Then, during World War II, someone decided we needed a plural version. Seventy years later, we’re drowning in ‘priorities’ while productivity experts beg us to focus on just one thing at a time. The irony would be delicious if it weren’t so costly to modern business. The CEO of a manufacturing company I… ## [I went to SCaLE 22x!

I’m regularly disappointed by applicants claiming to know all they need to, or asking something inane just to avoid asking nothing. Being asked if you have questions makes it sound optional, but this is the opportunity for a great candidate to stand out from the merely good. I… ## [Gifted.](/gifted) _2024-12-17 · Hoss Gifford_ I worked on a branding project for a high-profile luxury real estate development where our designers had a beautiful idea for their sales centre experience: give visitors a wooden USB stick containing floor plans of their potential future home.

But you’re revelling in the quality of… ## [Adobe Sneak Peaks](/adobe-sneak-peaks) _2024-11-08 · Hoss Gifford_ Arthur C. Clarke’s third law states that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” AI, especially the generative stuff, causes me to experience much magic, and Adobe’s upcoming software is enthusiastically waving its magic wand.
