VizFarm IXDA

I presented some work at the IXDA (Interaction Design Association) for an event called VizFarm that was held at IDEO's office in San Francisco.

The event's focus was data visualization. It was a pleasure to share the spotlight with talented interaction designers in the area.

sometimes

Sometimes on a rare, wonderful occasion..
we stumble into the finding the very thing we never knew we always wanted.

I am so happy to have been exposed to film-making.
My life will never be the same.

buddhism and design

Artistic and intellectual work requires the consumer to find he answer for him or herself.
Finding the answer on your own is the only true way to understanding.

Use yourself to talk about what is around you.
For designers this means using yourself, giving of yourself.

You need heart to make impact and create change.

You need intellect to persuade.

Culture is international
The only cultural division is stupidity and willful ignorance vs. empathy and consciousness.

Education and culture give us the possibility to be less stupid.

Freedom requires basic needs being met.

hello patent

A vanity Google search of my name resulting in discovering one of my patents. This one for a method and system for providing multiple input connecting user interface.

I tend to go 1,000 miles an hour from one thing to the next because I am full of ideas and want to make new things up, I forget that the things I have done were pretty cool.

Its nice to have a look back sometimes.

BART offers a plethora of mobile options and now is also launching city-inspired iTunes playlists as well. I like this.
