Early morning ferry ride to Divar Island? Check.
Dreamy summer weekends at the beach. How I love these two!
Sasha just loved Bondla! Looking forward to bringing her back here when she’s a little older to understand all the animals.
Going DCCPER
First day at DCCPER today. Met up with Luke and Hannah. Such a hugely talented team sitting in a humble office in the heart of Panaji, and the best part is almost all of them are Goan.
I join the UX design team, splitting my time between product design, wireframing, UI design and creating working HTML/CSS/JS prototypes.
I’ve got such a good feeling about this. Our design philosophies are very much aligned, nice friendly people, great work culture, interesting projects — I can’t wait to begin!
Adeus, Kainos
My last photo with the Kainos family. It’s been a good two years at Santa Cruz. I had the privilege of working on two really large enterprise web apps for local Goan businesses.
But it’s time to move on. Startup life is fast and unpredictable, and we’re often victim of our own biases — so things don’t always work out the way you expect.
I guess that’s the beauty of it all. Thank you for the memories.
Shuffling again
After nearly a year, I’ve started shuffling again. Doing it for fitness and as a stress-coping mechanism, rather than love of dance.
I’ve realised that — like most things worth pursuing — shuffling looks deceptively easy but takes a while to master. This is a simple Melbourne shuffle routine with the basics: RM variations, T‑stepping, spins and kicks. Keeping it simple with both the moves, and the edit (once again with Lightworks).
The track used is a snippet from Survive, by Savant. Add him to a list of producers I’m digging these days — Vintage & Morelli, Fehrplay, Soarsweep, EDX and more.
Life Of Christ by Fulton Sheen
Life of Christ is essential Catholic reading. Written by Fulton Sheen—one of America’s most charismatic Catholic leaders — it is no doubt the fruit of decades of quiet contemplation and reflection on the life of Jesus.
688 pages of insight await. The last time I was so excited about a book was Steve Ray’s commentary on St. John’s Gospel.
I’ve just read a couple of random pages, but I already get the feeling the next few months will be intensely enlightening.
Lord, in my zeal for the love of truth, let me not forget the truth about love.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Sasha’s first evening at the beach. She totally enjoyed gazing at the birds and feeling the breeze on her face.
The all-new Hidden Logic
After around two months of working late nights and over free weekends, Issue 1 of the all-new Hidden Logic went live last night.
It has evolved into a curated digital publication that will eventually see a variety of content added over the coming months. For now, Issue 1 meditates on the different aspects of remix culture in design and technology, Virgin America’s new booking site, Medium’s technology stack and more.
Every issue will have a unique cover based on the feature story, just like in print. My goal is to have an issue every month with one original feature story, and a handful of notes. Strictly design content — graphic, web, typography, mobile, HTML/CSS and more.
For the first time, I’ve put “ads” into the site. These are fantastic goods and services I’m sure all designers will enjoy. I have been curating stuff like this for a while, and I will add one or two of these in every issue. They also serve as a visual break of sorts from long-form content. For the record, I’m not getting any revenue from these.
The site is built mobile-first (the first time I actually did this) and looks great on my Lumia 620. Powered by Textpattern and AJAX, I’m pretty proud of the result.
The older site has been archived at v2.hiddenlogic.in. Let me know what you think about the new site on Twitter.
