I’m a LEGO geek. I grew up with LEGOs and rejoined the fold when my daughter was 6 yo and my son was 3. I recently purchased one of my white whales, the Batman Tumbler, which is proudly displayed in my home office along with various other sets, some on-loan from my son. (I also may have purchased The Razor Crest just to get “the child” figure. That might have...

I’ll be honest with you. I didn’t know who Syd Mead was until he died on December 30th. And now I see that he was responsible for the design work on Tron, Blade Runner and Alien. Holy crap!

I was quickly reminded by a friend of mine, who goes by the name of Brad Hampton and happens to be a Senior Digital Consultant for Shift Digital (and agency focused on the automotive market), that I may in fact be wrong.

There has been a metric-ton of news lately about Apple building a car and for the most part, I think that are people excited. I’ve also seen some confusion from consumers but to me it makes sense. (Disclaimer: I want one.) It makes sense for the following reasons. Cars are made of electronics – Back in the day, a person could fix there car if there was a problem because cars were...

Something that sounds smart but really isn’t
S
I was recently in a meeting where someone said they were now going to “design for mobile first and then simply expand to larger screens“. This is one of those things that sounds smart but the more you think about it, it’s really foolish. This leads one to believe that the only difference between mobile devices and...
