For my daughter....
Made by by the edges photography (blah blah blah)
Today marks the three year anniversary, some call it angelversary of my daughter Skylar's death, she was stillborn at more than six months of pregnancy....I light a candle, I cry, I mourn.....I still miss her terribly....always will. September 5, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. my world exploded and died, I never knew...no had no idea, that a howl could come from my soul and make a noise so loud that the nurses scurried and closed doors, that the world stopped spinning, tilted completely off its axis and sat at the base of my womb, silent, no heartbeat, no hands waving, ballerina feet twirling, little body in perfect profile, crumpled in a tiny lump, she wouldn't let me see the screen, she stood in front of it, and said, I'm sorry Melisa, there is no heartbeat, there is no sign of life.: I watched out the window in the hospital, the sky was bright bright blue, one of those September days when you can forget Fall will be nipping around the corner, the sun blazing warmly, the people coming and going beneath my window five floors up, my mom, my mom, my mom, my mom, sobbing, oh my god...on the other end of the phone...MELISA what? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? Because I was crying so hard all that would come out was anguish...and because she knew what I was saying..because she heard me, she heard me say the baby, mom, the baby died.......and she didn't want to hear it...and my best friend saying over and over at the other end, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, and my X husband not knowing what was awaiting him, because I told his mom not to tell him before he got there...and him coming into the room...gutted knowing anyway...and my baby, and my baby, and my baby......turned like a stone, hard and unmoving inside me... and I watched the sun, and the clouds and the people under my window who didn't feel the earth fall off its axis, who didn't know the world had just died, and looked into the sky, and when I thought about heaven....for a minute I thought about heaven, and I said, Skylar should be her name, because I was thinking about the sky and thinking about heaven.....and so I labored for hours, for something that would not happen, I labored for nothing, no real reason other than to get the chance to hold my sweet girl, but hours of labor, you can get through it, you can forget it later, because the doctor hands you a screaming pissed off baby, and you think, oh yes, oh thank god its overandimadeitandwemadeitandnowyouaremybabyforever.....but this, labor labor for nothing, labor for a dead baby, my dead baby girl....oh and every wave made me cry harder....until many hours later I laid back and she became free from her little world inside me. And I held her, knowing I would never hold her again, never brush her hair and pin bows in it, never sigh in disgust when she became a tomboy instead of a ballerina, never see her walk, run, fall, graduate, move out, go to college, walk down the aisle, that there would be nothing.....but a tiny box for my tiny girl, and a cold grey stone with her name, Skylar Lauren 2005, I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. And that is truly what it is to miss someone....when you know there is no second chance, train ticket, plane ride that will bring you back to each other and that heaven is a nice idea for some, but for the rest of us, living on earth is the only hell we know.

So tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all? Before they call your bluff and watch you fall? I don't know, but I'd like to think I had control At some point, but I let it go and lost my soul Sit tight, but the revolution's years away I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say So, I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite Oh! To have died that night, I realized it wouldn't last Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed Oh! To the west, you don't know what it is you're running from And everybody's laughing loud Your last chance to make your mother and your father proud (Streetlight Manifesto - Moment of Silence) //======================== I have challenged Myself to take 365 days of self portraits, this account is specifically for that purpose.

