Green Label Design

In case you didn’t know, this week is beer week in Philadelphia, I’ve been trying to enjoy some of it, though I’ve cut down my beer consumption quite a bit in the recent months. There’s lots of great stuff going on, including a Monday night with Flying Dog brewery at the P.O.P.E, which I ventured out to. Pretty cool place, nice neighborhood bar, great beer selection. For this special event, they were playing a Hunter S Thompson documentary, and of course all the Flying Dog brews were available. I happen to be reading a Ralph Steadman book right now, so I had to go.  It also inspired me to pick up a Flying Dog variety pack (along with a shiney new beer fridge) for a UX team brainstorm I scheduled for tomorow…who doesn’t love brainstorming with a tasty beverage?

Tomorow night, it’s to the Caribou Cafe for some french food, paired with some select Biere de Guard. Should be awesome!

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, so I figured I was due for an update. A lot has happened in the past 3 months….among other things - I’ve settled into a new fulltime gig with Avenue A | Razorfish as a senior experience architect, which is going well. I’m learning a ton, and I’m getting exposed to some great people and projects - including re-architecting a new philly.com website.

I took a weeklong vacation to Roatan, Honduras to do some diving. Roatan was awesome - the diving was incredible and I logged another 18 dives. The island of Roatan is beautiful, with great people, and much to do for someone who prefers to avoid the typical tourist destinations.

In contrast to diving in the tropics, I also finally tried skiing for the first time in my life, and a good time was had. After falling on my face a few times, and taking a lesson, I started to get the hang of it, and enjoyed it. Hopefully I get to go once or twice more before the season is up and hone my skills a bit.
