    Dev-Diary Of A Slacker

    Long ago I've discovered two things that, in a way work synergistically to make me highly productive. The first is something similar to accountability. I hate to break promises and create disappointment. That I haven't been keeping up with the progress thread is a genuine source of remorse...

    Hey, who's that living my dream life!?

    MINDSET 
    Well, hopefully it's you. Or more precisely, you 2.0! We all heard of "Fake it 'til you make it.", and some of you might recall me yabbering on about my eureka moment "Be who you wish to become.", which I can only assume is the exact same thing 'til someone gives me a clear definition of fakin'...

    A common trick when showing a house is to bake.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ok, I'm sitting here sorting my notes, and forming up my plan. Trying to get some peripherial presentation keys down, because lord knows I'll otherwise come across as some awkward nobody few strangers will listen to for more than four seconds. When suddenly I remembered something from house...

    Do positive people have trouble thinking critically?

    MINDSET 
    Just as the title says. I know very negative people often have trouble getting past any flaws, or more often, unfounded emotional issues to see the good in an idea, but do positive people get the opposite problem?

    Leadership Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Darkside and I began to have a discussion about the art of marketing to crowds and communities on the last half of the first page, and first few posts of the next page here https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/general-business-discussion/28967-giving-away-million-dollar-website-idea.html The main...

    The end of a dream, one way or the other. (Looking for feedback)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If you like, you can skip past my usual rambling to the bold part, to get to the heart of things. I'm waiting for my video to upload, but already considering scrapping it. I'm just not sure my microphone and voice quality are good enough, and I have doubts about still pictures... There's...

    Wake up and... Ah screw it.

    MINDSET 
    Admittedly, that's me 9 days out of 8. I've tried to adapt the really cool mantra of "Wake up and fight!" but it hasn't worked out for me. That's a 0 care, 0 will, 0 desire period of time. Even external motivators often fail. "Hey Justin! You wanna go-" Nope. "WHAT?! Really?" Yep. "Ok... We're...

    Many of you don't play TCGs, and that's why I'd love your help!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a very long segment from the rules to my future "Massive Multiplayer Online Strategy Board Trading Card Game." I'm hoping some of you will read over the segment and let me know if you think you might be able to pick up a deck and play the game. All I can offer you in turn is your name...

    Some scammers are really getting good at IM.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I found a ballsy scam today, when I started looking through the comments on cnn, related to the recent posting about broke people getting forgivable house loans. Part of what makes it ballsy is how it's structured... cnn-jobs.com-secure.info/work-from-home/ As you can see, it's set up to look...

    Gluttony as on old fun motivator

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Once upon a time I read someones dev diary, and there was a section that kept a record of the things the team consumed during the creation of their game. "Hey! That's neat, and we definitely have the geeks consumption life style!" I thought. So I brought this to my ex-partner and we began to...

    Something about this kickstarter project has gone horribly...

    Fastlane. GAMEFUL, a Secret HQ for Worldchanging Game Developers by Jane McGonigal — Kickstarter 2,000 goal. 64,000 raised, with 594 backers. A lot of the statistics and meaning is right there for you to take in folks. The number of pledges on each level, what they get, how it's...

    A non-political post about political signage

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The way I look at things is changing. I have my marketers lenses on most of the time. So when I walk through a wal-mart checkout, I pay attention to the impulse displays. Today for instance I noticed the first checkout.. It was well designed with a rope to walk you through many stages. Candy...

    Paybyweb's Authorize.net free month

    So, I was looking through the authorize.net partners... By which I mean, I looked at the list and tried not to feel dizzy with the number of partners. I actually so far only looked at paybyweb, which I stopped on because it was a logo I had seen before. (Yay, brand recognition in action!)...

    Just can't think of a good idea? I'm calling you out!

    IDEA 
    Sometimes I see people who claim they can't come up with any idea on a business to run. For me that seems bizarre- Ideas are constant (though not constantly good) and the wise old advice of "Find a problem and solve it." nicely wraps up what you need to do, right? If you're still stuck, this...

    Story time with Justin

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Once upon a time when I was in grade seven or eight, I had a clever entreprenurial premise. You see, I've always had a fondness for carbonated sugar water and on this hot summer day I desired some, yet lacked funds. In front of the no frills grocery store, I sat in the small shelter built...

    The way I get bored, and a question formed from it.

    MINDSET 
    Today I got bored. It wasn't because I was doing anything tedius. It wasn't because I had to sit in a quiet room, waiting for a phone call. In fact, I was quite thoughrally engaged, mentally speaking. Yet, I still got bored- bored going on border, which for me brings about a sense of pain, and...
