Too close to home for me. I
Submitted by AntiFed1791 on Wed, 08/08/2012 - 10:38. Permalink
Too close to home for me. I know this is what is coming, because most people won't face up to reality until they are on their knees with a pistol to their head. We've been warned repeatedly.
Some choose to ignore it or ridicule those delivering the message.
They killed Kennedy. They did 9/11. They imploded the world economy.
They turned our nation into a police state.
What are we going to do about it? Apparently we are just going to keep taking it. Until there is justice we will never know peace.
"The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that." — Alan Greenspan

I brought my 2014 Cadillac in for it normal service. I am extremely pleased with the way everything was handled and especially the fact that it was completed more quickly than expected. I work for a
very happy with delivery time.
I took my XTS in for service, prior to going on a trip. The service was completed within the estimate I was given. However, after driving about 10 - 15 miles, the tire pressure warning light came on,
Alex Cervantes always does a great job keeping me informed of the process and making sure all of my concerns with the vehicle are looked after.
The service advisors, Rinaldo and Kellen were prompt and quick with excellent courtesy.
My recent experience was actually at Casa Collision Center in Van Nuys, Ca. It was amazing and I only wish I could get the type of great service I received, everywhere I go. Otto is amazing as always.
Extremely easy and a fantastic location. I usually schedule my appointments around lunch time, drop the car off and walk to one of the many different restaurants in the area. By the time I'm done ea
I have a 2013 ATS. Staff was great. Loaner was fantastic and easy. Fast, prompt service. Done earlier than expected. 100? Complete satisfaction! Thank you!!!

Video Premiere: Here We Go Magic: "Collector"
By Tom Breihan on May 12, 2010 at 10:45 a.m. EDT
This video, from director Nat Livingston Johnson, gives Brooklyn indie rockers Here We Go Magic's BNM'ed, krautrock-informed track a retro makeover. The film stock looks like a VHS tape that's been rotting in your mom's basement for the past 15 years, and the members of the band have the thousand-yard stares we're used to seeing in ancestral post-punkers. Watch the clip below or at Pitchfork.tv.
Video: The Fall: "Bury Pts. 1 + 3"
By Tom Breihan on May 5, 2010 at 11:45 a.m. EDT
In the Fall's new video for "Bury Pts. 1 + 3", directors ThirtyTwo film the latest lineup of the deathless Manchester punk band moving in slow-motion against a stark background. If you thought frontman Mark E. Smith looked like some sort of reptile before, wait until you see him, in extreme close-up, moving at quarter-speed. It's scary!
Watch the clip below, or at Pitchfork.tv.
Video: Avi Buffalo: "What's in It For?"
By Tom Breihan on May 3, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
In Avi Buffalo's color-saturated new video for "What's in It For?", the super-cute Cali indie freshmen play and frolic in the great outdoors while psychedelic CGI plants grow and undulate around them. Then some flying jellyfish show up to the party. The track is from Avi Buffalo's self-titled debut album on Sub Pop.
Watch the video below or at Pitchfork.tv.
Video Premiere: Flaming Lips: "Powerless"
By Tom Breihan on April 14, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
The video for the Flaming Lips' damaged six-minute Embryonic psych jam "Powerless" involves a girl tied to a chair and a curious monkey. It starts out tense and drawn-out like Once Upon a Time in the West, and then it turns completely inexplicable like Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Lips frontman Wayne Coyne co-directs, alongside longtime Lips visuals guy George Salisbury. Watch the video below or at Pitchfork.tv.
Premiere: Suckers: "Black Sheep"
By Ryan Dombal on March 25, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EDT
The new single from hotly tipped Modest Mouse devotees Suckers is called "Black Sheep". Feel free to stream or download it above. The track is featured on the Brooklyn band's forthcoming debut LP, Wild Smile, due out on Frenchkiss June 8. Suckers are heading out on a massive North American tour with label mates Local Natives soon; check here for dates. And if you like "Black Sheep", you can support it financially when it goes up on iTunes March 30.
Watch the New Sunset Rubdown Video
By Tom Breihan on February 25, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. EST
You know a video is long when it includes multiple dream sequences. The new video for Sunset Rubdown's "Dragon's Lair", from writer/producer/director Throne Boogie, runs nearly 11 minutes and doesn't feature any actual dragons. Instead, it consists mostly of prettily shot footage of an adorable little kid running through wintery meadows and riding a horse. But there are also a couple of parts featuring a witch-looking lady in the sky. You figure it out.
Watch the clip, from Sunset Rubdown's BNM'ed 2009 Dragonslayer album, below or at Pitchfork.tv.
