someone in my building had a small kitchen fire last night, so i was on the phone to 911 at 5:45 this morning. there was smoke in the first floor hallway, and some coming out of the window of an apartment but no real danger - i got to see the firetrucks though, and that always makes me happy.
the 'guest lecture' deal went well yesterday.. i managed to crack a few jokes, and we filled up the whole class time. the kids had some good questions, some that i've never thought of like "what inspires [me] to design?" and some that were really hard to answer like "what's the hardest part of designing?". the class was at uw rock county, which is a commuter school. there were some smart questions in the class, but i think some of the kids were in 13th grade, if that makes sense.
all in all, i had a good time and feel better about the prospect of academia as a career choice in the future.
i'm going to eat turkey now.

what DOES inspire you to design? i'd be interested in the answer.
i knew you would be okay-- you've got the gene, you know! and yeah, you'll find that mix in every class, i've found, no matter where you go.
What IS the hardest part of design?
