Ya it was a last minute effort. I think it had the potential to be really big and fun. People came to us. Thats a hard thing to have happen at SXSW.

I think the end of the article explains exactly what you are saying. In other words. I agree with you.

"Restraints make people more creative not less."

From the article: "The moral is that sometimes rules (the string) may seem like a huge burden holding you back, but more times then not they keep you (the kite) making the right decisions, and keep you flying at your highest."

I was very specific with brand/model/linking because I've had at least a dozen friends over the past two weeks texting me to find out exactly what I wear. I'm with you about staying dry and having an emergency kit.

Here in Wyoming you never know what could happen or when you may see someone!

I was just offering a basic idea of some things that worked well for me.

Thanks for adding to the conversation!

Keep an eye out and I'll put some in another article I'm working on.

While I agree with you, that article has been written to death.

While we were there, one Irish guy asked me if I knew why the roads were so crooked. When I asked why he told me "Because the guys that built them were all drunk". It was good for a laugh.

Definitely thought some about that. Mostly the point of the article was to say that to grow as a UI/UX dev you need to shock yourself out of being numb. So in that regard, it would work with anyone driving in a country they don't live in. They are all so different. Trying to kill comfort zone.
