Projects: May 2006 Archives
Last week, I finished 37signals' Getting Real. Great read (yea, Steven Jackson, I know, I know). By no means should all they throw out be taken as gospel, but really, a great read. They provide real insight on the development process: what helps, what works, what hurts, and what will cause the dreaded spiral into nothingness. I'm thinking of framing pg 69 for my wall—Be An Executioner—which lays out a comical albeit brilliant breakdown and formula for successful ideas and execution. Much wisdom is dropped on the topic of creative development, productivity, management, even post-development—something that really doesn't exist... Basically a tech-start-up cheat-sheet. Go buy/download it.
Also, their blog is great.
Working on a mobile and web-based social/info app for white-water boaters on the Potomac River (MD, VA). Its pretty broken no, but should be functioning (at least in part) in the next couple weeks. Thoughts? Critique? All is welcome, no holds barred.

You might have noticed a pretty big gap in posts that last week of April. This was due, of course, to the end of semester crazy-time at ITP, and the lack of all things relating to time, not final projects... Or something to that effect. In any case, finals went well, though nothing is really finished. Should be posting more about those aforementioned projects, as they are still very much in various stages of development. And dangit, they will be worked on, if I have to sacrifice sleep and free-time forever.
To all you fellow ITPers who had things in the show, great job. Great show. And to all the graduated second years, good luck; all will be missed.
