Why 13 is My Favorite Number

My Shoe Calendar on Friday the 13th
I figured I’d squeeze in this post before the end of the first Friday the 13th of 2012 (the first of three such days this year separated by 13 weeks). Perhaps it’s my empathetic spirit, but 13 is actually my favorite number. It is partly because it has such a bad rep that I thought to make it a favorite number a long time ago. But while this is how it started, adopting 13 as a favorite number has grown to shade my perspective beyond this numeric empathy.
A Moment for my Diamond Earrings
Written on December 1, 2011 at 11:31 pm, by cct
Today I felt like wearing my diamond earrings. If you look at the instagram photo to the right, by diamond earrings, I mean well not really much of diamonds. But that doesn’t matter.
I bought these earrings myself. $25. Church silent auction. They’re butterflies – something anyone who keeps up-to-date with on this blog realizes is a favorite symbol of mine.
But despite the lack of cost (and let’s face it, almost lack of diamond), there’s something about being able to tell myself that I bought my first diamond earrings all by myself. There’s something in that message that I’ve always found empowering.
BarackObama.com’s Interactive Infographic
Written on October 20, 2011 at 12:08 pm, by cct
I received an email from Jim Messina of BarackObama.com telling me that
- They had passed the 1 million grassroots donors mark.
- 147,281 donors were from California.
- 43 donors were named Charity.
…like me! But best of all, it sends me to a great interactive infographic.
A few good points for online e-government/political outreach:
- User Personalization is pretty awesome when you want to make me feel specific in a group of a million.
- Infographics are a fun way to break down information. I love charts and GOOD.is Infographics anyone?
EyeGuide™ Makes Eye Tracking Affordable and Accessible (Video)
Written on October 17, 2011 at 5:18 pm, by cct
Grinbath, a developer of affordable usability and assistive technologies, just released a great overview video of their eye tracking product EyeGuide™.** The product that released today is a complete suite including hardware, capture software, and analyze software. Best of all, it’s under $1500.
Eye tracking technologies can be extremely expensive, making it inaccessible to those looking to broaden their understanding of user behavior and actions. EyeGuide™’s under $1500 price tag (with additional discounts for multi-unit, education, government, and non-profit) creates a more feasible and affordable reality for everyone. A few other bonuses:
