A Box Full of Oldies But Goodies.

Box of GoodiesI’m going through a move right now, and it’s been a good excuse to get lots of my old electronics sold, or organized. Looking at this box I feel a strange mix of nostalgia, and sadness. Little semi-functional monuments to joys past.

Did you ever wonder what kids and people played with 500 years ago? Those little car noises, and button pushes that come so instinctively today weren’t even possible. Not even a board game or cards? A slower time seems so infinitely boring, -but sometimes like a welcome change.

Anyway, yeah, I had an Atari Lynx. It was awesome.

Spend 10 Minutes Staring at Just One Page.

Find 10 minutes today to just stare at one of the pages on your site. Pick something other than the homepage, pick something obscure. Think, really think, about the page, and what it means. What it should do, and how well it does it. It’s amazing what a charging experience it can be to focus really deeply on minutiae. For an even more interesting challenge, -pick a 300px square anywhere in your app, or site to focus on.
