So, this is some branding for a Bristol, PA based team that is walking to fight breast cancer. I’m a sucker for a cause. Plus, the girl who asked me to do it was the first girl I ever kissed, back in a Friday night high-school dance. How could I possibly say no?

So I’m on the superteam for TEDx Princeton Library, from the people who brought you TEDx NJ Libraries. My first task is to create some branding that emphasizes our theme this year, which is Cornerstone, referring to the beautiful and inspiring cornerstone of the Library. So far the winner is the red topped cornerstone. I still have soem work to do, but we made a lot of progress in just a short time.

91 of 365 is on my cataracts #Inkscape

 

Cataracts
Cataracts

 

As many of you know I have cataracts in each of my eyes, which is unusual for people who are not yet 40. It’s been a challenge, especially because I think of myself primarily as a visually oriented person. Driving, reading, designing, and computing have all become rather difficult to perform. Except for driving, those are my favorite activities. I hope to get lens replacement surgery soon, and I will never, ever overlook visual special needs in my development work again.
