A Monday Morning Haiku

Sunlight pushing in
sunlight pushing in
another day comes to life

my eyes resisting

Tonight’s Haiku: May 3, 2020

WITHIN THIS COLD RAIN
DROPLETS DIVING OFF FLOWERS
THE CROW LAUGHS WITH ME

Today’s Haiku : May 2, 2020

walking this evening
getting to see such beauty
life in quarantine

Windows 10 Shortcuts, Hotkeys & Features You Need To Know ⌨🖱

Jerry “Barnacules” created an awesome video with some hyper-useful shortcuts and hotkeys. I’m a junkie for shortcuts and stuff, and there’s a bunch of these that were new to me.

Some image art I whipped up

Last night I was experimenting with Canva (full disclosure: referral link) and whipped up the image below (shared on my Instagram page). I’ve heard this line a bunch over the past “little bit” (in other words, I have no idea exactly how long I’ve been hearing people say this), and really love the line. Not the most elegant design, but I found it fun. There’s a lot I like about Canva, but I’m not getting rid of Adobe anytime soon. 

Poem In My Pocket Haiku Challenge

Posted this poem on Instagram earlier today. I love responding to challenges.

Come and follow me there, too!

Surveillance and Culture

In my Human Relations class we’re discussing corporate surveillance. In one of my responses I brought up my concern about how companies, tracking their employees, are then responsible for securing that data. In response, one of my classmates shared this video with me that’s quite relevant. As he described it, it’s a 20-minute Socratic exploration into data security and social surveillance. Some very interesting discourse, for me at least. Powerful questions to ask as technology’s ability to track our every move grows daily.

A Photo Inspired Haiku

joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise

I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.

sunlight has faded I’m facing infinity a star through the clouds

in the darkness: acceptance.
