Intel’s Look Into The Future (Video)

Thank you Gizmodo for sharing yet another interesting entry on bad ass technology. You have to admit, the scenarios illustrated in a elegantly stitched storytelling of vignettes is pretty frikkin’ cool. I’ve heard Intel is doing a lot of different kinds of work - yes they do more than just micro chips that [...]

Support “Start Good” Because It’s Cool

If you don’t already know, the discussion of healthier, cleaner, overall better decisions/actions is a big theme in the past year and will be for a while. There’s a part of me that is growing more aware of the discussions and the ways to really make a difference in at least my own life. [...]

Health and Wellness: The Ambiguous Beginnings

Starting new projects are always fun and mysterious. The open endedness really allows you to explore crazy ideas and really see what the rest of the team is thinking.

Home Stretch Baby

Gah! One more to GO!!!

February Randoms: Design, School and Ocean’s 13

School > Life
School has been hassling me for my attention and so far it is winning. The drastic contrast between working at my co-op just 2 months ago compared to where I am today with school is insane. While working in the “corporate” world afforded me routine schedules, meeting interesting people, and not [...]

Question: Would You Buy An Apple Cell Phone?

As Macworld quickly approaches, everyone (bloggers) is speculating the probability of an “iPhone” “ApplePhone.” Reports and analysis is coming in about what the feature set may include, various screenshots and mock ups. There’s no point in adding to the noise, and instead, I wanted to ask you a simple question:

Some questions come to [...]

I Was A GeeXBoX Interaction Design Candidate
