Month: September 2024

I asked Copilot to generate an image for me that depicted minimalism, and this is what it came up with.

AI is getting better almost daily, but I’m not quite 100% on board with it yet. I may explore that in other posts.

So I’m a mobilist, I’m into portability, I like to travel lightly, all of that encompasses minimalism.

Being a minimalist and a technologist means I try when I can to use things as much as I can the way they come out of the box. If I can avoid it I don’t care for 3rd party add-ons but just try to use things the way the designer intended them to be used.

This often requires some out of the box thinking. I look for solutions to things I need solutions for, but sometimes, when it’s going to be more of an effort to make the solution work the way I want it to, when I step back and get a wider view of the problem, it may be that what needs to change is my perception. Maybe I’m looking for a problem for the solution I have or want to put into place.

Sometimes I just need to back the car up and go down a different road where I encounter fewer things that require solutioning and can keep things simpler and more streamlined.

Simpler is usually better for me.

It’s September. And on my calendar, that’s Fall. I think of Fall as September, October and November. December, January, February I think of as Winter, March, April, and May are Spring in my mind, and then of course, June, July, and August are Summer. Yuck.

Anyway, with the newly on-line https://SuttonDesignWorks.com, SuttonsNest changes again, and for a final time (he says knocking on wood and crossing fingers) hopefully.

As I endeavor to separate the personal from the professional, a little bit, or at least draw better outlines (LOL), I’m starting to blog a little bit again. Or maybe on-line journaling may be better, because I don’t care for it to be interactive necessarily or allowing comments, but being something, someone could follow certainly.

So, https://SuttonDesignWorks.com will become the “professional” or outward facing website, while SuttonsNest will become more like a journal. A blog as it was originally intended to be all those years ago.
