update

Been awhile since i updated this blog of mine... the wonderful summer sun has been burning hot and bright without fail. Definitely worth adding in my resume - Can work in hell like conditions. Or maybe hell has frozen over? The Eagles said so back in 1994. Recently watched the two part documentary History of the Eagles (2013) ... much renewed respect for the band..

the Eagles line up before Timothy was in...

(L-R) Joe, Randy(now out), Don Henley, Glen & Don Felder (now out)

Queen and the Eagles are right on top for me - vocals (harmonies) and song writing.. In both bands, members can (could) really sing..and compose. Yes, i know the fab four but i guess it was more of a Lennon McCartney thing.. In the Eagles, Glen and Don H never let Don F sing lead.. and in Queen, John Deacon was the shy guy .... but both have one thing in common sort of.. For the Eagles it was Don Felder' guitar tapes that led to Hotel California.. i'm sure it's the most well known Eagles song... For Queen it was John Deacon' bass line that led to Another One Bites the Dust -- (Queen's best selling single) ....So, what's the lesson? ..Ans: everyone has a purpose...

....while reading some UI/UX related articles i landed on lawsofsimplicity.com .. clicked on a post titled The Purpose of Human Life which led to me creating the typographic below... (crafted in Ai)

... based off writing on a Japanese clear file.. an amalgam of multiple quotes...

Me did some ~~research~~ Google-ing but couldn't find the right person to attribute for the last quote..both H.L. Mencken (Journalist, satirist, critic) and Evan Esar (humorist) show up... anyone out there knows?

Back to Purpose... i think my purpose in life is to become an Adobe Illustrator Evangelist... At work it's mostly deciding whether a particular CTA button should have sharp or rounded corners.. gradient or flat fill?.. and other important matters that could change the fate of our world..

but i really enjoy playing in Ai... here's a recent design created in Ai during some downtime at work...submitted to the folks at Google.. it was my concept for Google Glass..

Google rejected it..had they used my concept i'm sure it would've been a great evil success... they didn't and now we have the folks at SNL making fun of Google Glass.. Watch it for laughs.

..got time? Do listen to this scathing commentary..cybernetic slavery device it is (will be?)..

talking of glass here's a nice quotation related to glass..
