There are two places to find new ideas: places no one has looked before, and places where people have looked, but not hard enough. Kids are taught that big ideas come from the former, but the latter may actually be more promising.
I am grateful for the next generation of leaders -- the young people who are tolerant, creative, idealistic and doing the work to create the world as it should be. Who understand that hope requires action. From the Obama family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
Real thing that just happened to me: I quoted a client a rate, and the project manager responded with "how about we triple that, so it better matches what we've paid our male designers for the same work?" 1. This client is heroic. 2. Female designers: ASK FOR MORE MONEY.
My daughter went to a laser quest birthday party yesterday. She set her username to “a girl”. I asked why she didn’t pick ‘bloodstone’ or ‘skull-crusher’ and she said, “So every time I zapped a boy they’d know it was a girl that took them out.”
Proud Dad.
