You might wonder how the title of this relates to the above photo so let me try and establish the scene. Darryl (AKA “Da-REAL Deal”) squirreled himself into some kind of tiny sled. The reason this tiny sled exists still evades my comprehension. Justin then attached this strange sled to his waist much like a [...]

The Freedom to Fail
Tuesday, May 7th, 2013It’s a jungle out there
Wednesday, March 6th, 2013I went to the Oregon Zoo earlier this week. The hope is that we can work together and form a partnership around the beaver habitat. Maybe some day we will have livebeavercam.edu available for you to go to (official title still to be determined). Anyways it was also quite enjoyable on a personal level because [...]
What is a User Experience Specialist?
Tuesday, February 19th, 2013So whenever I am in a meeting and we do the typical lets all introduce ourselves spiel. I inevitably get asked what I actually do or get the typical confused/intrigued facial expressions. I guess I should preface this by saying my official title is User Experience Specialist. Most of the time I give a fairly [...]
How big is Super Grande?
Tuesday, February 19th, 2013Here are three things you can learn today. The Grande Super burrito at La Rockita (downtown Corvallis) is too big. I know wouldn’t typically ever think of saying that phrase, but the thing is just way to big. It broke open and spilled every where. Quite tasty, but a big disaster. Sorry I don’t have [...]
Teenagers and Web Usability
Tuesday, February 19th, 2013I was recently sent an interesting article. It was a study done by the Nielsen Norman Group on Teenagers and how they use the web. It contrasts this study with others done on different age groups. If you are interested in the subject I encourage you to read the full article. I will be honest it [...]
Beaver Nation United
Tuesday, October 16th, 2012For an upcoming football game all OSU fans are encouraged to wear Black apparel. It will be one of the first night games at Reser in a long time, so it should be a pretty incredible atmosphere. For the last decade (when we started winning) it has been a tradition for students to camp out [...]
Whatever gets the job done.
Monday, August 27th, 2012In our department we value creativity. We have a pretty relaxed environment. Hours aren’t 100% scripted and our dress code is pretty relaxed. We have a voice in the design of our offices and creative spaces. In the Higher Education world I would say we operate outside of the norm. However, none of this would [...]
Welcome to the Big Show!
Tuesday, August 7th, 2012Every year as a part of our paid sponsorship with Athletics we get to create a short video to be played during football games. Yes, that is accurate we (the university) have to pay to get a 30 second message up on the Jumbo Tron at each of our home football games. I understand it, but [...]
Jimmy Johns
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012I recently had Jimmy Johns for lunch. If you aren’t familiar with the franchise I will try to sum them up really quick. They are a sandwich shop and their competitive advantage is that they are fast, really fast. Most of the time, when you walk in and order, your sandwich is ready by the time you [...]
