I'm Drawing a Blank Here

Monday, May 15, 2006 at 6:05pm 3 comments (last by patrick)

Has it really been a week since I've written up anything here? How time flies...

Actually I've had quite a few ideas for entries, but always find myself coming up blank when I've tried to sit down and just write. I've been rather scattered lately with a lot of things weighing heavy on me, which I won't go into now.

I don't often about design, but I've wanted to write up something about maps and information on our local transit system, Muni and how the confusing, sometimes contradictory, mish-mash of signs and announcements lead to otherwise smart people getting confused and making progressively bigger mistakes and end up on the wrong train.

Sometime soon, I promise.

Great minds think alike! link

Good comments by the way!

Thanks Patrick,

I posted a couple more comments on your site. I really like it, I'm glad you commented on my birthday post so I found out about it.

Likewise I'm sure! Hmmmm, two gay guys in San Francisco with an interest in urban planning--maybe you're my evil twin (or I'm yours). We should meet for coffee some day, or maybe not--we might both explode!

Incidentally, all the credit for the design of Sedulous Apes goes to my partner, whose time has been so consumed by his elderly mother who recently went into a skilled nursing facility in Kansas that he hasn't had a chance to blog :(
