Developing Usable Experiences

Caught in the flow with rapids ahead

So this is supposed to be spring-break for us graduate students. For me it’s a week where I’m able to concentrate on work projects without too much of an academic shadow. And I have, leveraging skills learned over the last couple years.

But right now, even though I could be working on a white paper draft due in less than two weeks, I’m watching cartoons. It’s not like the paper doesn’t have a good start, we’ve already drafted a good part of it. So I watch episodes of Cowboy Bebop that I’ve seen at least twice already. While scheduling group meetings for the weekend.

Judging by how few of my classmates I see online, I suspect they are occupying themselves elsewhere. Hopefully they’re watching alligators or enjoying live music or exploring another country. Seems like a classmate is in Ireland at the moment.

I’m in my basement office, thinking about how value is created. Thinking about how value is created through the tools and resources we use and wondering how to find where things can be improved. Kind of abstract, but I’m working at it. Project’s need direction, attention needs focus. Evolution is driven by competing forces.

So easy to get caught in the raging flow. Swept along. Forced by the current, the circumstance.

    Do you realize you are ALMOST DONE??? Well of course you do. But it must seem somewhat unreal. After working so hard so long you will soon be a Master! Congratulations!
