It is hard to say what the physical medium for web design may be, but I feel that it starts with the code. I have a hard time designing a webpage without thinking of the underlying code and working with all the layers (html, css, js...) to do more than reproduce a design, but to actually bring it to life. This often means that things will change, evolve and generally result in a better design and more enjoyable experience. The web space is more constrained by standards and protocol, which mirror the physical challenges of material space, than tools like Photoshop or Illustrator.
I have been maintaining a steady meditation practice for several months. It is something I have become more and more attached to as I really focus on taking the time to have stillness. A good 20 minutes of simple quietude and deep breathing twice a day definitely helps me be more productive and more focused. The hardest thing is not thinking about all the things you have to do after this, and really just be still.
A practical and pragmatic source on meditation is Lawrence LeShan's "How to Meditate". I found it to be an informative read and provide a lot of places to both start and expand a meditation practice.
From time to time I will write about interesting meditation experiences or just ways of becoming more disciplined in my practice. http://www.putafonit.com if anyone is interested.
Seeing this post made my day, glad to see some love for good old peace and quiet in our busy lives.
