LD #19 Is Go!

December 18, 2010

The theme: Discovery. Tonight I had my roller-derby written test followed by practice so I was unable to spend much time on LD. But I was thinking of theme ideas throughout the evening. I’m thinking of playing on a theme of Self-Discovery as the user moves through the stages of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs battling personal demons [...]

December 3, 2010

I’ve been fretting about my productivity a lot these days. Even as I type this post while on a bus to roller-derby practice I have a sense of loss over everything I could have produced with my waking hours today, this week, this month, this year.

Nicole has been going to Burning Man for many years now. She’s often spoken of the insanity and beauty that is this week-long tradition for 50,000 so-called burners. This year she was part of an army that built Syzygryd, a 2.5 ton collaborative music, light, and fire sculpture. She wanted me to see this thing [...]
