Travelling. Enjoying Life. Seasons change, the leaves fall. Air is crisp and stings so sweetly. Sorry for the lack of updates. Life is continually moving. New office, new friends, and new experiences. Trying to make the most of the short time here.

Have been able to start on a few things, and get wrought by a few things in the recent past. Was able to see some of my favorite people up in the Northwest, and get inspired once again by their company. They are the ones that drive me.

In two days, I will again hop on a plane for Nippon, a land that terrifies me with bewildered eyes. Travelling once again for bikes, and this time on someone elses dime. Will be an amazing experience, and I am so glad to see some of those others that inspire me.

Inspiration is a tricky creature. Always present, yet never seen. Lurking where you least expect it and never where you need it. As a designer I am constantly searching for those things that inspire me and it is usually found the furthest from design. Too simple is the design connection. Does design, in all forms, excite me? Of course, but that is too simple, and similar. No evolving there. It's when it is found in the clovers, or the sky, from your doorstep to across an ocean. The smallest things and most profound influences.

I am going to be drifting for a few more weeks to come. Too many places to go see. Too many things to enjoy. Until then, continue the struggle.
