Images of Trust

Blog by Rick0 comments

When you try to graphically represent trust, what do you think of? Locks? Fences? Vaults?  It’s interesting that trust is actually often represented by the lack of trust. After all, if you truly trusted people, you wouldn’t need locks or fences or vaults. Trust is actually an open door, a […]

Slingshots

Blog by Rick0 comments

Slingshots are tools to help you shoot small things at great speeds and distances.  The interesting thing is that the purpose of the slingshot is to provide consistency (for aiming) as well as structure (elastic bands and a stable grip for resistance) for energy to be poured into.  What this […]

Making Mistakes

Blog by Rick0 comments

When you make a mistake, it’s tempting to try and blame someone else, hide evidence, or basically minimize the responsibility that you take for screwing up. It makes sense, as we don’t want to be punished for making mistakes. There can be real consequences, whether you’re not paying attention and […]

Accessibility

Blog by Rick0 comments

When I was redesigning a logo for my consultancy, my business partner shared with me a website where you get to see if the colors you’re using provide enough contrast for people to read.   It was a bit alarming to realize that we needed to change the color scheme on […]

Marketing Raffles

Blog by Rick0 comments

If you’re going to raffle anything off, or have a contest of some sort, when you’re running it, there will be temptation to give it to your best customer, or someone you know will sing your praises to the rooftop.   Whether you’re trying to cement a long-term contract or are […]

Sump Pumps

Sump pumps are motorized pumps that pull water from a lower place and move it to wherever the hose ends.  So even if your home’s foundation is subject to flooding, you can install one of these pumps to suck out the water and spit it out someplace that’s less damaging.   […]

Big Ears

Blog by Rick0 comments

When I was younger, I used to get teased as my ears seemed to stick out of my head much more than they do now. I’m not sure how my ear shape has changed, but my ears haven’t been remarked upon for decades now. Regardless, I’m now thankful for my […]

Autopilot

Blog by Rick0 comments

Autopilot, cruise control, automated scripts – these are all technological solutions to having to do things that don’t really require much nuance or thought. If you commit to driving 65 mph and you have open road in front of you, why think about how much pressure you need to put […]

The Thing

Blog by Rick0 comments

John Carpenter’s The Thing is terrifying for a lot of reasons. Besides the awesome practical effects and horrific creature design, the film centers on an alien entity that basically can assimilate any creature and take its form.

Skeletons
