Punch Me in the Face

Blog by Rick0 comments

On the surface, this title looks like an invitation.  The words seem like an invitation to you to punch me in the face. Do you think I honestly mean it?   If you’re a formal leader, are you creating spaces for people to tell you what they really think, or are […]

Compliment Reception

Blog by Rick2 comments

You can respond in one of three ways when you receive a compliment. You can play the “humble” card and pass off the credit to someone else, or deflect back a compliment to the giver. You can respond negatively with cynicism and pessimism and just be a jerk about it. […]

Animatronic Cthulhu Costume

Blog by Rick0 comments

One of my dreams is to have a hyper-realistic Cthulhu costume to wear around conventions (should they return) and at Halloween.   I imagine a giant, air-conditioned suit that’s made out of a support skeleton and covered in silicone.  There’s monitors inside the headpiece that’s hooked up to cameras that allow […]

Slime Time

Blog by Rick2 comments

I’ve been really creatively inspired by Retroband’s most recent toy drop (which, I’m disappointed to say, sold out while I was entering in my credit card info), and while I’m thinking about creating my own slime toy, I started thinking back to all my slime toys as a kid. Teenage […]

Making yourself valuable 101, part 2

Blog by Rick0 comments

How much is a cup of coffee worth to you?  Say, a cup of Starbucks coffee, the medium size (I obviously don’t drink coffee), but they’re out of cream and sugar.   How much would you pay for this cup of coffee right now? How about at 1am if you’re trying […]

Making yourself valuable 101: pt 1.

Blog by Rick0 comments

Valuable gemstones are valuable precisely because of the extreme pressure and heat it takes to form them.   It takes skilled artisans and/or technicians to handle, cut, and shape them.  It’s not easy to work with them, so that rarity builds value. Salt water covers 96% of the planet’s surface.  […]

Fear Hunting

Blog by Rick0 comments

Fear is something we often talk about in hushed voices, holding it in the crypts of our minds, trying to keep it from reaching the light of day.   We live in a society where it’s uncommon for people to readily own up and confess their fears.   However, by unearthing the […]
