So, how do you create something that powerful and abstract? The answer, I … [Read more...] about Creating Immersive Experiences with Emotion

Finding Gifted Software Developers

October 24, 2021 by John Adam Leave a Comment

Great developers are not made, they are born. I’m not one of those degree snobs.

Blogging for Your Business Is Worth It Even if You Get no Traffic

October 22, 2021 by John Adam Leave a Comment

I used to blog out of guilt. Every now and then, my investors would sternly suggest I blog more. I’d grumpily obey and then point to the flat traffic graph as clear evidence of blogging’s fruitlessness. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy of fail. I’ve written previously about my first month of serious blogging in terms of performance & initial thoughts.
