Philosophical wonder woman

I've decided to stop posting at my technology blog and use this one for all topics. I don't understand why there is such a huge wordpress following in the designer community. I find their interface quite buggy and dysfunctional. I'm unable to modify in html mode and the GUI interface doesn't work right currently. Perhaps it's a Firefox issue but if Wordpress is meant to be used in IE, that's a sure-fire way to ensure I'll never use it. So back to the subject of the post I was going to publish to that blog before I experienced a multitude of issues... I came across this website through Design Meltdown . The emphasis was on icon-based design examples and I think it's a nice trend. I'm a very visually oriented person and there are lots of free & lovely icon sets out there for download. This site in particular I think has a nice, clean, yet visually intuitive/friendly design: http://danwiersema.com/ I have a couple new website projects upcomin...

I love my therapist - she has awesome suggestions all the time for practical ways to deal with issues in your life. I think everyone should have therapy at some point in their life to examine issues that have been problematic and also to have an un-biased confidant with resources to help you.

Often it's very difficult to let go of someone you have attached to if you're incorrectly remembering the past. This is where the 'jerk card' comes in. Now I'd say on the whole usually people need reminders about the good in each other but it's the opposite for me. Someone has been a...

Started training today on Knowledge Accelerator for Business Objects. I had no clue what that even meant... Basically it's designing courses, simulations and evaluations to train people on whatever topic is needed. For instance if I wanted a training module on how to upload and publish a document in our Intranet, I could make a simulation, course, reference documents, etc. all fairly easily. I'm so grateful it's an intuitive GUI-based program... For a while I thought we would be programming from scratch. However, I'll be off my usual social media sites all week so things will be quiet from me (can hear Colleen heave a sigh of relief as her phone takes a much needed break from being blown up by my daily tweets). :) And hey, more resume padding... shiny.
