I’m back from a short vacation to Side (Turkey) which I spent reading and drinking beer. Also, looking at ruins. Side is an odd place where a contemporary charter tourist village has sprung up literally built on top of 2000 year old ruins<\/em>. As a result, you see ancient brickabrack all over the place \u2013 they use marble columns as doorstops \u2013 which in another context would be in a museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anywho. Since I’m reading a lot (mostly related to my UX studies) I’m starting to feel mentally constipated. I need to put some of the stuff into practice, or I’m going to forget it, which seems a waste of my time. So: Going forward I’ll pursue some simple ideas\/projects\/experiments to implement what I learn from the books (as well as the IxDF courses I’m taking on the side), but with a rule not to turn them into huge projects or guilt-tripping obligations \u2013\u00a0I’m just doing it to experiment, learn and get feedback. Sounds like fun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of which, I’m thinking of tidying this blog up a bit. Adding some “best of” posts in the left column and maybe even have categories of some sort. I know my readership here is in the single digits, but I ought to be able to use some material to inform a professional profile \u2013 my approach to work, research, thinking, etc. If you have opinions, get in touch through mail<\/a> or on Linkedin<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
