The online refuge of Andy Pearson
It’s been 1 week since he last spilt his mind.

Yup. It appears that I’m an annual blogger. I didn’t even know that was a thing. Four years in a row, not bad.
I had a plan (the almighty patten) for this post. I’ve been drafting it on and off in my head for the past few days. I knew the date was approaching, I knew I had to sit here once again, figure out something to say and remember how to do Markdown links.
However, before I get to the main bit (fear the pattern) something rather interesting happened…

It’s been another year since I last posted here. Apparently I am now an annual blogger. Never my intention, but better than nothing.
Sitting down to write something feels completely alien. Only the significance of this date is keeping me focused.

It’s been exactly a year since I last posted here. A far cry from the posting volume I managed during my attempt(s) at Project52. I can’t even blame Twitter, I barely write there either.
I noticed a few weeks ago that this date was approaching, and I was hoping to find the time to put together something that represented the year I have had, but other things have got in the way.

As already mentioned I have left my previous job and have moved on to pastures new.
These new pastures also happen to be somewhat familiar as it turns out I’m going to be spending a lot more time in the study of the flat I already inhabit.
I’m going freelance, flying solo, founding a company, starting a business, or however else you like to phrase the risky exchange of a consistent salary in favour of more creative freedom.

My recent job change has got me thinking about the tools I choose to do common tasks, and how these can influence customer experience.
The clever amongst you are probably already doing this, but it dawned on me recently when I needed to produce a quick sitemap at work.

Marco Arment wrote recently about overdoing the interface metaphor. You should go and read it for yourself if you haven’t already.
The example he uses is the OSX Calculator.app which mimics a real-life object almost exactly. By definition then, it is also not as good as a piece of software designed without those limitations.