The xx Premiere "VCR" Video, Remix Gil Scott-Heron's Entire New Album
By Tom Breihan on January 20, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. EST
In director Marcus Sรถderlund's video for British group the xx's skeletal love jam "VCR", a pretty young couple tenderly and carefully break into a room, smash it all to pieces, and then light a fire. Then they kiss. Romantic! You can watch the clip below or at Pitchfork.tv.
"VCR" also has a new remix courtesy of shapeshifting producer Matthew Dear, which can be downloaded below. And speaking of the xx and remixes! During his radio show with Thom Yorke last night, DJ Gilles Peterson mentioned that the band will remix I'm New Here, the forthcoming album from the legendary soul singer and spoken word artist Gil Scott-Heron. The remix has been confirmed as being in the works. Interesting pairing!
tUnE-yArDs New Single and Video
By Tom Breihan on January 15, 2010 at 5:45 p.m. EST
The freaky folk-funk home recording artist Merrill Garbus is better known to the world as tUnE-yArDs, and her debut LP, BiRd-BrAiNs, was one of our favorite albums of last year. In the new video for her track "Real Live Flesh", Garbus and some face-painted friends get about as flirty and silly as lo-fi home recording artists ever get.
On February 8, Garbus' label, 4AD, will put out a UK-only 7" and digital single for "Real Live Flesh", with a track called "Youth" as the B-side. That's the cave-painting-looking cover art above.
Watch the video below, or at Pitchfork.tv. (For more "Real Live Flesh", Pitchfork.tv also has a live in-studio performance of the song.)
Premiere: Ruby Suns: "Cranberry"
By Tom Breihan on January 12, 2010 at 4:20 p.m. EST
On March 2, sunny New Zealand psych-pop outfit the Ruby Suns will release Fight Softly, the follow-up to the BNM'ed 2008 LP Sea Lion, on Sub Pop. (It's out March 8 in the UK on Memphis Industries.) That's the space-bar-averse cover art above.
Talking to Pitchfork back in October, frontman Ryan McPhun described Fight Softly as "probably the opposite" of Sea Lion: "I used a lot more synths. And there's a shitload of effected guitar on it. But I didn't use a lot of live drums. Going into it, I wanted to use organic sounds but I didn't want them to sound organic, which is the opposite of what a lot of people do. It's safe to say the new stuff is more bass-y."
Right now, we're getting our first taste of how the more bass-y Ruby Suns sound. Click below to stream or download "Cranberry" from Fight Softly. (UPDATE: The album version has been replaced with the radio edit.)
Shortly after the album hits, the Ruby Suns will tour North America, bringing glo-fi youngster Toro Y Moi along for the ride. They've also got a few New Zealand dates scheduled for next month We've got the band's full touring itinerary below.
Video Premiere: Field Music: "Them That Do Nothing"
By Tom Breihan on December 17, 2009 at 6:35 p.m. EST
Like, say, Vampire Weekend's "Cousins" video, Field Music's new clip for the hyperactive indie pop jam "Them That Do Nothing" takes many of the time-honored hallmarks of music videos (fisheye lenses, time-lapse photography, bowler hats), and invests them with energy and a sense of frisky fun.
The track will appear on Measure, Field Music's forthcoming double album, due February 16 from Memphis Industries/Revolver. Watch it below or at Pitchfork.tv.

A microcosm of the world's most architecturally significant K-12 schools, RECORD's annual review looks at recent projects that exemplify good design as a crucial component in a school's programmatic development. From an inner-city grade school in New York and a bucolic one on Washington's Bainbridge Island, to a progressive high school for 1,200 students in Beijing, each demonstrates the value that thoughtful and sustainable architecture can have for the well-being of a community and the education of its children.

My Concerns about Value Pricing | February 5, 2015
While I think the argument for value pricing has a logical constancy, and sounds great in theory, I worry how it will end up being applied in practice. My main concern is the effect this approach will have on the practice of design and our relationship with clients, although I have a number of practical concerns as well.
The ultimate goal of value pricing is to tie the amount you charge to the value you deliver, rather than the time you've spent. After all, the argument goes, the client only really cares about achieving their goals, and not the time you spent getting there. Clients aren't buying time, they're buying results.
On first inspection this feels like a perfectly reasonable argument. After all, if your car breaks down you really just want it working again, irrespective of how long it's going to take. In fact what you really want is a fixed price, rather than the fear that your mechanic will present you with an ever expanding bill you have no choice but to pay. So from the customers perspective, value pricing feels like a good deal.