Flickr License Plate
Made by RamonkolB
Just after I left home, this car stopped in front of me at a traffic light near Belmont, MA, USA. (it's EXIF geotagged-- look it up on the map). Did some minimal editing (corrected the color balance, cropped a little) but the plate number is DEFINITELY NOT edited in... Interestingly, I had my camera on the passenger seat as I was taking it to work to make some screenshots of a phone screen we're working on. I had to brake rather hard and the camera started to fly... I could just grab it before it left the seat. And at that moment I realized what the license plate of the car in front of me read.... Call it luck! BTW: I tried to get a close look at the person driving the car, mostly because I was extremely curious who'd get a FLICKR license plate. It was an older lady, with curly grey hair. Not really the type I'd imagine driving around with FLICKR license plates! But then again.... (there's a Dutch expression that comes to mind: silent waters have deep bottoms)
Bathroom... 98.9% near done
Made by juhansonin
I dig this room. The next bathroom we design needs to be crazy dark or red or... way funky but still beautiful. While this is slick, it's super white and near-hospital-like. The Meta shower knobs were a compromise, and I shouldn't have bended. While they're fine, it's not exactly the best designed knobs for when your hands are foamy and wet. Things I love: * duravit sink + cabinet (took 4+ months to arrive from time of order) * toto water-saving toilet * dornbracht sink faucet + handle * duravit inset vanity w/lighting * floor tiles * thermostatic valves in the shower Stuff that's so-so: * Meta knobs * Too many knobs in shower * tub design - while it's one of the better, deeper tubs for the space, we could only accommodate a 5' tub. It's near impossible to find a fab tub that size. Next time, with more room we'll consider something quite round, tall, and elegant (a la Wet or Duravit Happy D). * window design (see comments below)
1/5: Tetrahedron (full model of interlocking tetrahedra in progress)
Made by blackdenimgumby
This is part of the origami star project (5 intersecting hollow tetrahedra). Instructions and finished project diagram here: www.merrimack.edu/~thull/fit.html Knowing what I now know from having built this first tetrahedron I would have chosen a thicker paper. However I will finish the other four using this anyway. Tetrahedrons are the simplest 3d, sided figures, much as triangles are the simplest sided 2d analogs. Not having studied math in an official sense for 2 years I tentatively summarize the following *conjecture*: Given a sided figure in dimension n, where a side is an (n-1)-dimensional building block of that figure, the simplest such sided figure in that dimension (n) has n+1 sides. This works for n = (2 | 3) as suggested by the triangle and tetrahedron examples. Then again, what does a 4-dimensional shape look like?
my HAM plate
Made by RamonkolB
My HAM Radio plate. It's a bit of a rare DX combination as far HAM Plates go. - It's an official HAM plate, you can see that because it contains a thunderbolt sign after the digit; - It was issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a US State - The HAM Radio call is *not* a US callsign, but a callsign from the Netherlands I obtained this plate showing the Mass. RMV my reciprocal license that was issued by the FCC based on my original, Dutch license. Note that I still hold this callsign, but that I obtained a US Extra class license as well: KX1T. Therefore, although it's legal for me to use these plates to drive around in my car, I can no longer use the callsign for HAM Radio while in the USA. I continue to use PA3EUG when I'm abroad, in the Netherlands or in any of the countries where Dutch licenses are accepted. --... ...-- -.. . .-. .- -- --- -. --..-- -.- -..- .---- -
June 11 2005 - Ruby Red Sangria
Made by Peter Kovacs
During the ongoing heat wave, this vat of freshly made sangria is one of the few things that can cool us off. Ingredients * 2 oranges, washed and sliced. * 2 lemons, washed and sliced. * 2/3 cup sugar * Juice of 2 oranges * 1/2 cup Triple Sec * 2 bottles red wine -- We used 2 very inexpensive bottles of Merlot, that ordinarily we wouldn't drink. But the added sweetness makes it very palatable. Preparation * Mash the orange and lemon slices a bit with the sugar. * Add the orange juice and Triple Sec * Stir in wine, let sit a few hours, preferably overnight. * Add a few handfuls of ice to the pitcher before serving. Original Recipe: Cook 1.0 p174
My mini health dashboard
Made by juhansonin
GoWear Fit's mini dash with aggregated data over the past 2.7 days. The good: getting REAL data about my health, exercise, and food consumption, seeing trends, changing my eating behavior The bad: doesn't work in FireFox (Safari only on OS X), no open API to the data/device from BodyMedia, web service UX not lovely (party like it's 1999), dashboard design not blasting the truth... and I'm now an intermediate user and still not SEEING the key data, $12/mon for a web-based service (should be $40 for life or they pay me to make my data public), no local cache of the data Maybe it's time for a Juhan redesign.....
My health graph
Made by juhansonin
This chart isn't a see it + know it (at first encounter). You have to live with it for a while to recognize the patterns. While it's not quite there yet, there is some goodness here. Some metrics you want low, some you want high... and that's fine for these charts when you use them over time. Then you'll have recognizable patterns to overlay on your graph, like diabetes, and you'll see whether your profile measures up to a typical diabetic profile... Now consider you're a nurse or doctor seeing today's patient list; who is at risk? Where are the pain points. What am I seeing over and over again? Etc...
