Five (5) Things To Ask Yourself

I have too much time before I head out for the night celebrating the new year so I’m going to answer a few questions brought up by many bloggers, but more specifically from Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users.

Free Culture: Presentation Voice Matters

As I’m just sitting here at work, avoiding the crazy wind storm that is causing anger veins to explode, I watched listened to this presentation on Free Culture.  Powerful. Compeling.
Firstly, I came across this presentation after reading Presentation Zen, and their recent article on Slideshare. Now, I’ve been through many PowerPoint presentations and downloaded countless [...]

Rise Again Marketing Video

Your friendly neighborhood friend landed a fun marketing video opportunity as one of the characters about something for something.  Ha!  Anyways, you have to be “of age” to watch it because of violence.  None the less, enjoy!  You really get to see a part of me I don’t share with many people.  So from this [...]

Ain’t it the truth? Seriously…
People ask me, “Ted, what’s the difference between ‘word processing’ and ‘desktop publishing’?” How the hell should I know? These are marketing terms, referring to packages set up for reasons that have nothing to do with conceptual sense or the user’s good.

By the way, I sent in my two week notice with Banana Republic. The end of my life with retail seems to be at an end. Somewhat bitter sweet.

Unified Theory of Design: Meaning In The Memorial

I stumbled upon an interesting read a few nights ago. I think this exerpt is very meaningful and portrays the importance in the subtleties of detail. Finding that clear relationship is inspiring and I finally understand the presentation of the Memorial. This is pretty appropriate considering this is Memorial Day Weekend. Have [...]

Traits of A Good Story

Lately my course has been emphasizing the power of storytelling and it is a skill that doesn’t get too much light these days. Seth Godin from Ode Magazine writes out some pointers and qualities of a good story. If you ever watch Steve Jobs give an announcement about Apple’s latest products, then you [...]