Value pricing advocates will often say that fixed pricing take the risk away from the customer and put it in the hands of the supplier. So in our car example, the mechanic quickly determines that the problem is most likely a broken exhaust, and gives the customer a fixed price based on all the times they've done similar projects in the past. If this job ends up being especially tricky, it's not really the fault of the client so why should they pay extra? While if the mechanic finishes the job quicker, they can squeeze in an extra job that day and make a bit of money.
Of course this also means that the customer won't get any benefit if the mechanics realises they can patch the exhaust rather than fitting a whole new system. The customer may also feel a little hard done by if they thought they were getting a new exhaust, only to find that the car breaks down again a few months later. However that's part of the risk of a fixed price contract that focusses on results rather than approach or methodology. As such I suspect there are ways to structure a value priced contract that helps mitigate this issue.
The problems with fixed price contracts are fairly well known in our industry, so I won't go into too much detail. However there is a tendency for value-pricing advocates to pick relatively simple examples like that of a mechanic to illustrate the benefits of their approach. Now I don't think this is a surprise, as I believe value pricing works best for problems that are relatively simple and replicable, like fixing a car or doing a tax return for a small company. Sure there will always be some variance, but it's usually not that great, and is likely to even out over time.
Design and development services aren't like fixing a car. Often we're dealing with very complex problems, the full scope of which only comes to light when we're half-way through the project. In fact a big part of the project is usually figuring out what the problem is in the first place, making accurate estimation almost impossible. We're also dealing with problems that vary immensely depending on the companies involved. So the same problem in a large and bureaucratic business could take five times as long as with a small and highly engaged team.
It's issues like these that prompted the agile movement, and especially agile pricing. While I'm sure it's possible to blend the two, most of the value pricing advocates I've spoke to still adopt a relatively traditional approach to contract negotiation, locking down the scope in order to prevent scope creep. As such this feels like a bit of a backwards step to me.
Up to this point we've talked a lot about the fixed nature of value pricing, but we haven't tackled the issue of price setting. Going back to our car example, our value-pricing mechanic would start by asking the owner a range of questions to determine how important the car was to the driver. So they may ask how much the car was worth, what sort of job the owner had, whether there was a second car in the family, whether the driver had any important meetings coming up, or any commitments they needed the car for that week. If it turned out that the driver needed their car for a big meeting tomorrow the mechanics would price the job higher than if the person was going on holiday for a week and was happy to wait.
This all seems fairly reasonable so far. The fat cat executive gets charged a bit more while the family man has to pay less. However what happens when the mechanise decides that they only want to work for fat-cat business men and women who can afford to pay more?
This is my main worry about value pricing. It used to be that agencies would choose projects based largely on the design or technical challenge. Sure the clients would still need to pay, but a metered rate provided some level of fairness and democracy. Like hopping into a taxi, as long as you could afford to pay the fair, the taxi driver doesn't mind whether you're on the way to a business meeting or just seeing the sights. Everybody is treated equally. However with value pricing the driver will ask you a bunch of probing questions to decide whether they can make more money off of you, or wait for somebody more profitable to come along.
As such, there seems something inherently unfair and mean-spirited about value-pricing. Like when a hotel charges you five times more for something from the mini-bar than you'd pay at the corner store. You understand that you're paying extra for the convenience of not having to leave your room, but it doesn't feel especially nice being taken advantage of that way.
This brings up one of the big issues of value pricing, which is transparency. If you're a customer buying digital services, you're probably dealing with other agencies who charge by time and publish their day rates. As such you probably have a pretty good understanding of what the market rates are and what different agencies of differing abilities, experiences and reputations charge. This allows you to compare one proposal to another, based on how much they charge and how much time they are proposing to spend.
By comparison, companies who engage in value pricing typically refuse to give a day rate or detail how much time they will spend or how the proposal was put together As such you simply have to believe that they will do as good a job as the other companies who are more transparent with their approach. Because of this I can definitely see why some clients would struggle with the concept of value pricing and fear they may be being taken advantage of.
The main approach to value pricing is to figure out what the client values and charge accordingly. So some clients may value a quick delivery while others may value deep engagement. Some may value an immediate spike in traffic while others may value the lasting power of good design. Putting a figure on esoteric values like brand or engagement is difficult, if not impossible, so I worry that value-based agencies will priorities easy to track metrics like profitability. This may encourage them to chase projects that offer quick wins and big payoffs, over projects than deliver harder to track but no-less meaningful value.
I'd hate to live in a world where the best design and development agencies priorities working with banks, oil companies and large retailers, over arts institutions, charities and local government, purely because it's easier to quantify the value you deliver to these types of organisations, and charge them more. As such this new interest in value pricing does somewhat worry me and I hope it doesn't signal a slide into a more money focussed and less caring era of design.
