A few short months ago this application was only a series of screen designs I created with MockApp. Now it has been demonstrated at IPEX, a high profile print/publishing/media trade show. Reuven Sherwin, Founder; VP Products, Research &#038; Development at XMPie (a Xerox Company) spent three months as a visiting researcher at the Xerox Research [...]]]></description>

A few weekends ago, I had the opportunity to attend WordCamp Toronto 2010 as a representative of Trailmeme, one of my current projects at Xerox. A trail is a way to tell a story with URLs, you can see an example of a trail created for WordCamp Toronto that collects all of the resources from [...]]]></description>

I lost my Grandma Betty on January 6. Her passing was sudden and unexpected, I still can&#8217;t quite believe she is gone. We celebrated her life in Junction City, CA on January 17. It was a gathering of family and friends, my cousin Charlie put together a slide show from all the great pictures she [...]]]></description>

Last year at about this time, I was at a very low point in my life. I was uncharacteristically depressed and felt trapped by circumstance and obligation. The start of the New Year (2009), along with some support from those who are closest to me, gave me some energy to re-balance myself. I started exercising [...]]]></description>

I redesigned this site and updated my resume this year to begin looking for a new job. My goal was to be in a new position by March of 2010. I&#8217;m happy to report that I have met my goal, in true overachiever style, 5 months early.
One of the milestones in my plan included looking [...]]]></description>

NPR aired a story this morning in the business news on Morning Edition: Solving Health Care Problems By Design, an interview with Tim Brown of IDEO. I asked my partner to pay special attention because it introduced concepts of User Centered Design in a way that was understandable and easily accessible by regular people (non-designers).

I&#8217;ve had my toe in the social media pool for a while and the water feels fine. However, I&#8217;m always looking for shortcuts. Facebook is my primary arena right now and I feed my status updates to twitter via twitterfeed. I have been experiencing a bug in this process which double-posts to Twitter and is [...]]]></description>

I have finally given up on Yahoo hosting. Turns out there are many issues beyond the permalink problems I noted in an earlier post. I also had problems getting a simple contact form to work. I chose BlueHost because it was recommended by Wordpress and was able to get everything switched over and running within [...]]]></description>

This photo that I took at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu during our vacation in March has been published in the Schmap!! Honolulu Guide (online). It is an image of Pacific Islander ceremonial garb (I can&#8217;t remember which islands, but it wasn&#8217;t the ones we were on) taken with my iPhone. I took the picture [...]]]></description>

There are a lot of very cool concepts in this list, but none of them seemed quite right for me. I wanted to express the basic facts [...]]]></description>
