Yellows, Reds, Golds, and Grey Skies to come. . .

If you live in a four-season climate in the northern hemisphere, you’re seeing the change of colors begin. The days are getting shorter in ways that are easier to see and feel too. The colors are beautiful, but the also mean winter is around the corner.

• What do you like about fall? What do you wish you capture and keep?
• What part of fall makes you nostagic?
• What fall activities do you most look forward to?
• What about fall do you like the least?
• and if you’re in the southern hemisphere or where you have sun all year, feel free to give us a little perspective on what you’ll be doing while we’re raking leaves.

Oh, and bring example links to share — about fall activities.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Are You Wondering . . .

Creativity — it’s new ideas in established spaces. It shows up when we least expect it and won’t come when we need it. Tonight we’re wondering . . . about how to be creative.

• Do you wonder?
• How can we be more creative?
• What makes flow happen?
• Do authenticity and creativity go together?
• Is there such a thing as too much creativity?

ahem . . .

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

What Do You Find Attractive?

I know. It’s a problem. We all think we’re designers. On the other hand, we all know what we find attractive and comfortable — and what gets in our way. So let’s see how alike we are. Tonight we’re talking about web design:
What

• What blogs and websites know your socks off?
• What do you think are the qualities of a good design?
• What do you find major irritants?
• If you could tell designers one thing, what would it be?

ahem . . .

Oh Look!

Surely, you’ve heard of Shiny Object Syndrome — that behavior that allows any small change to be a distraction. Are you plagued by it? Shiny objects seem to be everywhere these days. Tonight we’re talking about shiny objects:

• Do you get distracted easily?
• Is it getting harder and harder to hold people’s attention?
• Do you think shiny objects are a bigger problem than they once were?
• Is shiny object syndrome only found on the Internet?

ahem . . .
