Office Hour Tangents

While selecting all of the March Madness teams to record on YouTubeTV (via team logos) and listening to the morning sports talk fallout from an historically MONSTROUS dunk in the NBA, I decide to attack who may be the next face of the NBA...based on player logos. I also talk a little about branding in general and, you know, go off on a couple of other tangents.

Macromedia had Adobe shook back in the day just like Figma has them shook now, and a follow-up to the Requiem For A Dream episode as I show how one of the DOPEST and most inspirational websites EVER, Neostream, inspired one of the first websites I created using Flash.

**Guest audio/microphone issues. I contemplated not posting because of the audio issues, but, IMO, the content is valuable enough to post, and good enough to schedule a “PART II” so stay tuned (subscribe & 👍🏽) for a follow up. Furthermore, below are timestamps in case you want to skip around**

My FIRST interview!...well, it's more of a conversation that started in a coffee shop (shout to Deke's in Delray.) She asked me about a local design firm that she recently applied to. This is where the discourse began, but becoming a design professional during and post COVID was the TANGENT. As we were talking I stopped and asked if she would like to continue the conversation on OH Tangents and...here it is!

The first OHTangent!

When discussing the utility of new age websites in class I briefly went on a Tangent that likened websites to stores in a mall. Additionally, in a faculty meeting where Apple's new Vision Pro was discussed and Meta's new Quest 3 was demonstrated, I continue a Tangent (or rant, depending on who you ask) about staying on top of the technology wave.
