Could be the best business book of the year… well at least the most amusing.
FLUXX

Just wanted to send a huge Thank You to @waste_not (Terra) who sent us Fluxx in the mail. We’re going to have to set some time aside to play it soon. :-)
Thanks again for the gift!
Happy Halloween

Michelle, Ryan, and Allison carved some pumpkins late last week. Can you guess who carved which? :-)
Only Two Seats Left
9 Oct 2010
One of our clients, Contiki, started building their product back in 1962.. nearly 50 years ago. Their founder, John Anderson, recently released a book telling his story of how we built one of Australia’s most popular travel brands titled, Only Two Seats Left, which we’re all looking forward to reading. From what we’ve heard from our colleagues there… it was quite an adventure.
Forget it.

If you can’t define it or act upon it, forget it.
Empathy is just a few words away

I recently received a welcome packet in the mail from our overpriced health insurance provider, which encouraged me to head to their web site to setup my account. They assure me that it is going to change how I manage my health!
Use advertising to describe the experience
6 Aug 2010
“It’s no use spending time, money, or effort to entice people into a product or service if it just leads to a bad experience. Why? Because those people you carefully encouraged and nudged into your circle? They go right back into the cloud, spreading the news about their bad experience.”
Fishing for a goal

I’m thinking that our team should start doing things like this when we launch new features for our clients.
Jacques Cousteau made it happen
21 Jul 2010
However, during the war, the German army was requisitioning almost all of the 35-millimeter film stock in Europe, for use in reconnaissance missions; not only was the film expensive, but now it was nearly impossible to find. This presented a problem for my determined father, who searched diligently in film shops all over France. Whatever the cost, he was determined to pay it. Wherever he happened to be, he found time to look for his precious film, until one day, he realized that he did not need movie film at all. He saw that any 35-millimeter film would work equally well, so he purchased rolls and rolls of film intended for still photography. Then, he and my mother would stay up half the night, under the bedcovers, gluing the film together 36-frame strip by 36-frame strip, so that it would be suitable for moving pictures.
A great example of Jacques Cousteau finding a creative solution to bypass external constraints that could prevent his projects from happening.
