Time to read: 5 minutes“I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year!” Na-No-Wri-Mo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and is a 30-day challenge to write 50’000 words. The premise requires that it be on a new story, not an editing job. The tagline of NaNoWriMo is “50’000 words in 30 days”. And every NaNo-er knows that means writing a daily quota […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutes“I’m doing NaNoWriMo this year!” And I can see the eyes glaze over, the ears perk up in case they could pick up an extra syllable I may have left hanging in the air, that might help them decipher this… sound I just made. Na-No-Wri-Mo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and is a 30-day […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesI have been journaling since I could hold a pen, and doing some variant of Bullet Journaling since discovering it maybe five or six years ago. I even started a Bullet Journal Addicts meetup in London (https://www.meetup.com/bujo-addicts/) so I could share what I am doing with like-minded people and see how they worked too. At […] continue reading »
Time to read: 7 minutesThe forest I built a little forest. Or so I call it. My corridor has a bend. It makes a right angle to the right, that you can’t see from the entrance. So in that part of the hidden corridor, a part I only transit through – like all corridors – I hid a forest. […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesHere is the next instalment of the Linear Calendar! In the past year, I’ve ended up using the Linear Calendar a lot to plan workshops, design sprints and projects. I also make strips of it to make a team calendar / timeline. All of those uses required a single strip of the thing, so I […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutesMy friend found a ceramics workshop at the V&A. Turns out we cast a few clay things in molds, and were shown all sorts of ways to turn them into interactive objects. The only thing we were given was an RFID tag, so I decided to make a page it could take you to and […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutesYou don’t have to only go to Greece in the summer. I mean… it’s AWESOME in the summer. Especially if you like spending time on a beach to read, listen to music, play some tavli (backgammon in them foreign parts), drink cold coffee, and swim. But if you’re not into any of those things, then […] continue reading »
Time to read: 7 minutesI’m often asked about what I use as a design reference. And as the question has been coming up more and more often, I thought it’d be good to try and write up an answer. This answer will be in multiple parts. In the first part, I listed a few NN Group articles that act […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutesI’m often asked about what I use as a design reference. And I have asked that question of people over time too. It’s how you learn, when your discipline does not yet have textbooks… Sadly, I’ve seldom gotten a useful answer, as far as I can remember… so I thought that it would be nice […] continue reading »
Time to read: 4 minutesIn January, I went to a meetup in Athens, Greece, for the first time ever, and I thought it was kind of bad… And it made me wonder, what makes meetups good? For those who don’t know me, I have lived in London, UK, since 2006 (explains the bias of my meetup experiences), am of […] continue reading »
