5 things making me happy
It makes me happy that my new website has upgraded accessibility features. Click the blue person-shaped logo in the lower left corner to toggle on/off features that make the pages more accessible. Even if you don’t need adjustments, consider taking a look. My research on the five senses has made me much more aware of just how much visual presentation affects our ability to take information in. For instance, I like the “Big Black Cursor”—which is exactly as described.
Because I visit the Met every day, it’s a big deal when a new exhibit opens. I love “The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England.” One fascinating little detail: in a famous portrait of King Henry VIII, he wears a chain of linked gold “H”s around his neck. Somehow that seems very modern to me.
As someone who loves to read, and who studies the five senses, I was enthralled by this description of an exhibit that highlights “the sensorial splendor of books.” I want to plan a trip to Oxford to visit it myself.
Speaking of books, I love beautiful cover designs. I was intrigued by the collection of award-winning covers featured in this article from “Eye on Design.”
Have you ever bought a book just because you loved the cover? I certainly have.
During our morning walk, Barnaby and I stumbled across this mannequin in a trash can. I found it strange and funny, Barnaby was not amused.