Beating the tuesday heatwave at the Arlington Reservoir
Made by sandcastlematt
It was 94 degrees in my apartment and I was getting little work done on the master's thesis, so I took the bus up to the Res and spent the next three hours in semi-submerged sandcastle bliss. Wish I could do this everyday. I have to admit that I broke my own rules for this castle: I brought some twine from home to hold the scaffolding together. Was it worth it? Not sure. Despite the cheating, it was still pretty fragile - the little guy up front was pretty elaborate, but totally collapsed. I didn't have time to really rebuild it - and same goes for the top point of the big A shape guy in the back.
The Red is Peeking
Made by Tailer Ransom
A close up of a beaten up metal wall in Arlington Heights. I'm leaving for pre-cross country camp tomorrow for about a week, and then school starts up a couple of days after that. I'm generally pretty busy during the school year so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to upload. Thank you everyone for all your nice comments and messages! This will sound ridiculously cliche, but I honestly can't even remember who I was 3 weeks ago. I see so many new things everyday that I never even considered before and I've never felt so alert to everything around me. Thank you all for making my summer so awesome!
NextGen is unusable
Made by juhansonin
Got a walkthrough of NextGen EMR. It's unusable. It's disgusting. Mindboggling horrid usability, aesthetics and visual design, behaviors, keyboard actions, screen real estate management, etc. And no undo. No wonder the practice has completely abandoned the service just 6 months into getting it (for $500k). The office has gone back to paper. It was the least happy part of my career in medicine while I had to use NextGen. - interviewed doctor. The tricky part = translating the work flow of the practice (the human processes) into a wonderful, delightful, human and digital-friendly process.
for ebonee
Made by .Leili
The times are nightfall, look, their light grows less; The times are winter, watch, a world undone: They waste, they wither worse; they as they run Or bring more or more blazon man’s distress. And I not help. Nor word now of success: All is from wreck, here, there, to rescue one— Work which to see scarce so much as begun Makes welcome death, does dear forgetfulness. Or what is else? There is your world within. There rid the dragons, root out there the sin. Your will is law in that small commonweal… Gerard Manley Hopkins
Basics of design.mitre.org
Made by juhansonin
Uber simple, design.mitre.org site. 1. It's way too Juhan-centric. Uggh, my mug shot... but it's been public released. 2. We'll upload comps/pix/service screenshots to the ODG flickr site (and not link to my set). 3. We're adding two things: 1) our real-time RescueTime dashboards (for 4 of us) so folks can see what we're actually spending time doing in front of the machine and 2) the Open Design Manifesto. 4. Links to sourceforge/code repos, presentations, and patents coming soon. Suggestions, ideas? Pee away!
Blox divider
Made by juhansonin
A quickie prototype for possible dividers in the studio. It's such an open space and the desks are uber modern... which exposes all the power cords and ugly equipment residue. It also grounds the tables (which already feel like they're floating off the ground). Just a prototype. Cool concept... I still would like to see the desks. TBD. Thanks to Sarah Krieger for her great interior design insights. Her micro consulting gig with me was a monster help. Her service: www.theroomtherapist.com
Stunning Samsung Home Device
Made by juhansonin
I just hooked up this brand new Samsung laserprinter/scanner/photocopier (SCX-4500). It is fantastic. Sits right behind my iphone for service loveliness. 1. Install was dead simple. 2. Acts like a stand-alone copier... one button and viola! 3. One-touch scanning... auto save to desktop. 4. On-panel display is beautiful... big blue dots (like the Meta type face arrow) and a sleek blue light follows the copy action. 5. It's super quiet. 6. Form factor tiny. 7. Sexy x5. It's right behind Alec Baldwin on my to-do list. What a bargain at $299.
Spy Pond
Made by Justin Smith - Photography
That's really the name of the pond. I think this is Medford, not really sure. It's about a half-mile north of the Alewife station. EDIT: Okay, apparently this is East Arlington. Great sunset tonight. I'm a bit behind on checking up on contacts, but I promise I will sit in front of the computer all day tomorrow and catch up on everyone's stuff.

Scaffolding for 'Let data scream'
Made by juhansonin
Uber lightweight (in terms of story, data, and viz) outline of 'let data scream'. In future revs, I'm using the US budget data for all of the examples (from start to finish). I'm also redesigning the Death+Taxes infographic using the tenets... and then doing a micro survey during the class... a side-by-side comparison to see the huge difference in 'seeing the story'. UPDATE: The more I look at this, the more I cringe... this is 101 stuff and needs to be nuked.
