I try to make eye contact to say hello, good morning, and nothing. The disconnect there bothers me, and that’s going to get nothing but worse. I’ve got my iPhone and GPS and news anytime I want it. But my mindset is: I’m not married to this thing. I don’t have to look at it every five minutes. I can kind of use the technology for what I need. I feel pretty balanced that way. And I’ve made a conscious decision not to go with all the social-media stuff, because it takes up too much of my time. I can’t read a book. I can’t sketch. I can’t go to movies if I’m constantly tweeting somebody.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.7dvt.com/2012jerry-manock-mac-designer">Jerry Manock</a></em>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/17251433713http://blog.edmundito.com/post/17251433713Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:57:53 -0800<a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/01/30/145930229/quiet-please-unleashing-the-power-of-introverts">Quiet, Please: Unleashing 'The Power Of Introverts' : NPR</a>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/17142691228http://blog.edmundito.com/post/17142691228Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:54:31 -0800<a href="http://www.raphkoster.com/2012/01/20/narrative-is-not-a-game-mechanic/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed: RaphsWebsite (Raph's Website)&utm_content=Google Reader">Raph's Website: Narrative is not a game mechanic</a>: <p>Aside from the main argument, the article shows a decent method for how to analyze what the player is asked to do and what the game gives back in return.</p>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16244147831http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16244147831Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:37:05 -0800“Hollywood appears to have peaked. If it were an ordinary industry (film cameras, say, or typewriters), it could look forward to a couple decades of peaceful decline. But this is not an ordinary industry. The people who run it are so mean and so politically connected that they could do a lot of damage to civil liberties and the world economy on the way down. It would therefore be a good thing if competitors hastened their demise.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://ycombinator.com/rfs9.html">YCRFS 9: Kill Hollywood</a></em>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16243090551http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16243090551Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:18:22 -0800<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35109750?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.creativeapplications.net/objects/still-life-unity-c-objects/?utm_source=feed&utm_campaign=rss-mo-more&utm_medium=rss">Interactive Still Life by Scott Garner</a></p>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16242551132http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16242551132Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:08:50 -0800“Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me … they live in their heads. They’re almost like artists. In fact, the very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone …. I’m going to give you some advice that might be hard to take. That advice is: Work alone… Not on a committee. Not on a team.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/15/opinion/sunday/the-rise-of-the-new-groupthink.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all">Woz (quoted in the article The Rise of the New Groupthink)</a></em>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16106748514http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16106748514Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:54:17 -0800<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xKu2de0yCJI?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/in_brief_saul_bass_bell_system_pitch.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20ucllc/brandnew%20(Brand%20New)&utm_content=Google%20Reader">1969 Saul Bass’ Bell System Pitch</a></p>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16100968627http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16100968627Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:20:42 -0800<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35015678?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=c8deec" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vimeobuzz.tumblr.com/post/16023142435/pbs-off-book-the-evolution-of-music-online">vimeobuzz</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>PBS Off Book: The Evolution of Music Online</strong></p> <p>Featuring Blake Whitman</p> </blockquote>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16051054287http://blog.edmundito.com/post/16051054287Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:41:18 -0800<a href="http://whatgamesare.com/2011/12/the-four-lenses-of-game-making.html">The Four Lenses of Game Making</a>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/15459429128http://blog.edmundito.com/post/15459429128Sat, 07 Jan 2012 09:58:59 -0800<a href="http://gamasutra.com/view/news/39193/Gamasutras_Best_Of_2011_Top_5_Social_Games.php">Gamasutra's Best Of 2011: Top 5 Social Games</a>: <p><em>The Sims Social</em> is on that list, and I did some work on it!</p>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/14522180831http://blog.edmundito.com/post/14522180831Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:12:31 -0800<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jgvx9OfZKJw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://blog.edmundito.com/post/13764031977http://blog.edmundito.com/post/13764031977Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:34:25 -0800“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
