Currently interested in alternative methods of navigation…proximity and directional (some BS words I made up to make it sound interesting). Will post up soon…like next year =S
Lost my keys and crappy phone. Strange, I kind of feel out of touch, although I’m pretty sure no body bothered to contact me today anyway. FML.

I feel like I’m in a slump creatively speaking lately. Need to update my portfolio which hasn’t had any love since 2007, get back to doing experiments, and overall do something creative.
Read this wonderful essay from the website of a book called Never Sleep which talks about the disconnect between transitioning from design student to design professional. Undecided whether to get this book, but that essay is pretty interesting.

Which isn’t bad in itself, but it prevents us from trying oddball, far-off,bizarre and ultimately original solutions.
