My name is Homer Gaines and I'm an Interactive Designer living in Southwest Florida who's fascinated with the cognitive processes behind web site design and UX.
When I'm not working on my various projects or speaking about design, I spend time with family and friends, write music, scuba dive, and travel.

A more direct path to the point I'm addressing that seems to be getting in the way of peoples compassion.

Despite the natural disasters that were the catalyst to the ever rising issues in Japan, there is a lot of "hate" and lack of compassion directed towards Japan as if they as a nation caused the earthquake and tsunami. Differences aside, people are in trouble far beyond the comforts of our own homes. Something I hope other's never have to suffer themselves with hopes that someone will lend a hand.
I didn't want to just design something for the sake of doing so but something that has meaning for me and those who I personally know affected by these tragic events.
