Happy Little… Snail?
My happy little snail!
What’s not to love about snails? They are perfect in every snail-ish way. There really isn’t much more I can say except looking at this should make you happy.

How not to choose a design assignment
So I told myself: I’ll do a design assignment. I’ll click the random button and do whichever on it gives me. So what do I get? The Spreadsheet Invasion. What the heck should I do with that? And how the heck do I do it? I though of that …

Spreadsheet Invasion– The Tale of a Flower
I saw the Spreadsheet assignment and knew I wanted to do it. I’ve never played with the colored blocks and never thought of telling a story in Excel, but I wanted to give it a go. Basically, what I did: I had to first think of something that would be…

I hate Excel
