Time to read: < 1 minute So I’ve decided that I like writing quite a lot, and i should have a platform for storing said writings. My confabulations and findings will henceforth reside on exintaris.com, with varied amounts of verbosity and pedantic prose. You aren’t, by any means, requested or expected to read any of these meanderings. If you do, however, […] continue reading »
UX Design verticals
Time to read: < 1 minute While learning more about my discipline (user experience architecture), I discovered that I may have been mislabeling myself. There is a taxonomy matrix of skills / roles that has been developed by MethodBrain, and it doesn’t quite agree with what I thought was applicable.

The t-shirt quest

Many years of shopping around the world have led me to […] continue reading »