Introduction to Value Pricing | November 25, 2014
I think most designers would agree that design has a huge amount to offer businesses in terms of differentiating products, solving complex problems and delivering increased value to consumers. I think most designers would also agree that this ability is often ignored or seriously undervalued by those same businesses.
Value pricing is an attempt to redress the balance by pricing work based on the value it delivers to clients rather than the time it takes to create. The argument goes that the value of a logo, like the Coca-cola logo, is often worth more than the hours that went into its creation. So whether the final creation took a team of branding experts 6-months, or was sketched on the back of a napkin during the first meeting, the value to the client-and hence the cost-should be the same.
This can be best illustrated by the fable of the plumber, who when asked to fix a boiler, pulls out her hammer, hits the boiler in exactly the right spot to get it working, then asked for ÂŁ100. When the homeowner questions how she could justify such a high charge for so little work, the plumber responds by saying "that was ÂŁ10 for me hitting it with the hammer and ÂŁ90 for knowing where to hit". The implication of this story is two-fold. First off the plumber wasn't charging for her time on the job, but for all the years of training that led up to that point, and ultimately the customer wasn't paying for the time either, bit for a working boiler.
It's a great story and one that makes a lot of sense. After all, there are plenty of circumstances where you care more about the output than the time it took you to get there. In fact with time being so precious, getting there quicker can often be worth more. This is one reason why Concord was always more expensive than a 747, and why some people will pay more for an abridged audio book than the full version - because they value their own time over completeness.
Designers often struggle to price projects based on the value of their work, so typically sell their time instead. As such, the only way to earn more money is to increase their day rate or sell more hours. So when you see news stories of that latest multi-million dollar rebrand, you can't help but wonder whether all that time was strictly necessary to come up with final logo, or whether it was the agency trying to justify extra revenue through unnecessary focus groups and consultation.
By contrast, value pricing takes elapsed time out of the equation and tries to focus on outcomes instead. That way it doesn't matter if it takes one month to solve the problem or six if the problem still gets solved to the clients satisfaction. If you're good at what you do (read "efficient at solving problems") you're able to generate much more profit than simply billing on time alone.
Value pricing seems to require a little more work up front as you need to spend time understanding what the client values before you can come up with a figure. For instance, are they willing to pay more for the project to start sooner, or for access to specific experts. Are they looking to hit specific revenue targets by a certain date, or are they more interested in developing out the capabilities of their team? Do they need every page designed and built, or would some kind of pattern portfolio deliver more value? Now none of the questions are exclusive to value proving, but you do need to spend more time uncovering these issues when you take this approach.
Value pricing also seems to imply fixed scope contracts, as you need to define exactly what value you're proposing to deliver to what price. So there's an interesting question as to whether value pricing can work alongside agile practices.
On the whole I think value pricing is a very interesting concept and one that I've seen come up more frequently over the past few years. Possibly because designers are feeling ever more squeezed to produce more for clients on less. So I can definitely see why people are attracted by the concept. However I also see a number of challenges with this approach, not least that fact that it's not how the majority of agencies price their work.
In my next post on the subject of pricing I'm going to flag up some of the issues I see with value pricing. Then I'm going to look at the more traditional approach of time-based pricing, paying particular attention to agile pricing. Finally I'll end things up with a short summary and a list of places you can go to find out more information on this subject.
Craggy Island: The climbing gym that hates boulderers? | September 25, 2014
Over that last year I've got really into bouldering. I'm not especially good, but I enjoy the mental and physical challenge of solving bouldering problems over the tedium of a regular gym. I tried rope climbing once, but wasn't keen on all the equipment or the need to climb in pairs. So I much prefer the freedom and flexibility that comes with bouldering.
When a work trip took me to Guildford, I decided to head down the evening before and check out Craggy Island. I've met a few people who climb there and highly recommend it, so I was looking forward to my bouldering session the whole drive up.
I've been to mixed climbing and bouldering places before, and have never had a problem. However when I arrived at Craggy Island I was turned away at the door. You see, despite only wanting to go Bouldering, the folks at Craggy Island won't let boulderers into their gym unless they also know how to rope climb. I tried to explain that I only wanted to use the bouldering wall, but it fell on deaf ears.
Having been rope climbing once before, I decided to try my luck and give it a go. However without the necessary muscle memory I hit a mental block and couldn't remember how to tie a belay knot. As each successive person passed by on their way into the gym, I began to feel more and more humiliated.
I tried to reason with the guy on the front desk. After all they were asking me to prove I could do something I had no intention of doing, just to get in. A little like asking for proof you can high-dive, when all you wanted to do is a couple of laps of the pool.
