Build+Ship, Design

Don’t forget your roots

Spacewar the first computer game

We’re very fancy now—with our user interface design and our user-centered design and our mobile first and our right ways and wrong ways.

But we’re all just geeks—folks in glasses and ties and knits and tweeds fiddling, fumbling, exploring.

That picture there, up above, is one of the first computer games ever made. One of the first computer interfaces.

“Hey guys, this is the first computer monitor… ever.

Let’s do something with it!”

That’s where we come from. That’s our roots: fiddling and exploring and being excited in tweed.

It makes me want to stop looking for more right answers and start looking for more of that “shit, I have no idea what we’re getting into here but I can’t stop being excited about it!” spirit.
