Introducing Design Musings

Design constitutes a big part of my life. My professional life focuses on the design of things (mainly web sites and software applications) for effective, efficient, and satisfying use by people. My paraprofessional life involves photography and digital imaging. My personal life involves architecture — my significant other is an architect who has designed an addition to my house and is in the process of building it, and as he is always (always!) talking about architecture and what makes a building good, I have learned a lot about it since we've been together. So I thought I'd build a little place where I can express thoughts and ideas as they occur to me — some random, some not-so — about all of these design-related topics. And maybe foster some interesting conversations.
