BoingBoing!

Holy crap, we made BoingBoing! It’s not a total surprise – we got a request for high res images this afternoon – but … we made BoingBoing!

Just look at it – isn’t it beautiful?

Michael and I are both Makers and former programmers. BoingBoing has been a serious cultural touchstone for me, and it was definitely a factor in the character of the studio we founded. I’ve been an avid reader for close to 10 years, and it was there that I was first introduced to, among other things, the maker movement. Making BoingBoing is a very real, and very exciting milestone for us. Put another way, I’m a huge fanboy, and this is RLY RLY COOL!.

Thank you Cory!

Full disclosure: A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of meeting Cory at a reception when he was in town to speak at UT Arlington and persuaded him that he really needed one to review. We only got to speak to him for a few minutes before the talk, but he is very much the charming, and genuinely nice guy that he appears to be. As a speaker, he’s good enough to make material and view points that I was mostly already familiar with into a talk that was interesting and extremely engaging – and I swear I said all of the same things before he did the write up!!
