“Feel” Project Part 12: Knowing How Much To Do
Refining time. How to stay interested after a breakthrough? Knowing how much to do, how many pieces to keep adding, when to cut it off. The project can scale as large or as small as I want at this point really. Not entirely sure how to approach that. I’m going to keep adding pieces since…

“Feel” Project Part 7: Colors, Making Cuts, Memes and Such
I started a slideshow on Google Slide and put some placeholder images and text for different layouts along with some notes and variations for designs and font choices. Can’t think of a good font.

“Feel” Project Part 6: Looking for Glimmers
Here’s a PDF of the project: FEEL (October 18, 2017 Version) I would consider this a very early stage. This period of time is about sifting for the gold, the right tone, the right words, the right feeling. I don’t know where the gold is in this but I’m getting some glimmers. How do I know when…

“Feel” Project Part 5: “You can’t make a mistake”
“You can’t make a mistake” It’s time to listen to more Alan Watts. Though I agree wholeheartedly with Nick Tait’s comment on this particular video: “Why do people always put music to his lectures?
