Well, a week ago I posted about how having passions outside of your job can fuel your creativity and motivation. I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the things that I am passionate about, and how they might relate to my future. Now, a week later, I’m doing a bit more than just reflecting: I […]

Just a quick post to say that I’m still here. I’ve been having off-and-on internet connection trouble at home: hence, the lack of a Weekly Reader last week. That, and I’m still working out a routine for myself to balance blog-posting (both here and at S&D) with all of the tweeting/fb-ing/linked-in-ing/flickr-ing for AIGAKC. I think […]

While blogging about the things I’m passionate about yesterday, I remembered that I had totally forgotten to post about the Goethe Institut in Washington, DC. Since hearing about the Goethe Institut in high school, I had always wanted to visit one of their offices, but never had the chance until our TransAtlantic Program reunion last […]

This post may be totally off-topic, but I just needed to put it out there because perhaps others struggle with the same issue. So I’ve been having a bit of a quarter-life crisis (to quote John Mayer) on and off for the past year. And in helping my sister make some decisions about whether she […]

Well, no Weekly Reader this week, but it was for a good cause. After assuming the role of Social Networking Chair a couple weeks ago, I’ve been hard at work this week getting a Twitter account up and running for our local chapter of AIGA. I’m proud to announce that if you are living/working in […]

While in D.C., I managed to slip into the National Gallery for just one hour. Although they Do have little 1-Hour-Must-See maps, I figured I’d just hit up the West Wing for the time I was there. I grabbed as many photos as I could. A post will be coming later on S&D highlighting my […]

This past weekend was great: I finished a couple projects I’ll probably post about in the near future. Although I didn’t have as much time as I’d hoped to work on the blog (additions/new features are still being added), I did get the rest of the photos from the A5 event loaded onto the AIGA […]

You might notice a few little tweaks here and there: I’m updating some plug-ins and am adding more links to the blogroll. For instance, today I added the Related Posts feature to the bottom of each post. More importantly, I’m really excited to have added Typogrify.
Ever since I started blogging, I’ve been more than annoyed with […]

Today, my second post for Stickers and Donuts was posted: D.C. Pattern Inspiration. Here’s a bonus pattern that didn’t quite make the post:
(This is an agate sample from the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum. I already had two rock/mineral samples…and while I’m in love with the pattern, it IS a bit blurry and I try not to […]

I was surprised to find so much inspiration while walking around D.C. Honestly, I never really had much desire to visit the city aside from wanting to see the Smithsonians, but it really is quite charming. This is the second in a series of posts I’m writing for both here and Stickers and Donuts (the […]
