So, Iddrise will tell me book title ideas to see me get disgusted. I have decided to make covers for these books. Enjoy!

20121103: a design for a book

20121103: a design for a book.
20121103: a design for a book.

This is the first of a set of posts in which I am experimenting with using grand concepts of design as a basis for sketches. In this case, the big idea is the book. Books carry a thematic idea through a series of pages, are portable, generally, and did so very much for the forward movement in learning, information distribution, and ideological archivism. I have my own feelings about its paper form and how it may not survive our movement to digital, socially, but for now, here is a small celebration of the idea.

Second goal reached

I weighed myself today to a special treat: 240 pounds, which was my second goal from 295 to 260 to 240 to 220 to 200. I am finally starting to really *feel* different, instead of relying on the scale to tell me I *am* different. And that’s a very welcomed change.

Love, love, love all of you for helping me to get there. ♡♡♡

Two things…

First, I’d like to thank all of you who have started to visit the blog. Apparently, I struck a small nerve. Let’s see if we can grow that. See stats below:

Secondly, had a wonderful misty cool night walk tonight to try to get my 10,000 in. Not there yet, but the night’s not over yet. 🙂
