Yummy! Lucy Kinsley’s Comic Chai DIY

Chai is one of my favorite drinks (3rd place to morning ritual of gargantuan cup of coffee + 2 shots and the evening Tazo Passion Tea) and ALWAYS makes me feel better about the world.

Often it’s more of a comfort than warm milk and a hot bath at night. Yes. I love Chai.

So finding this comic on how to make it at home made my day. I’m anxious to get away from the rainy day, snuggle in jammies and make it!

Huffington Post: To Newspaper Moguls: You Blew It

Excerpt:

“Your Google snits don’t even address your far more profound problem: the vast majority of your potential audience who never come to your sites, the young people who will never read your newspapers. You all remember the quote from a college student in The New York Times a year ago, the one that has kept you up at night. Let’s say it together: “If the news is that important, it will find me.” What are you doing to take your news to her? You still expect her to come to you – to your website or to the newsstand – just because of the magnetic pull of your old brand. But she won’t, and you know it. You lost an entire generation. You lost the future of news.”

In my job, the understanding is that I assume people don’t visit our site. I go where people are and try to communicate relevant information in a variety of ways: minor podcasts, twittering, updating facebook, connecting and socializing.

What most people still fail to understand: one person in an entire news organization can not meet everyone on their platform. Every person in the news industry is responsible for maintaining, updating and broadcasting information.

Print out Mockups

The physical comp, originally uploaded by juhansonin.

This truly offers a different perspective and visual experience than when looking at it on a screen for by a letter size sheet of paper.

As in drawing, sometimes you have to get away from the micro and look at the macro, squint really hard … to make sure that the composition really works.

In the future, I’ll probably print out massive iterations of a Web design to look at the over all page structure, rather than relying purely on monitors and 8.5×11 screen shots.

I'll spend my golden years in Dublin, Ireland

I would use Dublin as my base, to travel the rest of the world. I've always wanted to live in Ireland … or at least travel there. It's a beautiful looking city, steeped in rich (if not violent) history.

This is a great photo, and I didn’t even realize that it was taking place. From PodCamp Nashville #pcn09. A great event, that will have more posts to come.

My cat: LOLed

I had a momentary fit where I was playing with my cat and Photobooth simultaneously. Figured it was a prime opportunity to give my cat her 15 seconds of lolfame.