I asked if he could jog my memory as I was almost there, but he wasn't willing to help. Instead he suggested I came back another time to do a refresher course - something I obviously couldn't do because I was only there for a day, and didn't want to do because I was only interested in bouldering.
Rather than trying to help, or give me the benefit of doubt, there was a real "jobsworth" mentality at play here. What if they let me in because I said I was going bouldering, but I lied and actually tried to scale the climbing wall not correctly tied in? This would make sense had I not been to mixed bouldering and climbing gyms in more litigious countries like the US and faced no such problem. Instead you just sign a waiver, hand over your money and are trusted to do the right thing.
Walking out of the gym I felt angry, humiliated and dejected. What should have been the highlight of my trip turned out to be the low point, and put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. Instead of a great climb I left with the feeling that boulderers aren't welcome at Craggy Island, and I most defitly won't be going back.
Could the movies of your childhood be made today? | July 20, 2014
I've been thinking a lot about the effect digital technology is having on society of late. I'm especially curious how it's changing our most formative years, when the stories we tell about ourselves are generated and our identity formed.
Looking back, my adolescence seems like a halcyon time, devoid of mobile phones and status updates. Heading into the big city was an adventure into the unknown, and even something as mundane as meeting up with friends was fraught with uncertainty and excitement.
A lot of the movie tropes of my childhood, relied on these vagaries. For instance the whole premiss of Desperately Seeking Susan relied on two individuals not being able to find each other, and the hilarity and intrigue that ensued. So how different would this movie have been if it were set in the modern day?
The lead characters would now be following each other of Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, so only a check-in away. Similarly (spoiler alert) the people searching for Susan would only have needed to check her profile image to know if they'd got the right person. So the whole movie would have been reduced to "I wonder were Susan is?", swipe, "oh, she's there".
A lot of 80s comedies relied on the fish out of water scenario. However can you imagine National Lampoons European Vacation in an age of Trip Advisor? No laughably bad hotels, terrible meals or getting lost on the backroads of Europe. Just highly rated B&Bs and top class restaurants. Similarly Mick Dundee would have had a much easier time navigating the cultural differences of New York with a Lonely Planet Pocket Guide on his Fire Phone. Call that a knife? I could buy that on Amazon for $9.99 with next day shipping.
Getting from A to B was another common trope in these old movies. Whether it's the antics of Smokey and the Bandit, The Cannonball Run, or Every Which Way But Loose. How different would all these movies have been with Waze telling you the bridge was out and your Sat Nav warning you of speed traps? Right turn in 200 yards Clyde.
I wonder how Planes Trains and Automobiles have played out if Steve Martin was a ZipCar user? Or how about Martin Scorsese's After Hours if the main character could have called up an Uber? Probably a lot better come to think of it.
I always liked the "day-off" or "parents out of town" fantasy. However I wonder if Risky Business would have been different if Tom Cruise had advertised his activities on Craigslist or set up a Kickstarter campaign? And what about Ferris Bueller? No doubt his performance on the float would have gone viral and he'd now be making a living from posting inane clips on YouTube.
Another popular conceit is the fallibility of memory. About Last Night? Check-out my Instagram feed. Dude, where's my car? Oh, my parking app says I left it over there.
Other famous plot lines would have similarly shortened. So rather than the "will they won't they" romance of When Harry Met Sally, all Billy Crystal needed to do was fire up Bang With Friends to see if Meg Ryan felt the same way.
In fact most high school romances would have been rendered redundant thanks to services like this. For instance would John Cusack have traveled across the country for a Sure Thing, when he could have found one on campus with Tinder?
Similarly The Breakfast Club would have been a movie about 6 outsiders playing Angry Birds while bitching to their friends on Facebook. No need to crawl through air ducts or share snatched conversations in the hallway to bond. Swipe left. Swipe right. Let's meet in the janitors closet in 5. I'm sure what Judd Nelson saw under the table would have gone on Instagram straight away.
So If that's what's happened to romantic comedies, what about Sex? Would Sex Lies and Videotape have been renamed Sex, Lies and SnapChat? Would the protagonists in 9 1/2 Weeks have started their own webcam channel, ordering ever more obscure food from Tesco Direct to sate their subscribers increasingly niche interests. Taramasalata anyone?
I can think of hundreds of classic movies that would have been irrevocably altered in todays environment. Sure, some of the examples are slightly artificial, but it's an interesting thought exercise nonetheless. So hit me with your best shot and let me know what movies you think would have been changed by todays technology and how?
