Haiti

So a good friend of mine flew to Haiti this morning to help rebuild. He is positioned in a place that it was a great time for him to give back. I wish I was positioned to do what he is doing. I feel that I am tied to LA for fiscal reasons.

LA - Don't that the wrong way, I love it here but I feel like I need to do more community service. I don't like to admit it but I have not volunteered for any community service except for the Interaction Design Association in over two years. I have done a lot of work with IxDA but still i feel the need to give back to those with less than me.

So if anyone has ideas about charities in which I could volunteer please let me know.

iPad, random Grammyness, and IxDA Savannah

Well it has been an interesting few days. We first hear that Apple is coming out with the iPad an interesting device that has caused a spur of opinions in the IA world. I think I will wait and see how it goes. It does sound like an entertaining toy. I could see myself playing hours of bejeweled or putting puzzles together. Yeah, that is the type of gamer I am. I like to just play the one on one games over and over again. I would be happy with solitary.

The Grammys I am enough of a fan that I watched the clips on you tube today. I have to say that I was really impress with Pinks performance. It was beautiful, simple and classic nuttyness. I have to give props to Lady Gaga and her outfit, the yellow hair is barbie classic.

So looking to the future, I wish I was going to the IxDA Savannah but I will see if I can make it to the IA Summit in Phoenix this year. I feel I need to get back into the circuit and move my career forward. Three cheers to IxDA 2010!
