A lot has happened since my last update

Well, I completed developing the diaries then took a bit of a sabbatical. I really needed a break from school, it’s harder than you think to balance a family, a job and school and I had worn out. The break was over when I returned from #ixd11. It was a great trip, I learned a lot and met some of my design hero…Bill Verplank, Dick Buchanan and Alan Cooper. That was 5 weeks ago and a lot has developed.
One of my school peers pulled me out of the weeds of my thesis project and helped me realize that my project wasn’t just about creating a simple family organization system using future technology. It was developing a virtual social family network and needed to understand the architectural concepts of space and place. After diving into a great publication on creating virtual places I was ready to get going again with a new sense of direction.