My Advice to Young Designers and Developers | March 16, 2014
I meet them on a regular basis, tech-savvy teens who've been coding websites from an early age. They'll often seek my advice about breaking into the industry. Should they continue their studies or jump straight into the labour market? I usually tell them that ability trumps education and I don't put much faith on the current raft of tech degrees. So I'd prefer to see three years of experience than three years of study.
That being said, I'll also point out that University is about much more than just acquiring a skill. It's a formative experience that will shape your attitudes for the rest of your life. It's also a huge amount of fun, or at least it was in my day.
As University becomes more expensive, it's understandable that people question its value. So it makes sense for many young designers and developers to skip higher education in favour of the workplace, and who can blame them? As somebody who was earning less than '300 a week throughout most of my twenties, I can't imagine what it must be like for a twenty year old to earn that much a day freelancing.
However I worry that in the rush to join the establishment, people may be missing out on formative experiences they'll never get back.
Now I don't want to romanticise low paid jobs or suggest poverty tourism for the soon to be tech-elite, but there's something to be said for getting by on minimum wage to enforce a respect for money. There's also something to be said for working behind a bar, in a call centre or any number of service-based jobs to instil a sense of empathy for other people.
If you're interested, I've worked variously at a chip shop, a supermarket, a warehouse, a watch factory, a restaurant kitchen, a bank, a call centre, a travel agent, a farm, a hostel and various dive centres around Australasia. In all of these situations I met interesting characters and learnt valuable life lessons.
The tech-sector is a wonderful place to work, but it's also a homogenous and often self-entitled one. So I wonder if the young engineers making their way down to Silicon Valley may have been better equipped to handle the ire of ordinary San Francisco citizens if more of then had tried living in the city on minimum wage themselves?
When I'm asked for advice from school age designers and developers about breaking into the industry, my answer is usually the same ' 'don't rush into a career at 18, only to look back when you're 28 or 38 and wonder where the time went.' 'Instead', I'll suggest, 'why not take a few years off to go travelling?'
I know it's a clich' but travelling really does broaden your horizons and expand your mind. Not only do you get to meet new people and experience different perspectives on life, but you also get to reflect on the choices you've made or are going to make. For instance I was convinced that I wanted to be a pilot at the age of 18 and even took up flying lessons. However it was only through travel that I realised what a mistake that would have been and what I really wanted to do with my life.
By comparison, the majority of people I know who went straight into a career ended up hating what they did for a living, but only realised this once it was too late. There really is no rush to start down the career path, so I find it weird how many people are settling into their careers so soon. It's something I associate more with my parents or grandparents era and is oddly conservative.
More importantly, travelling is a lot of fun. It's also something that gets harder to do as you progress in your careers, buy houses, raise families and settle down. So it's something I always recommend people to do when they're young, or risk missing out. After all, the tech industry will always be there, but you only live once so you may as well make the time count.
Specialism, Ego and The Dunning-Kruger Effect | February 19, 2014
Every few weeks I see a discussion emerge that tries to dismiss the need for specialists in our industry, or refute their existence entirely. It usually goes along the lines of "I'm a [insert discipline] and I do my own [insert activity] so [insert specialism] is unnecessary or doesn't exist".
While it's great to have people with a broad range of skills and abilities, it's also a little hurtful to people who have dedicated their careers to being good at a particular thing, as it implies that all their choices and hard work were a waste of time.
Sometimes this conversation spins into the area of job titles and their general inability to sum up exactly what an individual does. Other times it has us dismissing fairly well understood disciplines or defining the damned thing. The conversation usually ends up with somebody saying something like "Well I'm just going to call myself a Designer/Developer" as if picking the broadest and most generic term adds clarity to the conversation.
The problem is that I really do understand the sentiment. If you've been working in the field of design for a very long time at a reasonably high level, everything starts to look the same. So when I've seen product designers, architects or moviemakers talk about their process, the similarities are uncanny. As such it's no surprise when very experienced people pronounce that's its design (or development) all the way down.
However when you start to unpick each discipline, you discover that while the thought processes are similar, the individual activities and craft skills are often very different. You also realise that scale has a big influence.
If you're working on relatively simple projects, it's entirely possible for a talented individual or small team of generalists to create something amazing. You see this in everything from Web design and indie-publishing to residential architecture and independent filmmaking.
For somebody who has built a successful career in this space, it's very easy to look at large design agencies, architectural firms or film companies and boggle at all the specialists they have. After all, do Hollywood movies really need a best boy, key grip and clapper loader when you've just produced a short that you wrote, filmed and directed yourself?
It seems excessive, and maybe it is. I do think some industries have gone crazy with specialists, so there's always room to assess whether a certain level of specialism is necessary for your particular requirements or situation.
