arlobish··on Whimsical Animations Course Open House
I took his React course and it was top notch. Highly recommend!
arlobish··on Your website is not for you
I get why a design studio would think this way, but in many cases it is for me.
arlobish··on Auto Polo
"The official inventor of auto polo...devised the sport as a publicity stunt in 1911 to sell Model T cars."

Amazing to see how little has changed in 100 years when it comes to competing for attention

arlobish··on A 1960s art school experiment that redefined creativity
Am I right in saying the conclusion of the experiment was: people who spend more time thinking about a problem before acting tend to find it more engaging and were therefore more successful?

I wonder if the quality of the art suffered within the context of the experiment because of the time constraint, even if in the long run those people tended to create better art.

arlobish··on Remembering the Computer Literacy Project (1992) [video]
Everyone should watch this to understand how far we've come in so little time.

I try to put myself in the mindset of someone at that time seeing a computer that takes up an entire wall, with the announcer in the background saying "Something like this could do your taxes one day".

Would I believe it? Then I think of the claims people are making today about AI, and try to take them more seriously.
