I’m pretty sure ICSID dropped WIDD on the 29th because it’s falls right after our Founder’s Day, makes complete sense! Okay, so really they chose the 29th to align with their 50th anniversary a few years back, but whatever.
This year WIDD officially enters the terrible threes stage (and yea, I just made that up); will it become what Teague’s Mr. Martin Adams refers to as a “toddler tornado?” I sure the heck hope so!
What are you doin to celebrate?
By definition I am in fact an Apple-ista, but I’d like to formally request here and now that all writers/bloggers/etc. chill out on adding the –ista onto everything. It’s lazy labeling, and even lazier writing. This weekend I peeled back the pages of Fast Company magazine, the one with Boom Jobs on the cover, and was immediately greeted with the term, which I immediately began to hate on, and continue to hate on now, 36 hours later. If everything is ista-ized, then the ista isn’t really necessary. And I actually don’t even think –ista is legit, I’m pretty sure we’re talking about –ist here, and for the record, that’s not cool either. Cut it out. Or better yet, think different.
What do all you design-istas think?
