Game Architects, Get Going! We can help people produce amazing results!

I used to feel uncomfortable when I heard the quote, "those who don't stand for something will fall for anything," because I always felt like the one who would fall for anything. 

The cool thing about getting older and having more and more experiences, you gain a conviction sometimes lacking in youth. Sometimes experiences can create warped, negative beliefs that will not produce great outcomes.  I think I have been quite lucky with my experiences, because I love my forming convictions and think that the more clarity I have with these beliefs, the more amazing the results could be. 

1.  Games can bring fun and laughter, but they can also produce more outcomes if designed carefully and results are studied and analyzed.

2. Adults are like kids, most need support and scaffolding. 

3.  So many people are underemployed and mismatched in jobs

3.  People can be super effective when they are in a flow and are interested in what they're doing

4.  We have so much unused human capitol

Inspiration for using these ideas in future game design: The Game starring Michael Douglas.

Zorro's corner,
Ahhhhh I'm kicking myself because I wasn't prepared.   My dad was going on one of his usual rants and I didn't have paper and pencil or a voice recorder, so I can't remember all that was said and know I'm not going to do it justice.  Let's just say there were lofty claims of his ipad design plans thirty years ago and references to books such as "How to Make Phone Accecories," (Not to be confused with "How to Make More Phone Accessories.") I vow to be more on top of it and get actual quotes (although I think he's on to me, when I asked him to rehash his thoughts, he laughed and said he wasn't going to be bated.  Soooo I'll have to step off and be patient.

Good advice from Skipper, one wise penguin "Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave."
