Every morning I wake, I express my gratitude. I started this practice as a New Years resolution and I love it. And I love people who are willing to give their time and effort to mentor me. My dear friend, Michelle, gave me this book today and I’m so thrilled and thankful. I love you Michelle! You are “incomprehensible potential”!

Trying to get a local mountain conditions report and I’ve been positioned on the border of Italy and France. Interestingly enough, I’m a little French and Italian but last time I looked out my window I didn’t see the Eiffel Tower. So what’s up? More on bilocation and a quantum quandary test.

Are you joining me this morning?

Skeuomorphism: is the design concept of making items represented resemble their real-world counterparts and is commonly used in design fields such as architecture, interior design, ceramics, user interface (UI), and Web design. Your trash bin on your computer is an example.

“Skeuomorphism helped a generation through the learning curve of coming to grips with a digital era. But, it also began to hold us back. We became familiar with the concepts and they entered the language and our day-to-day lives but skeuomorphic design led to huge amounts of clutter on the desktop. They brought too many useless details to our computers which we no longer needed.”

However, the concept is making a comeback through smartwatches! More on skeuomorphism here.
