The Psychology behind Google Wave →
This is what gets me most about new technologies; their unbound, unhinged potential for creating new ways of interacting with the world. To a certain extent, I believe a designer is a psychologist, if only in part. It’s creative psychology, one of both service and manipulation.

Tom Marvolo Riddle: i smell an art project
Voldy: you have multiple ones going on now, i'm suprised you're not drowning in paint
Tom Marvolo Riddle: ah but that's not the point
Tom Marvolo Riddle: it's always the means
Tom Marvolo Riddle: because imagine a cannonball
Tom Marvolo Riddle: and a field of pumpkins
om Marvolo Riddle: you aim your cannon at the other end of the field with the goal in mind to squash a bunch of pumpkins at the far end
Tom Marvolo Riddle: however, you have no idea what amount of gunpowder to use
Tom Marvolo Riddle: so you learn
Tom Marvolo Riddle: fire cannons, find out how much gunpowder, fire again
Tom Marvolo Riddle: in the end, you'll have a bunch of cannonballs and a bunch of pumpkins squashed in a field, probably more than you intended
Tom Marvolo Riddle: but now
Tom Marvolo Riddle: you've accomplished something
Tom Marvolo Riddle: next time someone casts an equally surreal metaphor, you'll know EXACTLY how much gunpowder to use to shoot him
Voldy: .....you know what, i want pumpkin pie now
Tom Marvolo Riddle: i know!
Tom Marvolo Riddle: :p
Tom Marvolo Riddle: that stuff is great!
