Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
{katemoore.ca} As you may be able to tell by my use of an exclamation point in a title on this blog, I'm excited! After putting in quite a bit of time, my professional website is finally up. I've been dabbling with it for the last SIX MONTHS but it took actually getting into school for …
Do you know who Chip Kidd is? Probably not, since most people are not that interested in book designers. But, if you haven't seen this Ted talk, please watch it! Not only will it make you realize how fun and important book design can be, it will also entertain you. I was embarrassed to have …
{The most delicious lemon chiffon pie that a friend brought over for dessert one night.} School is now in full swing for me and frankly one of the last things I want to do after a day in front of the computer dealing with websites is to come home and blog. As a result, I'm …
As a city-dweller, I so rarely hear pure silence. (Is that an oxymoron?) There is always the noise of neighbours, lawn mowers, the fridge and the cars. So many cars. But sometimes, it's worth listen to the cacophony of tiny sounds instead of music, TV, the phone ... This afternoon, I've had some unexpected time …
{Deer skull and antlers I found while hunting with my dad two years ago that has finally made it's way to my apartment for some type of project. Macabre? Yes. Super rad? Most definitely.} This will be the first weekend in about two months that will be anywhere near normal. The last two months have …
{Beer, chips, tulips and a picnic to celebrate my last day of work.} This has been a weird week and I've attacked it with the aplomb of a sloth. The jet lag that returning from China brought on, is entirely to blame. Today was my last full time day at Echo Memoirs, where I've worked …
Though we only did a day trip to Hangzhou (an easy one hour train ride from Shanghai) it was one of the absolute highlights of the whole trip. We rented bikes from a service similar to Bixi and bikes around the giant lake that is in the city. It was a perfect day, with gorgeous …
We're back in Vancouver after our fantastic trip to China! The jet lag is trying to kill me, but I'm trying to take it in stride and enjoy the early mornings and a reason to watch movies in the middle of the night. Above are a few photos of the Beijing portion of the trip. …
We're heading to Beijing tomorrow but we've had a wonderful time in Shanghai! A few pictures of our trip so far. I'm having a really hard time picking my favourite meal so far but the pot-stickers above might take the title.
{New business cards! (If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you already know about these.)} This might be my last post for several weeks, since we're off to Shanghai on Monday. I'm so excited that I can hardly sit still today, despite the many, many things that we need to get done before we …
