Adam over at Hot Meteor unearthed some incredibly cool vintage advertisements from National Geographic for the DHARMA Initiative - jump over to his Flickr stream to see the whole collection.  For all of you fellow LOST junkies, you have to agree that this is some amazing work!  If I’m ever looking for a designer in the future, Hot Meteor will be one of my first stops.

Hat tip to Jason Kottke for the pointer.

Ah, those wonderful words, the first words to show up on the screen as you take the first steps in code writing in most common software languages. 

Every weblog takes its first breath when its creator puts pixel to monitor and authors the inaugural post.  So here I sit eyes staring at the white screen, fingers trembling as they await instructions from the brain, and palms beginning to perspire at the real question, am I serious about this endeavor?

The response dear reader, whomever you might be, is, “Absolutely!”

So here’s to many future posts and conversations as we explore the winding paths of how to build innovative new products and services that succeed in the marketplace by generating passion in the ultimate enduser.  How is this done?  Obviously that is our task to define but the key is to recognize that you must first capture the perfect picture of exactly the problem your customer is trying to solve.

Cheers!
