Hi Lauren
Learning photography sound a cool idea, both a good hobby and useful to your work too. I am going to have to have a look at some of this sumi-e painting too.

My boyfriend is theone for video games. I bought him a Nintendo Wii for his Birthday and he’s addicted to the tennis. I play the guitar (badly) to relax, I love it you can forget everything while your playing.

I don’t invent new products, but I love page layout and in my spare time I like to scrapbook I also want to take some classes on photography and sumi-e brush painting. I love learning new things.

I retreat from the rigors of designing by playing video games (Lord of the Rings Online is my newest time-waster) and taking walks or reading in the park. Backpacking is a really great way to get away from things, too. It’s so refreshing!

Hi Marc,

Thanks for commenting and the compliment. I know what you mean about having to do something totally different to slow your brain down…you run..I find a walk in the countryside helps me switch off

Ha. It’s so true. Over the years, the only way I’ve been able to shut my brain off is through jogging/running. And I think that is mainly due to a tendency to want to be around other people and nature in general.

But I suspect-soon, there will be hand-held device with speech to text translation so I can continue to jot ideas down even while running.

Great blog.

Just checked out techquillashots site, cool idea. Interesting thought on doing a simlar design related website...hmmm...I wonder how that could work?? On a similar theme is idea-a-day.com where people submit ideas and they display one a day.

I always give away my ideas, because I know I’ll never do them myself (too busy). techquilashots.com operates on a similar idea from a business startup viewpoint – maybe a design take on that site would be interesting… now theres an idea!

Hi Sean,

Don’t give away all of your ideas!

I am looking forward to seeing the pogo bike in the shops!
Better buy yourself a notebook, one of those ideas you forgot could have made you a fortune (one day eh )

Don’t give away all of your ideas! You don’t want them to be taken by anyone else.

I get some ideas once in awhile but I never seem to have paper or a pencil laying around to jot them down, then of course I end up forgeting lol.
