Totally pijon, It’s good to hear from someone who has experienced the same thing that I have. I totally get that “this is awesome” feeling at night when I’m exhausted late at night. I think its best to always design, wait, review, revise and so on. Just keep building on your ideas always taking what was best from your previous design. I believe that there is always some good things in a lot of each design. It just has to be refined.

Some say that they do their best work at night.. maybe so, but everytime I try to create something at night, I get the feeling “this is awesome”.. But when I wake up I can’t believe that I spend 6-7 hours on that crap. I produce my best stuff between 6.am to lunch. And take the afternoon to reply emails and take phonecalls.

Llamas are very curious animals and Winslow Homer has caught this perfectly in

Haha! Rofl. Dood, I love this quote “The wanton distraction of a UT2k4″. I love those memories of gaming while we were supposed to working on our finals! Thank God for Tim Tsai eh…hehe… ;)

Anyhow, pain, good luck on that whole sleeping 5 hours thing. I’ve tried it. It sucks…hardcore. However, it sounds like you’ve got a healthy diet planned bro. Looking forward to seeing you look like crap. Actually bro, I’d get more sleep if I were you. Its pretty bad when your friends want to play videogames and you say you are too tired. N00b.

i concur… i do my best work at night. I am only half-steam during the day. Caffeine is one of my friends, even though I’m breaking free of that demon. Oh and nicotine is fantastic for sparking my juices. You remember Rogie, 3am, college, office, chain smoke, GENIUS! Seriously, if I can be put in an environment of:

- 10:00 PM or later
- Caffeine
- Endless Supply of Cigs
- A computer
- The wanton distraction of a UT2k4 (or Far Cry lan action with Rogie) match ever couple of hours

I would achieve miracles. Not to say that all my product would be fantastic, but I assure you my time would be productive. I think I’ll move to the dark side of the moon.

I love reading people who comment with heart. People who don’t agree for agreeings sake. You know? Ever had a situation where a group was trying to come to a consensus and it seems that everyone agrees? I learned in psychology that when a large group of people are trying to brainstorm, that many times they converge to a decision to quickly. I think it was called “group convergence” or somethings like that. Anyhow, the idea is that in smaller groups, people feel more individual responsibility and will speak up their opinion. Blogging creates this sort of freedom as well.

Anyway, I like to hear from people who feel differently than me. My first question to you is how do you go about “stealing” design without the ripoff of the whole work? Are you talking about stealing certain design elements?

As for your movie comment, I would agree. By Sci-fi or arty, I didn’t mean only Sci-fi or arty. In fact, my point was more aimed at pulling yourself away from the media that is the web and to take inspiration from another media.

I think its cool that you can work under such distractions, it just so happens that I cannot easily work under many distractions. How much caffeine do you take in? I am interested to see what sorts of caffeine you mix as well. Are we talking 2 pots o’ coffee, a caramel macchiato, a monster, then 3 red bulls to polish off the evening?

By the way, the pianist was rad movie. Awesome. :)
