SuttonsNest.com

Early October brings our first real dip in temperatures to Iowa as it almost got down into the 30s last night. That makes the coffee especially nice this morning but the transition into autumn is my favorite time of years, and always makes me contemplative as it relates to changes that have occurred over the past year, and what changes I’m anticipating.

This autumn seems to be a time of changing website functions, as SuttonsNest transitions back to a blog, as I’ve added SuttonDesignWorks.com to my portfolio as the “business” site. To be honest it isn’t much more than a hobby as learn more about agencies and the people who run them, but I’m having a lot of fun with it, and I’m enjoying having the blog back where I can share other thoughts.

Speaking of changes and things I’m eagerly anticipating, Apple’s October event shouldn’t be far off, often taking place on Monday or Tuesday in either of the last two weeks in October. Although we never know for sure what they will announce, one of the rumors I want most to come to pass is an iPad mini with an M series processor. That’s something I’ve been wanting since M series processors debuted in larger iPads. That would be a really fun change!

There’s always a lot going on this time of year, but I like the shortening days, the harvest here in the Midwest, the cooling temperatures, and the preparations for the winter, and I enjoy these changes.

I asked Copilot to generate an image for me that depicted minimalism, and this is what it came up with.

It’s a fun image and looks like someplace I’d like to hang out. LOL. AI is good at generating images of where I’d like to be or go!

I’ll leave this post because it’s got a featured image and therefore looks better in the blog roll, and I’ll talk a bit about minimalism.

Minimalism is to me more than just a way to decorate a house or a way to make webpages, to be honest, it can be like an entire lifestyle. There certainly is a lot that goes into it, that’s for sure.

It’s funny cause it’s a post about minimalism, but I’m trying to write a paragraph that’s longer than a couple of lines, but I want to see if I can make this post long enough so it will get truncated, and we’ll only see a portion of the post or make it a snippet. Anyway, I think it’s going to be fun to have a blog and maybe I’ll use it kind of like was intended.

It’s September. And on my calendar, that’s Fall. I think of Fall as September, October and November. December, January, February I think of as Winter, March, April, and May are Spring in my mind, and then of course, June, July, and August are Summer. Yuck.

Anyway, with the newly on-line https://SuttonDesignWorks.com, SuttonsNest changes again, and for a final time (he says knocking on wood and crossing fingers) hopefully.

As I endeavor to separate the personal from the professional, a little bit, or at least draw better outlines (LOL), I’m starting to blog a little bit again. Or maybe on-line journaling may be better, because I don’t care for it to be interactive necessarily or allowing comments, but being something, someone could follow certainly.

So, https://SuttonDesignWorks.com will become the “professional” or outward facing website, while SuttonsNest will become more like a journal. A blog as it was originally intended to be all those years ago.
