<br />
<i>_Here's the itinerary for those who would like to do it:</i> <br />
* <b>DAY 1</b>-The Descent: Arduous hike at South Rim on the Hermit Trail (Day 1) @ ~7mi with an elevation drop of 3,650'. Camp at Hermit Creek (plenty of water here and a swimming hole). <br />
* <b>DAY 2</b>-Super cool campsite: Easy hike across to Monument Creek (ample water here) @ 4mi. <br />
* <b>DAY 3</b>-Watch out for radioactive water here: Arduous hike across to Horn Creek (No water here, stock up on water the previous night) @ 8mi.<br />
* <b>DAY 4</b>-The Ascent: Arduous Hike out of the Canyon at Bright Angel Trail @ 7.1mi with an elevation gain of ~3,000'. Avoid doing this in the sun at all cost! Water refuel every 1.5mi.<br />
<br />
<i>_Reflections:</i><br />
* Mac&Cheese still is awesome while backpacking.<br />
* 3L capcity of water is just right (although not enough for being lost/stranded).<br />
* React faster next time I step next to a rattlesnake. (nothing bad happened, whew)<br />
* Great idea to not bring a tent, horrible idea to bring a 15deg sleeping bag.<br />
* Train more to handle the descent/ascent.<br />

Got a chance to test the waters out this week. It resulted with good news today. I hope everyone is starting out the year strong and staying warm because the hog in the ground said 6 more weeks of winter. <br />

Theme of this year seemed to be the big push for 3D TV's. I'm curious how the masses will respond for 2 reasons: a) expensive b) requiring users to wear 3D glasses. Plus, how will media be presented- on it's own 3D TV channel? Audiences can't view the same content w/o the glasses. Should be interesting to see. <br />

All the blue ambiance was befitting for technology- cool and cutting edge. As a way for a company to differentiate itself, I wonder how having an overall red or purple glow would have been perceived. The booth would have definitely stood apart. Although red = red light district connotations? Might be creepy, too. Scratch that thought.<br />

Pictures don't do this justice. Those cubes were constantly moving throughout the screen like a steady wave, undulating up and down. Each cube represented news that was being streamed live to this screen. Touch one of the cubes and the picture and highlight of that news would pop up. <br />

A breath of fresh air (minus the fishy smell) when I stumble across good design in an unlikely spot. I appreciate simplicity for utilitarian purposes: clear, concise, and still nice to look at.jon.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09911033589647959625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226559586913768969.post-50690362411483800452010-01-04T12:34:00.000-08:002010-01-04T12:43:25.449-08:00Rapid PrototypingFor all the blank stares I get when I talk about 3D printing with family/friends...<br />
<br />
<br />
At work, I had the opportunity to use a 3D printer as part of our design process. This was another example of Cisco flexing its corporate muscle as they had the budget to print multiple iterations of a model to check the design in physical form. The result can confirm what we thought made sense or make us realize that what we initially presumed as ergonomic to be awkward to hold.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell:<br />
It's an expensive process but invaluable (in terms of refining for the final design) to see your design as a true to scale physical form. <br />
<br />
During the refinement process, making slight changes to proportions and lines make all the difference. Printing out new iterations after each phase of refinement can save some headache later in the back end of finalizing the product for manufacturing. <br />
<br />
Time to geek out:<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNKiiLKtvM0o1Qa2bcEAwcCq83hMWEwA3xv0JP3kqRSiohtkng44uyc-BX58KrpBPVZmxFxjpwpgLLAkZ_8PikRh0eWPi0V17tmmszN4DHGy1DTOuDH4GPdc2JeXXNRfTBnh7TNWXBBEk/s800/catalyst_web.jpg"/><br />
So after sending off the 3D data to the printer, a software calculates how to physically construct the file. I've learned that standing a product up yields a better appearance.<br />
<br />
Here's a screenshot after I've configured the model to stand up. It is not solid in the middle, imagine a lot of tiny cross beams inside. The red color is the actual model and that light purple represents the support material that will hold up the actual model <i>(see pic 03 below)</i>. <br />
<br />

<b>_01</b> The printer! It's not a small guy at 6'+ tall. Just like an inkjet printer, a nozzle goes back and forth printing it out inch by inch but in 3D<i>(Printing these models below took 10+ hours due to the size)</i><br />
<br />
<b>_02</b> Grey = the actual model material / Brown = support material<br />
<br />
<b>_03</b> The result when finished printing: so that brown support material is what...um... supports the physical model while its solidifying<br />
<br />
<b>_04</b> The models from pic03 gets dipped in this chemical bath to dissolve away the support material with the help of heat and sonic waves (it buzzzzzs). <br />

