Design kindergarten

Today I took design kindergarten. It was a 1/2 day class where we played with paper, glue, foam core, sharp knives and yes a glue gun. Mostly it was hands on from stuff I had already seen by Bill Buxton. He's a human interface designer that goes all the way back to Xerox Parc. I took the class with one of my employees and we had a good time messing with sketching on post its to trying to make a cube out of foam core.

The funniest part was when they were showing us how to use Ken Dolls to do animatics of interactions like in a store. I couldn't get Team America out of my head and it was hard not to laugh.

Best news? I only burned myself once on the glue gun. I was, of course, checking to see if it was still hot after I unplugged it. It was.
