This post is called "first flog" because I was motivated to start the blog by my desire to promote my newest product, the "Ball of Whacks." Thus, I'm "flog" mode these days. (I've heard from some of you who asked, "Flog?" In addition to meaning "beat with a stick or whip" [this ties in nicely with "whacking"], "flog" also is slang for selling and promoting.)
The Ball is a creative stimulant and consists of 30 magnetic design blocks which the user can transform into many different shapes, the most beautiful of which is the 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron. For more info, pictures, and a video, go to: www.creativewhack.com
In the course of my "self-flogging" the past several days, I've gotten a chance to meet some interesting people in the creativity/innovation/design community including David Armano (Logic + Emotion), and John Maeda (Mr. Laws of Simplicity), and Jim Carroll. All three of these blogs have some interesting content. Check 'em out!
Roger,
congratulations!!! You are blogging. Welcome to your new addiction. ;)
Actually you will love it. The only problem you will have is figuring out what to do with all of the inspiration you will get from this experience and of course the new friends you will make.
Thanks in advance for sending the ball of Whacks. I can't wait to play with it.
Enjoy your adventures in the Social Network.
