John Maeda!! Just standing in the same room--you feel smarter!

Last night I had dinner at the home of John Maeda, in Providence, Rhode Island.  If you are into graphic design...or claim to be a graphic designer, you need to know this mans work.  He is a pioneer and a guru.  He was the former director of MIT's media lab.  He is now the new president of RISD (Rhode Island School of Design)-- and his forward thinking is bound to shake the place up.   Peep this video from TED conference-- long, but interesting.  He is the man!

Why I am a Barack guy...

Barack bought IN-GAME ad's in EA's Burnout Paradise game.  Word has it he will also be in Madden 09 and Nascar 09 on XBOX live. Whoa! Any presidential candidate smart enough to buy IN-GAME ads in videogames, is a presidential candidate that gets my vote.   Okay, that is not and can not be the exclusive way to win my vote-- but it does show how clever and forward thinking Barack, and the team around him are.  NO nostalgia paralysis for the OBAMA camp! Savy.  And, according to a report by GameSpot, ads will appear in the battleground states of Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

Word has it that McCain also tried to buy ads in EA's Burnout Paradise game...but he came late to the party, on some "me-too" copycat shit. Who knows how true any of that is but I love this story...
