You know what would be great, for that logo of yours that is somehow related to comic strips or comic books or “comic-book action” or humor or anything you consider zany? Would be if you took the name of whatever it represents, and put it in a speech bubble. You know! Like in COMICS!
NO! I’M SERIOUS! IT’S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!
Found via a new challenge (and a difficult one) at constrained.org, the Endless Limitations introduction makes some excellent points on restrictions and creativity. It makes a better argument for artificial constraints than I’ve ever been able to do, actually, and the way the site’s author (and the book referenced as an inspiration) applies it to education is equally interesting. It’s a whole new look, for example, on why I never get things accomplished without the extreme focus of a deadline, and yet why I don’t learn well when I cram.
Pretty much everybody I talk to at my job works practically next to me, in development or QA. The bad part is that never talking to end users or customers means I don’t have any wacky Stupid, Stupid End-User stories to tell on my internet journal (like everybody else with an internet journal). The good part… well, that’s pretty much self-evident.
