It’s actually a dog bed :) My assistant, Tonks (a 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier) likes to take up residence there from time-to-time!

You have a really nice office. It kind of looks like a fat snake in the corner but maybe it’s a beanbag or something?

I’ve had this one myself.

I come from a design background that started in the early 90’s, and primarily from an industrial design starting point. So function over form, has always been an odd balance for me to strike.

It does pain me quite a lot, when I hear that particular argument “I just want the info”.

Does this person spend their entire time just digesting rss feeds in their vanilla rss reader? or do they ever EVER actually look up from the code.

To me, the design is the fulfilment of the desire to communicate and connect with the audience.

Sure I can give you “just the facts Ma’am”, but surely we would be missing all the fundamental insignificants of the world that make it great and wonderful?

You can simply taste the fine wine, and sure, it’s a great great drop. But shared with friends or loved ones, over a fine meal, or during a sunset, makes it all that much richer and more memorable.

Each of us is different, some of us like to have “just the facts” and live in perhaps somewhat ’sterile’ world. Others prefer to feel something from everything they interact with. Thus enhancing their experience of the world, every last drop of it.

So sure, we don’t need the theatre, or the arts, but the world is far less rich without them.

Remembering to do it is the tricky part! Look forward to seeing your journey home.

I like this meme, and I like doing memes. I just have to remember to do it sometime now! :D
thanks for tagging me!
