My List Of Excuses

Having just approved the comment from AndyAndy that my blog was indeed boring (4 months since last post???) I decided to start a list of excuses for why I have not posted in so long.

I have been reading.

• The Inmates Are Running The Asylum by Alan Cooper
• Don’t Make Me Think! by Steve Krug (a re-read)
• Making and Breaking the Grid by Timothy Samara
• The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst
• Thinking With Type by Ellen Lupton
• My RSS Feeds (Yanko Design, Gadget Lab, SimpleBits, Zeldman, & A Brief Message)
• Also, HOW Magazine finally pulled its head out and started sending my magazine subscription

I have been working.

• I performed all manner of CSS trickery for Pearson’s second version of Course Compass
• I am now focusing on some UX/ID (finally) for Course Compass
• I have been conferencing
• I have been documenting my conferencing
  
• I did some design for UGA’s Sakai pilot
• I helped troubleshoot some of Georgia Tech’s Sakai enhancements
• I did some quick designs for my pal WebChuck
• I am in the process of ripping ESG Utah up by the roots and completely overhauling everything there
• I have blogged elsewhere
  

I have been fathering.

• I have been yelling at cheering for the twin’s at their soccer games
• I have been wondering if wife’s French-Canadian roots have completely diluted any aggressive German football (read soccer) genes in the twins
• I want to know when Kindergarten started assigning homework
• I want to know what’s with the policy to put twins in separate classes (Two different teachers, two completely different homework assignments)
• I have been supporting the Dysart Unified School District by buying snow cones every Friday afternoon when I pick the boys up from school
• I think I will continue to purchase said snow cones through January if AZ weather trends continue
• I have been giving the Princess (daughter) anything she wants (just ask Daddy, sweetheart)

I have been procreating.

• I have been told the baby is due on January 3, 2008
• I hope they stick to the scheduled c-section date of December 27, 2007 so I get the tax break
• I am scheduling my frontal lobotomy soon
