Wow, it feels like it’s been years since my last blog entry. I caught a summer bug about 3 weeks ago, and I’ve been suffering ever since. I guess it took me that long to figure out that Sudafed no longer has Pseudoephedrine in it, and it has basically been rendered useless. Managed to get some of the behind the counter medication with the pseudoephedrine in it, and I’m starting to feel human again. Needless to say my cold had left me feeling uninspired to transcribe any of my thoughts from the past 3 weeks, most of which were circling around whether or not I had enough Kleenex to last me through the day.

So what were some of the missed activities other than a plethora of sneezes? Well, my mother came down from Jacksonville Memorial day weekend. We went to a farewell BBQ on Sunday as my friend Tracey had to put her dog down, and wanted to have a going away party for him. And another BBQ on Monday, my mother babysat for both parties. It was after Monday that the sickness started to set in.

So what have I been working on at the office in those last 3 weeks? Well I started to design a new skin for DSView 3, and I’ve been messing around with Scala InfoChannel Designer 5. Yesterday I wrote a Style Guide for Flex pages that are going to be integrated into DSView 3, and today I wrote a Power Point Presentation on how to integrate the Interaction Design process into the new SCRUM process that we are going to be implementing at work. So perhaps there was more than 1 reason why I didn’t document my latest experiences in the past 3 weeks. They have been less than inspiring so to speak.

Hopefully this weekend I will be in tip-top shape as I have been invited to a co-workers bday party, and the weekend after that we’re taking William on his first airplane ride. We will be going to Ohio for my grandfather’s memorial and a small family reunion.

I would like to end this treatise with a special thanks to President Bush for making products that some of need to function completely useless. Till next time…
