Communication and the Law of Constraint

February 25, 2020 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

The smaller the space you have to communicate the more the preparation you need. I think of this as the law of constraint. When I have lots of space I’m a little lazy and loose with what I deliver. Smaller spaces, however, require real thought. Think about it: 140 characters on Twitter took more thinking than 280. Prepping an 18 minute TED talk is ...

What Do Your Ideas Look Like?

July 16, 2019 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Daylight Savings – Turn Your Apple Watch Forward

March 10, 2019 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

SXSW is plugging the odd reminder to 'turn your clocks forward’ for daylight savings.

March 2, 2019 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Berlin physician Fritz Kahn (1888–1968) was a science writer, illustrator and polymath who paired human physiology with industrial systems. His piece de resistance, “Das Leben des Menschen” (The Life of Man, 1922–1931), used visual analogy, metaphor and contemporary design to represent the human body. Kahn popularized the infographic at a time when our reductionist ... Continue Reading about Man as Industrial Palace by Henning Lederer