Although I avoided the malls, this has definitely been one of the busiest xmas/new years ever. The triple headed spear of work, a package design gig (more on this soon), and moving out of Long Beach all boiled down to not much time off. I'm finally getting some time to just relax and I'll start it off by making a post. <br />
<br />
This year has been alot of analyzing and reflecting. My conclusion is what my Dad has always said, "Keep life simple". Some big things coming down the pipeline- time to break in 2010 properly.<br />
<br />

At work, I use a Logitech LX5 laser mouse and keyboard. They are functional and ergonomic- all I could really ask for. If it had been up to me, I would gone with a corded keyboard + mouse. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Why use corded when it looks so much cooler to have a wire-free desktop?</b> <br />
<i>Because I hate replacing batteries:</i> it's inefficient, expensive, and not in line with that one popular movement going on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_t8OWaWk0JJQ/SyFvgpX_9XI/AAAAAAAAAvg/PMHhTy1aNJ8/s800/battery.jpg"/><br />
The mouse uses 2x AA batteries. One day, there was a pop-up that "my batteries are critical" and to replace them. As an experiment, I waited it out to see how long it would take for total battery death. It took <b>4 WEEKS</b>. WTF, Logitech? <br />
<br />
<br />
Why not alert the user at 5% of batter life?<br />
<br />
<br />
It took ~3 months of constant Mon-Fri usage to get to this point. I wonder how many batteries are prematurely replaced when there's still life in them <a href="http://greenupgrader.com/4496/energy-seed-lamp-runs-on-expired-batteries/">(this is a great solution to that problem)</a>. So at about 25% battery life, Logitech's driver kicks in to alert the user it's time! <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Are batteries more likely to leak when they are completely drained?</b> <br />
<br />
<br />
I just did a quick Google search and the answer is... yes! Apparently, using the battery gradually wears out the metal in it- eventually causing the internal chemical reaction to leak out (i.e. leakage in flashlights). Even though if an user disposed of batteries at 25% life to prevent leakage, it only delays the process. I don't know what happens to batteries when they are "properly disposed of" but I bet that most people just throw away their batteries in the trashcan.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion:</b> Avoid disposable batteries. Utilize alternative and more efficient methods of obtaining power for devices. I have never talked about batteries to this degree...jon.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09911033589647959625noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226559586913768969.post-82192640032060402362009-12-06T09:14:00.000-08:002009-12-06T09:23:42.438-08:00Teaser Portfolio Ver 2 Draft 2Inspired and motivated by <a href="http://blog.wanken.com/2009/09/23/frame-by-frame-the-helly-hansen-annual-report/">WANKEN</a>. Beautiful design: I appreciate his level of presentation and the way he documented his process. Using only the photography he shot was another aspect of dedication that makes his project really stand apart. <br />
<br />
I'm still conceptualizing on how to transition this blog into a design blog- please bear with me as I figure this out! I have not moved on to the physical format of my portfolio but this is the latest iteration of my 2nd version of my teaser portfolio that I'll be emailing out in search of an industrial design staff position. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The Objective:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
1_To entice employers with a glimpse of my teaser portfolio <br />
2_Get contacted from a design firm that they want to setup an interview <br />
3_Show the entire portfolio at this point and verbally walk them through it<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Background:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
There are so many ways to do a portfolio. I only have 5-10 seconds to kick down the door and grab their attention without being able to talk to them (imagine having to browse through 200+ of these in order to fill a position-- I once heard 75% are absolute crap, 20% are decent, and 5% are drop dead showstoppers). Some stiff obstacles but I love the challenge. <br />
<br />
My strategy was to concisely showcase my process of how I reach a solution. There are 3 projects in here and each one is meant to show a different skill. At the moment, even though it took tons of editing to boil it down to what it is now, it still needs to be even more concise. I'm still figuring out how to do that. There's also a last page that I'm currently designing that will visually communicate more of me as a person that an employer can't get from looking at a portfolio and resume. WHEW!<br />

Although only for a couple of days, this was a big deal for me since I didn't get to go backpacking this summer. Off season just started on the islands so they were all winding down for winter.<br />

You'd expect pictures of the Greek beaches but at this point, I stopped taking pictures and just became a beach bum. <br />

Greece (reflections):</b><br />
_only need 1-2 days for Athens<br />
_enjoy 95% of your trip on the islands<br />
_taxis are really cheap <br />
_rent a quad or scooter for 20 euros and explore the island you're on<br />
_eat more Greek foodjon.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09911033589647959625noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226559586913768969.post-89084630089557068562009-10-24T23:32:00.000-07:002010-01-06T00:06:17.028-08:00Greece (wedding is a go)<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_t8OWaWk0JJQ/SuPpokM6n-I/AAAAAAAAAkg/mYFn8hkFd9k/s800/4005234654_5b7378d93f_o.jpg"/> The newly weds!<br />

There was a Greek trip not too long ago- mainly of which involved Jess's brother Simon's 1/2 Australian 1/2 Greek wedding on an island. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw">Finally met her family</a> and enjoyed some amazing Greek hospitality. <br />
