Holy crap, an update! Life here has been much the same from day to day, lots of various drama at work and mostly nothing too interesting to post. Most evenings I’ve been glad once I’m home to just make some dinner, watch some Netflix or play Torchlight, and read A Storm of Swords by Mr. [...]
I got a table and need no longer eat on the floor. :) I also went for a walk Saturday morning and took some pictures of my neighborhood. As you can see it’s quiet and pleasant. There’s what looks like a well but isn’t, out by the street. I don’t know if it’s supposed to [...]

So, as of last night I’m moved into my currently-permanent residence in Pittsford, NY. It’s a condo in a little subdivision just down the road from the Pittsford Wegmans (and soon a Trader Joe’s, plus lots of other stores) on one side and the Erie Canal on the other. The condo neighborhood is apparently mostly [...]

You may recall that right before Christmas I got a job offer to go work at StormFrog, where I did some freelance work in 2010. I promptly (if regretfully) put in my notice at Accuraty, packed my bags and got myself a plane ticket, since they needed another designer as soon as possible. StormFrog set [...]

Things have been quiet, not too much going on… but that’s fine with me. Had a good 4th of July with some friends, and saw my best friend’s mom perform at the local hippie grocery store. She and her duet partner sound really good! The weather has been stiflingly hot, but is cooled down for [...]

Life has been pretty boring lately to tell the truth, so I had a field trip up to Chicago and visited a couple of high school friends and then went to my best friend’s graduation from the University of Chicago. First I hung out with Rose and Lillian and went to a couple of good [...]

Continuing the post from last time about things that have struck me since being back in the US… I was finally starting to get used to German grocery stores when I left, so now I miss the routine I was falling into. I’ve even gotten into the habit going to the store every other day [...]

Strangely, the culture shock coming back from Cologne wasn’t as bad as when I came back from Dessau. I guess this time I knew what to expect from Americans vs Germans – how the two countries would be different. There are things I miss from Germany, but this time, I already had an idea what [...]
Thursday opened the Karneval celebration proper in Cologne. Several of my coworkers took Thursday and Friday off, either to spend more time celebrating or to run away from the city-wide party. So things were really busy while we struggled to make up for the missing people, so it was pretty much all work and no [...]

What have I been up to? Well, various design projects: The client wanted the above design done on a very short timeline, but since they thought their play on the company tagline was hilarious, they were easy to please. Also some doodles… (notice they are iPhone dimensions, for those of you with fancy widgets!) I’ve also [...]
