Time to read: 5 minutesI had been wanting to visit Barcelona since 1999-2000, when I took an architecture course and discovered Art Nouveau housing and the work of Gaudí. That dream finally came true after so many years thanks to a contract ending a bit early, my partner having a few days of holiday he couldn’t carry over, and […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minuteAnother of my #crazyideas, dredged up from childhood memories. What if cigarettes could blow #bubbles full of smoke which carried that filthy stuff away? #smoking #health #crazyideas #e13 via Instagram http://ift.tt/2qfpj5P […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesOne of the problems I’ve always had is that I my hands are hyper-sensitive to heat. In itself this is small, but in 2017, I decided to stop having milky coffees. I’ve never digested milk very well, and it was time to stop it again. So it would be mostly americanos for me in 2017! […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesWeekend project.

And I was the only person who “did” UX… This is a short-ish story of why I now […] continue reading »

My colleague argues that if we send the dev my UX wireframes for the improvements, which are made in the sketchy style of balsamiq, he […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesThe seasons are changing and I am swapping out summer things for winter things, starting with the hardest things to wear out-of-season: shoes. Everyone says you should put one pair in one box and stick a photo on it. But those people must have a home printer or a way to take expert photos on white […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutesIn my most recent job, we are working in Agile. This is something I am unfamiliar with and am having fun learning about. Possibly too much fun. Today, we had people stopping on their way to places just to look at our team’s definitions of “ready”. The chipmunk (I attempted a kitten) asking for comments […] continue reading »

Time to read: 3 minutesDrawing is my meditation. Looking at a human (preferably undressed) for a long period of time and tracing their body onto paper is the only time when my brain quiets down and I take a break from thinking. When you draw, you cannot think. You must only see. It’s a wonderful feeling, especially for someone […] continue reading »
