My Design Sensibility

white space my best friend

crisp clarity is my goal

not one extra word

Such is my ascetic: minimalism, concise clarity. Inspired by modernist and Swiss Style, I prefer crisp fonts, lots of free, open white space.

Friday Morning Haiku

A Haiku On A Cloud Filled Night

The moon peeks through evening clouds

Tranquility
Moonlit clouds
Gracefulness

The moon peeks through the clouds this cool Seattle evening. Misty rains paused long enough for me to complete a walk. Thus my mood’s betterment achieved.

Wishing you all thoughts of peace during these troubled times.

This Evening’s Haiku

gravity’s demand
even the sun can’t resist
calmness comes with night

Early Morning, June27, 2020

an ocean of sound

boldly starting the day

the sky remains dark

Pre-dawn tones, birds and insects chatter, apart yet together. Robins, crickets, then crows: acoustic motion across my consciousness.

Saturday morning, just a few more days left of June. Many types of chronological motion, too, greying my hair. Speaking to me of near ancient memories. Ancient, at least, in terms of humanity, of human life-spans. 

A Summertime Haiku

jaunty tunes

wheels bearing

iced confections

Summertime is upon us. It’s definitely arrived in Seattle, though looks like it might pause this weekend. I hope you’re feeling the pleasent joys summer brings.

outside my window

silent darkness 

tranquility

A Tuesday Haiku

Humanity’s child

Born of electrons’ motion

Will flowers be loved?



Discussing Artificial Intelligence with a friend I wonder if AI will be our contribution to the universe. If Fermi’s Paradox will be overcome by humanity in spite of our drive towards insanity.

I wonder…

Morning Meditation: A Life You’re Proud Of

Do the best you can

Live a life you are proud of

And have no regrets

I woke with this idea, a strong voice in my head. This is how to live a life with no regrets. Always do the best work you can. Always seek actions that you are proud of. Then you’ll have nothing to be ashamed of.
