Fellow blogger, co-worker, and usability enthusiast Andy Gee has a blog category labeled “Personal” on his GeeWhiz blog (http://geewhiz.wordpress.com).  GeeWhiz is a blog devoted to the pursuit of quality communications. In recent days, my ambitious, friend has used his Personal category to describe what he calls a “brain attack“.   To be more precise, his brain attack was a stroke. 

Andy’s personal category was rarely used until now.  Now it is a place for his fans to go to get information about Andy’s recovery.  True to form, Andy has maintained his commitment to quality communication.  His entries are clear, concise, and presented in an interesting manner (which makes me wonder why he can do such a great job at communicating when in recovery mode, while the rest of us struggle with written communication when in perfect health). 

My favorite update from Andy describes his contribution to  “An Evening in December” the Saturday following his stroke.  His words reminded me that not only does Andy embrace quality in his communications, but quality in his life.

My thoughts are with Andy and his family during this time. 

(And by the way, I just heard a rumor that Andy is currently eating lunch in our company Cafe.  How wonderful that he is recovering so nicely.)
