Objects & moments / Yoga

Same practice, different light.

A yoga practice in a sunlit room, with a seated stretch beside tall windows.

Some evenings, the room joins the practice.

Visited a friend. Even the coffee cup had a design opinion.

Another try, this time with a crochet needle.

Objects & moments / DIY

A qualified amateur.

Opened old thermostat with exposed wiring and electronics.
Open thermostat manual showing a diagram of the controls and a German explanation.

I replaced my old thermostats with digital ones. I consulted the manual, watched at least one YouTube video, and decided that apparently qualified me for the job. In retrospect, working with mains electricity probably deserved a little more respect.

Five fingers

Two feet in dark shoes with individual toe pockets, held out over a tiled floor.

Objects & moments / Everyday technology

Recommended for you.

Apparently, I’m in the market for a forklift.

A smiley-face sugar packet labelled Sugar Balls held beside a cup of coffee.

No further questions.

Objects & moments / Copenhagen

Going up.

Even the elevator had UX feedback.
