It’s late. 21.42 in fact. That’s some time after 9pm for those that don’t follow the 24hr clock. Tom is finding a workaround with the big printer to get some printed file dividers made. And putting together a first draft of the Workshop Toolkit we’ve been working on. Here’s a not-very-instructive photo of it.
We have to do that, be unrevealing, because we’ll be selling it in the future. In the coming month it will be turned into a fully working product for Re:Vision employees and into a box set for sale. So for now, we’re keeping the ingredients under wraps. The last two weeks have been full on. You must be somewhat bored of hearing that. But it is even more intense than the last time someone else wrote it here. In order to keep the pressure on, we’ve resorted to the “Cute Kitten” project management tool. As you can see below. Keela will explain it to you if you want. It’s a little morbid.
Earlier this month the kind folks behind Seabright Studios came to my Stanford graduate class to give a lecture. Gino, pictured gesturing below shared his wisdom and knowledge on UX to the class. It was brilliant, straightforward and naturally a little provocative. You can read his post about it and see his presentation over here.
Thanksgiving is here. The nation goes all tryptophantastic by eating a lot of turkey. It also signals, in business, the beginning of the end of the year in which suddenly things become stupid with people getting in touch, demanding to meet before the New Year, and there’s not enough time to wrap up the work, have those meetings and go to all the inevitable Holiday parties. I’m giving serious thought to closing the firm for the “sprint to Christmas” period so that no one here has to suffer the increased stress and workload that is about happen.
Because this post isn’t that interesting I really recommend you drop on over to Berg to read their latest post: Sometimes the Stories are the science… it is quite a delicious one from Matt Jones.
Finally, here’s the Central Chicken mascot that Tom created. Or is it a turkey? Who knows. Have a good one, if you’re giving thanks this Thursday. Otherwise, we’ll be back next week.
Woah, we just found a ream of paper already hole-punched. That’s like a time machine, saving us a massive amount of time and energy.
