		<description><![CDATA[Why do I want to design? I want to do things that affect people in a noticeable way &#8212; yet not. I want what I do to fit seamlessly into people&#8217;s lives and just make them better. Design shouldn&#8217;t be an earthquake &#8230; it should be like the lobster in the pot of slowly heating [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=223&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Conceptualizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am panicking about my future. This isn&#8217;t the first instance, nor, I&#8217;m certain, will it be the last. However, this was the first time I think I had a truly good idea of what I want eventually. I want to be an interaction designer. There. I&#8217;ve said it. I can&#8217;t take it back.
The biggest [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=216&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Firefox Extensions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing around with the new Firefox 3.0 since its release date, and I have to say I&#8217;m pretty impressed. The configuration is pretty easy to tweak, although I don&#8217;t normally do much to it. Perhaps moreso, I&#8217;m impressed with the extensions I&#8217;ve picked out this time. They just seem more useful. That said, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=214&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Shampoo &amp; Conditioner</title>

Shampoo and conditioner, originally uploaded by Clean Wal-Mart.
Despite the photo, no, this will not be a post about having too many options. I&#8217;ll save that for Barry Schwartz (&#8220;On the Paradox of Choice&#8221;).
Instead, what I&#8217;d like to talk about is the design of shampoo and conditioner bottles. Standing in the shower today, I reached for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=211&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Viva Espana!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, here&#8217;s the thing. I had originally wanted the Germans to take the Euro Cup. I will not lie. They had played with such heart, such tenacity. And then, at the end of the semi-final match, I realized that they had muscled their way through that one, and as much as they rocked it, they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=210&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The Lord&#8217;s Prayer is a classic &#8230;
but everyone needs some Dylan in their life.

Oh wow. You have to check out Wordle. I think I&#8217;m going to go turn more quotes into word cloud art now. I should probably post something interesting soon &#8230; but I&#8217;m still twittering away. Oh, and Euro Cup &#8230; Euro Cup [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=207&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>muppets + rick astley = ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m not sure what the inspiration was for this particular video, but I enjoy it to no end. I&#8217;m not sure what else to say, other than that I had no idea what rickrolling was until now.
In other news, I&#8217;ve discovered Twitter, and you can find me here.
I really need to formulate a good blog [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=203&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

poppies party, originally uploaded by Matteo Sasselli.
I love the contrast of the bright poppies against the sky. It&#8217;s bleak, but hopeful.

		<title>Some days, you just can&#8217;t get rid of a bomb!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get a huge kick out of over-the-top clips such as this one. Apparently, bombs are very conveniently timed &#8230; and very large &#8230; yet not very heavy. Thank you, Ashley.

Classic quote:
&#8220;They may be drinkers, Robin, but they&#8217;re also human beings.&#8221;

		<title>Mixtapes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My formative years were spent with cassettes, but by the time I reached adolescence, CDs were firmly established. That said, I missed out on the true art of the mixtape. I like to make sure my mixes flow, but I never learned the art of smoothly mixing on my home tape deck. Most of my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofamy.wordpress.com&blog=3819993&post=198&subd=lifeofamy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
