Boxes and Arrows: Coloring Outside the Lines is a fine article by erin on the pleasures of a balanced life, inspired in part by my closing remarks from the IA summit, and in part by her wonderfully full life.

You may have noticed by my blog entires that I'm more interested in the act of being alive than ripping apart other folks interfaces or pontificating on usability issues... I see a trend in other blogs as well, including the reborn peterme.com.

I still love design, but really I love lots of stuff-- making crepes, planting tomatoes, reading Hemingway after a several year absence, cool wood floor on warm bare feet, african guitar, japanese drums, incandescent light-- again, the act of being alive is one full of pleasures if you can remember to pay attention.
