That’s right… I’m going to fail this year. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t really want to fail. Truth be told, it’s the kind of thing that completely messes with my head. Even contemplating doing so makes my uneasy, but I worry about the consequences of doing otherwise.

Wait a second… I’m getting ahead of myself. [...]]]></description>

I probably haven’t ever noted this, but these Random Observations are a running project for me. In ways, they prove a respite of sorts from my otherwise lengthy posts. As I observe some kind of a rule or occurrence, I make note of it as succinctly as I can. (Some I admit, are contradictory—as is [...]]]></description>

Engineers need to complete a certain amount of schooling, coupled with applied practice, before earning their &#8220;ticket.&#8221; After doing so, they gain increased responsibility as they&#8217;ve worked through a structured and rigorous training process. I want to make the case for similar training and accreditation for designers.

Professionals

Many professionals run through a comparable set of steps [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s awfully easy to profess expertise when you&#8217;re playing with someone else&#8217;s money. Perhaps that&#8217;s part of why we remain skeptical at smashLAB. There are some great new tools out there, but that doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s easy to build a brand. That’s why we take on our own projects: so we have some skin in [...]]]></description>

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. As we work to complete Speak Human, I find myself wrestling with footnotes, nitpicking over commas, and obsessing over every last detail. As a result, I&#8217;ve been a bad blogger. (Still, I think this is preferable to a bad bladder.) In the meanwhile, here are some [...]]]></description>

This is my hundredth blog post. I’m sort of surprised that I’ve managed to write this many. I&#8217;m even more surprised that people like you read them and take the time to post such thorough and intelligent responses. I don&#8217;t think ideasonideas can be called a &#8220;new&#8221; blog any longer and this leaves me thinking.

It&#8217;s hot at smashLAB today, probably much like at your studio. We&#8217;ve finally pushed Speak Human through its first set of hard edits and it&#8217;s getting closer to release, even though it has been delayed somewhat. Additionally, we&#8217;re working on a few new projects that will launch this fall. In the meanwhile, here are a [...]]]></description>

Last week&#8217;s post resulted in a number of lovely emails and positive feedback. Thank you for all of your kind words! Writing these articles is a lot of fun, but getting little notes from you makes it even more enjoyable! It&#8217;s a beautiful day here in Vancouver, and what better way to start it than [...]]]></description>

Things remain interesting around smashLAB. (Interesting is code for &#8220;really great and also really fucking hard&#8221;.) Lots of new lessons for us, including some that have taught us a little humility, which I&#8217;ll talk about in a future post. That being said, here are a few more random observations.

The past few months have been full of wild ups and downs. My wife has been privy to me coming home and looking like I&#8217;m going to fall down from exhaustion, freak-out completely, or dance on the ceiling. (Oh, what a feeling!) I&#8217;ve made note of some points for myself, and thought I&#8217;d share them [...]]]></description>
