Creating Passionate Users: Listening to users considered harmful?
http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/09/listening_to_us.html
Angry/negative people can be bad for your brain. Code like a girl. Ultra-fast release cycles and the new plane. When only the glib win, we all lose. How to be an expert. Micromanagement: the Zombie Function. The hi-res user experience. Mediocrity by "areas of improvement". Crash course in learning theory. Free Range Posts (open mic). Conversational writing kicks formal writing's ass. You can out-teach or out-spend. Subvert from within: a user-focused guide. Listening to users considered harmful? Parelli-...

The Tao of Chi. Wednesday, March 30, 2005. A night of celebrations. Party Number One: Alia and Zahran are getting engaged. Ah well, the party was really nice. met a lot of ex-ISLCians from university. One of people I met that day, and his wife, both friends of Heba, invited me to dinner someday. The man was so kind, he said, We both think you are really nice and would like to have you over for dinner someday . Aw! Party number two: Irena’s house (I think). Drunk Spanish Dude: You too are really, really.

http://esperanza.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
The Tao of Chi. Friday, January 28, 2005. After India and Basata, I've come back home finally. (come and home don't rhyme eh? Imagine if they did, then come would sound like comb - digressions digressions). Anyhow, I'm just very restless, as always happens when I have nothing to do, I'm filled with supernervous energy as if I have some really important task at hand, and writing is the last thing I should be doing. On the contrary, writing is the most relaxing thing hehe. Where is the paanwala? The guy lo...

The Tao of Chi: November 2004
http://esperanza.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
The Tao of Chi. Saturday, November 27, 2004. In India. Now, whatever comes of it, we both want to relax, and that’s what we’ll try and get done. Although, I’m so tense these days figuring that trying to relax is one of the most un-relaxing things to do. Need to get a masseuse to help me out! Posted by c @ 1:13 AM. Thursday, November 18, 2004. Here I am in a rage again,. Kafka said despair turns you to writing. I should bring back all those books I buried, and breathe/read through them again. Salam aleiku...

The Tao of Chi. Saturday, April 23, 2005. Meryam’s back. No more black holes in the sky. Blog I wrote yesterday:. That water helps you stay more focused. And I do think I really don’t drink enough. Went to the Indian talent show today, and it was fun watching the kids of yesteryear dancing and having fun on stage. I used to do that! Posted by c @ 8:12 PM. Thursday, April 21, 2005. At the bs space (blogspot ;) at wee). I miss my friends. :) and then i can whine about that too. I got a digital camera!

The Tao of Chi. Monday, September 20, 2004. I almost mistyped the l. worLd, and what a freudian slip. i have been reading too much freud/lacan/zizek for the literary theory exam. So i been feelin lonely lately. that's the l. word. :P. Here's something i had meant to post earlier:. Consider me drunk on too much wasted effort to grasp literary theory by wasting time on criticisms, analysis and futile Google searches. Now we have some perspective. Would I love her any less? Anyhow, is intellect overrated?

The Tao of Chi: August 2004

The Tao of Chi. Tuesday, August 31, 2004. Dinner at the Akers'. Mmm, is all I’ll say. Posted by c @ 4:52 PM. Thursday, August 26, 2004. See you again is so much better than 'God be with ye' (good bye presumably). What will she need the most? Money, I guess, but I don’t really have USD. And nowhere near a good enough sum to say ‘here ya go! I wish I could collect all my friends into one place right here, right now, and then there would be an extended awkward silence of mixed chemistries, of untold stories...

The Tao of Chi: February 2005

The Tao of Chi. Tuesday, February 22, 2005. You stole my words. These were the only two (creative) lines that I have written (but I have thought more) since I joined work the Saturday before last. You stole my words. You stole all my words. You stole my words,. You stole all my words. I'm learning a language and I do not wish to speak. I do not wish to speak. So maybe i should just shut up and not have spoken at all about it eh? Implication 1: You people are so lazy. Get a move on. Posted by c @ 9:22 PM.
