numyum is Mustafa Alami. I am a designer and I live in San Francisco.

numyum is a sketch/narrative/archive/blog of ideas, life and birds. I post new and old projects. I will go back and edit posts with new content and update the date as life and events change. Also, I don’t write much. You are not going to find witty narrative here. I see images, pictures, patterns, diagrams and shapes.

My professional details can be found on malami.com.

Please comment on this post if you would like to contact me.

As of Feb 1, 2010 – I work for Salesforce.com as a lead interaction designer.

I work for Oracle Corporation, so I need to add this statement:

The views expressed on this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Oracle. The views and opinions expressed by visitors to this blog are theirs and do not necessarily reflect mine.

I have a new addition:

Not sure how long I will use it. I like the idea of tracking my weekend bike rides. Although, it would be nice if they include a simple tool that would auto log my mid-week repeat commuter bike miles. I have no plans to login and post on a daily basis. The miles would certainly add up.

I resolved to use three categories: art, design & random. Design is projects that have a specific objective/problem and a specific user in mind. Art is my exploration work. Random is commentary about random things. The nice thing about wordpress, I can change things later.

May 30 – I bought cssedit for mac last night. It certainly makes life easier in tracking what each entry is doing to what. I recommend it.

May 29 – So far so good. The hard part is sorting the css file and modifying it. The file has a complicated format to follow. The main screens are looking good now but the inside screens are a mess. I should start another entry about the topic.

May 13 – I am switching my site to a blog. The pros: site is hard to maintain, blog can stay fresh, ability to add things on the fly, ability to slot things in multiple categories, tag stuff, search content, easy to switch style sheet. The negative is that I cannot really customize things the way I really want. I want to put an interesting header on top. A best of image navigation scheme. The customization could happen as I figure tricks to do. The question is, can I make this my personal little space?
