I was sitting at Trident, the usual place for me to drink some quality tea and think about what to do with my week, when Michael Tseng (who was also an Interaction Designer at CP+B) and I got into a conversation about the latest trends (the social echo chamber, iPhone app sales and recent acquisitions [...]
Four years ago today I moved to Boulder.
Wow.
Why did I move here? I graduated college in Rhode Island, didn’t want to move back to Oregon. I threw a dart on the map, and it landed in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. I called my sister, who had been to Boulder once on a road trip, to [...]

1) Color It just seems off. The top blue and bottom green just clash. I do think the original color scheme [...]
See some nerds dancing.
Some sweet urban typography.
A reminder not to do phone interviews. If only I did that with BCBR.

I have decided to reread some Edward Abbey, Vonnugut and even crack the new Harry Potter.
and all I got was these bleeding eyeballs.
Wow is all I can say about this logo. Actually, I can say a lot more, but that is as positive as it gets.
2 groups should never be allowed to work in the design or public relations: The design team for not telling the client who [...]
I find that developers, designers, and people that do the easy stuff in businesses (marketing, project management) have trouble understanding what usability is.
