Snail week! Yes, the kids are completely obsessed with snails at the moment. My wife bought a little terrarium and I went out into the woods with the kids to collect some snails for it – and now we have at least five new household members. My mom told me that I was obsessed with snails at age five or six, too, so apparently it runs in the family.

Speaking of kids: We also needed an invite for Johanns birthday party. I did not have much time to spend, so I set myself a very strict limit of one hour to come up with something.

Yes, there are a million things to improve – but I’m actually quite happy with how it turned out in that time. Putting arbitrary constraints on yourself is often quite helpful to generate ideas. Even (especially?) if it’s just a limit on time.
