…is an increasingly dumb distinction. Inspired by this tweet from Paul Isakson, which was inspired by this piece from Ad Age, I got to thinking about the general concept of ideas and executions. Paul says “ideas are ideas” and I’m inclined to agree. So many times, ideas get pegged as Online or Offline and then [...]

1) Facebook and Twitter are like hammers and screwdrivers. We need less posts/books on how to swing a hammer and more on how to build a house. 2) User Experience Design is both extremely intriguing and intimidating at the same time. While most types of design are concrete and finite, i.e. a the Mona Lisa [...]

I think Twitter has really changed blogging. I know it’s still a young medium itself, but I feel like I’ve seen a ton of “I’m not blogging as much because of Twitter” posts lately. The short-form stuff that we used to blog about now goes straight to Twitter. I’m not sure if it’s a bad [...]

Have had this idea for a little while. Thought I’d throw it out there to see if anyone is interested in doing something like this. With the economy in it’s current state, many game developers/publishers are either downsizing or closing their doors all together. However, indie game studios have seen some solid growth. Games like [...]

It seems like there’s always a fight for the best ideas. A war for intellectual capital, almost. It can get tiring trying to out-think everyone or to decide what everyone else would want if it was their choice. I think the answer is to take a step back. Sometimes the best idea is to realize [...]
