We are committed to your success

There’s nothing quite like installing a piece of software and seeing more and more tiny green blocks on your screen is there?
I can’t say I miss the days of installing windows applications since I made the Switch(tm). I’ve gotten kinda used to doing the old drag-and-drop into my “Applications” folder.
In any event, I witnessed […]

Hang on tight, this year will see tons of great iPhone applications.
For aforementioned independent study project, we’re looking into using the iPhone developer’s kit as a quick and dirty way to prototype interfaces. I’ll let you know how it goes soon enough.

It’s pretty rare that I use this blog as a place to help campaign for a political candidate. If I did that too much, you might run away and never come back. But this time, it’s worth it.
I’ve been staying away from the […]

Always Communicate Thoughtfully Dogged Optimism

20Feb08

As most of my friends and some of my readers may know, design school [graduate school in general] is an incubated environment for me to test out new ideas with great people, every day.

Tall Matt’s trip

I know this doesn’t have much to do with design or the BOP, but that’s ok.
This post is a bit of an homage to my friend Matt, who I worked with in the Marketing department @ Cerner.
Matt decided he’d quit work and travel around the world for an entire year, to all 7 continents and […]

B2C2B2B and WW[S]JD? free consulting advice from a shareholder.