However therein lies the problem! People really do have the habit of making statements about the whole industry based on the small corner they inhabit. I know, as I'm as guilty of this as most. As such we see lots of comments dismissing the need or even existence of certain specialisms not because they don't actually exist, but because those individuals just haven't hit the limits of their abilities where having those specialisms would help.
This is actually a fairly common cognitive bias known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which sees people inaccurately assess their own level of knowledge while failing to recognize the skills of others. So if you've ever watched a man try to build a fire, cook a BBQ or put up a shelf you'll know what I mean.
In it's most passive state, the Dunning-Kruger effect manifests itself as naivety and may actually be a key driver for learning. After all, isn't it more enticing to think that if you start learning a new skill, you'll get good at it quickly, rather than realising that you're going to need 10,000 hours to perfect your craft?
As such we can help people get over this hump by expanding their worldview and explaining the deep specialisms of others. It doesn't mean that you have to become a specialist yourself, but it's useful to know when you're reaching the limits of your own abilities, if only to inform where you go next.
However I think the Dunning-Kruger effect can have a more divisive role. I'm sure we've all come across the egotistical designer or creative director who rates their own abilities above all else. This approach often leads to really bad design decisions to the detriment of the product or its users.
I've seen similar issues in other fields, like developers feeling they are the most qualified people to design the UX because they are expert technology users, or interaction designers believing they will make great visual designers because it's just a case of learning Photoshop right? This is an interesting area where Dunning-Kruger overlaps with the Halo effect to make people think that because they are good at doing one thing really well, they must be good at doing other things equally well.
I think this attitude is also holding a lot of people back. I've met plenty of talented practitioners over the years that had the opportunity to be great, if it wasn't for the fact that they already believed they were. A lot of this is environmental. For instance if you happen to be great at creating mid-sized projects or happen to be the best designer in an above average agency, it's easy to think that you've got it nailed. However put that person in a world-class team or a hugely complex project and watch them struggle.
I think this is why some of the best designers I know are going to work with big Silicon Valley Tech companies. It forces them to move out of their comfort zone and up their game.
For me, the very best practitioners usually exhibit the opposite of the Dunning-Kruger effect, known as the imposter syndrome. With this cognitive bias, people often have so much visibility of the great work and skill going on in their sector, that they never feel they match up. So they quite literally feel that at some stage they will be unmasked as an imposter.
This bias has a number of benefits in our sector as it forces people to up their game and learn new things, while at the same time making them realise that they will never know everything. As such, people with imposter syndrome tend to specialise. It also means that people are incredibly critical of their work and are constantly striving to improve.
However the imposter syndrome also has its negative effects, like never believing that you're worthy, or giving overdue credit to people demonstrating Dunning-Kruger like behaviour. So in it's worst manifestation I seen really amazing people stuck in mediocre jobs because they don't truly believe how great they are.
As such the key learning is to try and develop a well-rounded view of the industry, the skills you have and the skills and expertise of others. So please, no more tweets or articles like this one decrying a particular skill, discipline or job title. It turns out they are very unhelpful, and more often than not wrong.

Greetings Exodar !
I am looking to purchase Rhinestone Sunglasses . According to the undermine journal, horde side on Exodar is the only US server that could possibly have the pattern. Do you, or someone you know have the ability to craft these. If you do, respond here or send me an ingame mail, character name "Feenixdown" Thanks much ! =) |
Yeah, it's an insanely rare pattern... I'm thinking whoever has it on the server probably doesn't even know what they have, and since it's a vanity item, doesn't bother with the expensive mats to make / advertise for it. It's going to be like hunting for a needle in a haystack, but hopefully I'll get lucky... :)
Pretty sure they drop from the world rares.
I have the pattern. Dropped about a month ago from the Restless Soldier on TB.

Good site
I have bid extensively on many sites, both large and small. I was a very frequent bidder on Beezid and Dealdash in the past. When it became nearly impossible to acheive a win on these sites, I found Bidrail. I now bid exclusively on this site for the most part. In all areas, it is by far the best. Customer service is unequivocally the best of any site (including those which are not penny auction sites). In general, this is a fair, honest, fun site, where good deals are very obtainable. Another feature which differentiates it from others, is the free Board Plays. I have won many items, gift cards, and even a 2 gram gold bar! Give this site a try at the very least. You will not be disappointed! "

Widget Watch: Woot!
Fortunately, David Elliot piped up about the Woot.com widget, which easily and quickly lets you monitor the Woot sites from your dashboard, with a minimum of space taken up. And now I've got two instances of it running on my Dashboard, one for regular Woot and one for the Shirt version. I especially like that it includes Growl notification, too -- if I happen to be working around midnight and a really good deal pops up, I won't miss it.
