It has been a long time since my last post in 2023. It has just been really busy to say the least. I have been looking for a new physical home closer to the office where I work. We never had remote working during Covid. Then there has been travel for business and for pleasure. And the never ending yard work, which I hope to reduce or eliminate when moving to a new home.

In my last post I talked about gen AI and its impact on design. Here we are going on 2.5 years later and things have certainly changed. Many more voices are, if not saying design is dead, that it has been changed dramatically. I continue to dabble in it, but it has honestly not been a complete game changer like desktop publishing was in the 90s and the Web in the 00s. Yes, you can crank out designs at warp speed, but generally they are mediocre at best. They do not in any way really break new ground or solve problems on their own. Things are just faster… And as I noted as a probability in my previous post, the costs have been rising.
