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.
limited celebrity
it’s such a strange feeling to sit before a monitor displaying a dozen or more images of your face; 12 different expressions all at once, from an angle and perspective you never get to otherwise see; not even in mirrors (because they’re backwards–or spatially inverted–if you want to be technical). it’s what i’ve dealt with the past few days as i prep a new gallery of recent photos…and i can only imagine how a celebrity must feel having dozens or hundreds of strange people all waving photos, posters, t-shirts, etc.–effectively twice the number of faces as there are fans, except that half of those faces are yours. the only comfort i have is the control over the environment and how many of “me” there are.
nevertheless, i’m just about finished with said gallery, and i’ve posted a preliminary glance — recent photos. i’ve been experimenting with smaller-sized thumbnails due to the sheer number of photos i have or expect to have, and so you can see more per page, with a smaller download time. i personally prefer the horizontal rectangles 11:8 ratio of all the other galleries, as they’re more interesting in my opinion, so let me know or comment in the forum if you’ve got a preference.
today is expected to be incredibly hot — 95 degrees fahrenheit (with high humidity no less, because this IS minnesota) — and i plan to take advantage of the sun!

low bouncing morning
felt like shit this morning; and for most of the day. why is feeling sub-par described as such? no human being has ever been transposed to reside as an actual segment of feces; so how was it ever assumed that shit felt bad? in fact, many people feel better–even good–after shitting. my assumption is that it must not be too pleasant to be squeezed through someone (or any living creature’s, for that matter) anal sphincter. such a game of mostly chutes and few ladders must not be fun at all.
speaking of odd observations, i noticed while on the deck the other morning having a bowl of cereal, that birds have a very distinct locomotion while not airborne. they hop about like oddly shaped basketballs; balls about two-thirds through the lifespan of a typical bounce. you know, how at first the bounces are high, then they start trailing off, and eventually the bounce somehow becomes a roll. well just before a basketball were to start rolling from the mid-bounce–that’s how birds move. interesting, that.
enough for now. i’ve got work to do. ?muy importante!
