Pancake Art for Pancake Day

jeremyscheller — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:34:39 +0000

Apparently, in Britain (Forgive me, I may have this wrong), In order to rid the house of Lenten temptations, the day before Lent is called Pancake Day, in which you take everything out of the cupboards and spread it on a pancake. I’ve participated at The Lacey’s House for the last few years. This year, I’ll be flippin’ cakes as well.

I may go crazy like this collection of Pancake Art.

This is bananas!

Just happen to be googling myself…when I came across this link to a picture of some work I had in this Minneapolis Foundation Art Gallery.

It’s really funny.

It was a show for commercial designers and the art they do on the job and off the job. Those bananas were the first painting I was ever really proud of. There’s also some business card and logo designs that you can’t make out well in the photo…

I just think it’s hilarious that this stuff still lives online somewhere…

My GodSister-in-Law Kati was in Southeast Asia. I didn’t know she was so crafty with a camera. Check out the photos.

Leopard: Feature Love: Quick Look

The single greatest improvement to an operating system ever.

I don’t even open half the programs I used to.

If I need some info from inside a file, I just highlight it and click the spacebar. I can see full files from Word, Excel, Images, Pages, Keynote, Powerpoint, whatever….All without ever opening up the applications.

Quick Look is better than sliced bread.

The Art of Innovation – 5 Step Process

jeremyscheller — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 05:53:14 +0000

I’m currently reading “The Art of Innovation“ by Tom Kelley.Tom and his Brother David are head honchos at IDEO, America’s Leading Design Firm.
Through the years, they’ve developed a simple strategy for unleashing innovation at IDEO. It boils down to this:

UNDERSTAND – not only the market, the client and the technology, but also the perceived constraints on the problem.
OBSERVE – Real people in real life. Not focus groups. Real people trying to tackle the problems you want to help them with.
VISUALIZE – The brainstorming session. If I was faced with the problem, what challenges would I be weighed down with and what are creative ways to solve that problem.
EVALUATE & REFINE – What works, what doesn’t, what confuses people, what they seem to like. Test, Modify, Retest.
IMPLEMENT – If the idea is great and you can’t implement it, than the idea is of little value.

It’s not rocket science. It’s just about having a managed approach to Creativity and having a roadmap to take the next big thing from beginning to end. Any thoughts?

One more time…Props for Caleb

It seems since I posted the last link to his site, he updated his portfolio a bit.

This is impressive: (It’s a slow download, but worth it)
