February Randoms: Design, School and Ocean’s 13
School > Life
School has been hassling me for my attention and so far it is winning. The drastic contrast between working at my co-op just 2 months ago compared to where I am today with school is insane. While working in the “corporate” world afforded me routine schedules, meeting interesting people, and not [...]
Five (5) Things To Ask Yourself
I have too much time before I head out for the night celebrating the new year so I’m going to answer a few questions brought up by many bloggers, but more specifically from Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users.
0) What’s your name and website URL? (optional, of course)

1) What’s the most fun [...]
I Was A GeeXBoX Interaction Design Candidate
This morning I received an email from Celeste Lyn Paul, an incredibly awesome (from what I Googled) usability/interaction designer about the GeeXBoX project sponsored by the Open Usability: Season of Usability 2007 effort. They were inquiring whether I was able to commit 10-15 hours a week on the project as a requirement for consideration. [...]
New Years 2007 & Project 365 Resolution
Every blog and their mom seems to be looking back on 2006. It definitely has been a busy year with lots of different things going on. I say this every year, but each year seems to get better and better. Let’s see if I can break down my own experience for you [...]
I Need A Quality Portfolio
*Edit* Speaking of, Google just emailed me about my application for a design position. They want to see my portfolio. Gah! Time to buckle down and make magic happen. I need to respond back “sometime soon.” That’s pretty subjective. Is that like, by Monday? next week? next year?!
Title says it all.
I’ve been meeting with a ton of talented [...]
Summer Weekend Itinerary
Exciting news today! I got an email from an old friend that works for Safeco Insurance Company as a business analyst for their IT department. I interned there last summer and had the opportunity to hang out every now and then. She forwarded me a link of their revised campus recruiting site. [...]
I Heart Social Design Talk
This is where my Ph.D studies will go when I hopefully begin graduate school in the future. This kind of reading and self reflection on design principles in general compels me to continue planning on future research opportunities. It just seems funny because in the past 5 or 6 years, I have gone [...]
Ted Stevens Owned By Jon Stewart
I heart YouTube. It’s like TiVo online with crappy semi-decent quality (I can’t complain). This is definitely old news amongst bloggers and those who follow news on technology. The argument is about Net Neutrality and Jon Stewart from the Daily Show is poking good old humor on our long time friend, Alaskan [...]
Pre Game Show At Microsoft
So it was my first official day at Microsoft. I only call it offocial because I am now on payroll (woot!). It was a pretty basic orientation for new employees (NEO). Nothing really exciting except listening to all the nifty benefits as an employee and getting my wicked cool CardKey. Even [...]
Please Stay Tuned For The Regularly Scheduled Programming
It has been some time since I have updated and said anything. My apologies. I have been spnding my days and nights at various libraries, cafe shops and dark, wet corners in and around campus. Come Tuesday morning, I will return anew ready to share more wonderful articles on information design. [...]
