A change of season

After a rather long week at work it is nice to see the sun peeking out on this Saturday afternoon.  My time at work this past week has been part productive and partly consumed overanalyzing some politicized  events in the workplace that I largely have no interest in or power over. I need to recalibrate focus on things that matter.  I was sitting in my office yesterday chatting with a coworker and while he gazed out the window as a slight drizzle came down in the mid morning -- He said "I'm glad its raining".  So I ofcourse looked out and in that moment knew exactly what he meant -- Autumn was coming to Oregon. That might have been the closest I've come to having my first experience as an Oregonian since transplanting myself here from New York.  In the spirit of Autmn, I've purchased a pumpkin at Trader Joes to mark this change in season.  In other news - I'm excited about my upcoming trip to India.    Here is a great talk from John Maeda on Simplicity Patterns.
