I've a deep passion for solving problems, be they digital or physical, UX or UI, product or brand, or some impossible Tetris stack. Data-driven design philosophy; data-backed decisions are the most logical and defendable. I lead by example, choosing my roles based on team chemistry, ability to exercise my broad skillset, and opportunity to make a positive change in the world. I speak Geek and Japanese and would be delighted to explain the most unusual sushi I've ever eaten.

it’s human nurture to make rules; it’s human nature to bend and break them.

somewhere along the line, some group of people felt it was necessary for laws such as the “speed limit”. and through the years, everyone has grown to accept them as a normal part of daily life. but of course, human nature will decree that everyone try to eke out a few (or many more) miles per hour than the law allows. one can even incur the wrath of many drivers’ road rage for NOT exceeding the speed limit. i know this because i don’t speed in the z, (although i fight the constant urge to squeeze 4mph extra out!)

interesting day…

i’ve changed the links which follow each journal entry slightly; instead of linking to the forum, clicking the ‘comment..’ brings you to a form where you can enter a topic and all the retort you like. i’ve always wanted the forum to be a place where people can respond to what i write because sometimes i (not a confession) get really carried away; further than i should…heh

children can’t resist the urge to squash a bug when they see it. why? because they can.people will walk across a pristine lawn of fresh snow, just to leave their mark.

is the convenience of the ‘track forward’ button on a cd what causes the impatience when a commercial interrupts your favourite television show?

why is hindsight so 20/20? seems unfair to not have the same opportunity the first time around!

shouldn’t ‘greed’ have more letters in it?

how come people pay so much attention when you wear sunglasses in a store? if they’d been off the whole while, nobody would notice you at all.

everyday minutae poetry

everlasting

“brown-eyed boy meets a blue-eyed girl
you can sew it up, but you still see the tear
baby’s got blue skies, but in this i’m a raincloud;
ours is a stormy kind of love
oh, oh…the sweetest thing” — bono

never one for timing: when i’ve finally figured out exactly what i want; she no longer does.

the nice thing about sewing it up, but still seeing the tear is the same as a poem: a poem is still pretty even once you rip it from the notebook and have all the ruffled edges on the side of the page. love may be fickle and even fragile, but it’s forever; wrinkles, tears, and smudges do nothing to the poem’s impact when you remember its lines.