Of course, you may not want to have something popping up on your Dashboard all the time tempting you to spend money. But if you're already following the Woot empire (and to tell the truth, I almost never buy anything-- I just like looking), the widget is an easy and simple way to stay up to date.

Review by
Snooze from Loveland Colorado
I purchased the Clarion RCB199 for my 2005 Mustang, it is a great unit and very east to use. The GPS boots up almost instantly. Sonic provided me with the install kit and wiring, and it works and sounds great with the factory Ford Shaker Amps. It looks great, and very easy to use. The built in hands free mic does not work so great, However a simple install of a Clarion external mic took care of that. People tell me they cant even tell Im using a hands free system. If you want a good unit and not spend a fortune I recommend the Clarion RCB199

Review by
Kev from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
Needed a mic for my head unit as I travel for work and my phone rings a lot. It's nice to be able to listen to music and not miss a call. This mic is far superior to the jvc unit my wife has in her van. The quality and response as you talk/listen is just about perfect. No one has ever complained about any echo effect, or asks me to repeat myself. The plug fit very tight in my Clarion unit so don't forget to push it in really firmly otherwise it wont work!

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hi all,
just wondered if anyone could identify this college-style sans-serif. Thankyou!
Can't believe I've stumped the typophiles … any ideas? Or maybe it's so obvious it's embarrassing to say? :)
PIXymbols Far Marks looks to match for me.
Thanks Ryuk. I think it's close but these letters look a bit bolder and the S terminals are a bit different

Giovanni Trapattoni insists Cesare Prandelli "did a great job" as Italy Coach at the World Cup.
The former Azzurri boss spoke to TuttoMercatoWeb about the Nazionale's latest revolution in the wake of a first round exit.
"He did a great job, considering the previous years too," said Trapattoni.
"When there are negative results, even if undeserved, unfortunately this can happen. In my view the elimination was a coincidence, as football is made of these moments.
"Prandelli is aware of certain situations and probably didn't feel he wanted to continue. There is always the desire to make up for bad experiences and over 48 hours Cesare might reconsider, but to be honest this seems like a considered reaction with a sense of logic.
"Prandelli is not the first Italy Coach to resign, after all."

Thursday, November 27, 1997 Published at 08:35 GMT Sport United favourites for Champions League United's Andy Cole, who scored a hat-trick against Feyenoord, is hoping to maintain his goal-scoring form
Manchester United have been made 9-4 favourites to win the Champions League by the British bookmakers Ladbrokes.
Real Madrid are second favourites at 3-1 and last year's beaten finalists, and one of United's main rivals, Juventus are third favourites at 6-1 followed by Bayern Munich at 7-1.
United need only one point from their last two matches to guarantee them a place in the last eight of the competition. On Thursday the English Premiership champions take on Kosice from Slovakia at Old Trafford, a match they are tipped to win.
United are the only team in the competition to have won every game.
Juventus, who posed the greatest threat to the Reds, both in Group B and in the competition as a whole, were made third favourites after losing 2-0 in the Netherlands to Feyenoord. Their Italian international striker, Alessandro Del Piero picked up a yellow card and will now miss the December 10 clash against Manchester United in Turin.

Twins (1988) - DVD ReviewBy HTQ4 - posted 12.07.03 @ 3:28 am
Film: Written by: William Davies, William Osborne, Timothy Harris, and Herschel Weingrod Released by: Universal My Advice: Skip it Julius Benedict (Schwarzenegger) is the result of a genetics experiment. So is his twin brother, Vincent (DeVito). They were separated at birth. Julius was raised by a doctor on a remote island, and as such, he is incredibly smart, but not very streetwise. Vincent, on the other hand, was raised in an orphanage and has become quite good on the streets with little schooling at all. Julius is determined to find his long lost brother, so he makes his way to L.A. to look for him. He is not exactly ready for what he finds, but he loves his brother just the same. that's all it was supposed to be. The DVD is a real disappointment. First of all, it's not even available in a widescreen version. You get pan and scan only. Now, granted, Twins is not the first film that comes to mind when you think of the full-blown widescreen treatment, but still: friends don't let friends watch pan and scan. Once you realize you're not getting widescreen, it's pretty much a given that the disc is basically barren. I think it would have been interesting to get Reitman in for a commentary, now that the film is fifteen years behind him, just to get his thoughts. You're not likely to get DeVito or Schwarzenegger in for a sit-down to record something, but still, we can hope, right? As it is, we have to live with nothing. That's why I'm recommending a skip on this one. The movie is just not good enough to buy a DVD with nothing extra-wise to back it up. Buy Stuff
