[CARTOON] Married with Kids #1 — “MIXED SIGNALS”

mohaps — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:19:41 +0000

Decided to do little doodles about some really funny moments I’ve had.

Based on a true story…

What I didn’t draw was about a dozen passers-by staring at us and me sheepishly trying to stop Adaya from jumping around screaming “white People! White People! We’re safe!”

..and how compared to the grander scheme of things, all of our "achievements" mean nothing to the universe. Great stuff #

Pain Management

mohaps — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:44:20 +0000

tl;dr: Pain is your body’s way of telling you what you shouldn’t be doing. If you block pain completely by using analgesics, then you might end up doing more damage as you’ll push your body in to doing weird things.

I’ve had back pain for a while now, which culminated a month or so ago into a slipped disc that pressed into the spinal nerves. This caused an amazing amount of pain in my right leg and a couple of days ago, I underwent surgery. My medicine cabinet is now overflowing with pain medication.

When I had a chat with my doctor before the surgery, I explained to him what my take on pain management was and he was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t subscribe to the “pill popping” school of pain management.

My philosophy is simple. I take the bare minimum pain medication necessary to allow me to function. I do believe strongly that at any given stage in life, one has a choice : one can either choose to function or not. There have been great men and women in the history of mankind who have overcome debilitating injuries and handicaps. I don’t claim even a fraction of their mental strength or character. But I do know this: no matter how bad things get, I’ll always choose to function.

steve jobs made an entire generation of interface designers color blind… the only pallette they use is #SterileCylonToiletSeat #
To put my last tweet in context, imagine if all the tones you heard were just F-Sharp or minor variations thereof. #
I predict that the next big hipster language of choice will be Kobol Functional Cobol #HalfJoking #
Minimalistic Industrial Design as applied to software/interface design was once a fresh idea that has become a cargo cult institution #
The Apple-sque #SterileCylonToilet pallette has become a hammer with the magnitude of Mjölnir for interface designers #IfYouAllHaveIsAHammer #
