Simplicity: And as we spent those last few moments of summer, looking out at the blending of sea and sky, I realized it was a color I knew very well. The softly faded, essential blue of a well worn pair of pants ... my favorite pair of soft, baggy jeans.
I got this with another pattern and wasn't going to keep it, but I kind of like it. I might use it for a winter housecoat.
"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail".

To play like a child. Why is it the older that we get the more cynical we become. What once was so much fun, we now look down upon with contempt and indifference. All because it is too simple. We have this unquenchable thirst for complexity. I had my camera out while a groups of kids were running around having the time of their lives with bubble. Their squeals and shouts of joy were unmistakable from quite a ways off, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to grab some fun shots. It just reminded me how much we have conditioned ourselves to need complexity, newness, something big and better. In our quest to experience any and everything we have inadvertently sucked all the joys of our life that are not newer or more intricate.
Sometimes I wonder if our greatest blessings of wealth and sophisticated technology really are also curses un disguise. an interesting thought to ponder, maybe even a bit hypocritical as I ponder while I shoot with my newest piece of technology to take pictures with... hmmmm.

Do I need to say anything? Look at this!
I've no idea how one sits down in it, but with that sort of design, does one WANT to sit down?

Russ Miles and David Dawson came to Skills Matter and gave a one day workshop on how to inject simplicity in software. Working in teams, delegates created their code to navigate a real world AR drone (without crashing it!), learning how to break down a problem and tradeoff for the right values in Architecture, Design and Code. How to create the right number of tests to build the right level of confidence and how to enable Real Application Agility through Simplicity.
You can see the SkillsCasts (film, code, slides) of the day at: skillsmatter.com/event-details/home/russ-miles-practical-...
