I invoke the thinking behind @VW’s #ThinkSmall, @apple’s #1984 and @Oreo’s #Dunkinthedark to make a point about how to build brands even when it looks risky. https://www.salesschema.com/martin-bihl-on-a-lifetime-of-creative-direction/ #marketing @DansPalace @salesschema #creativity @TheAgencyReview #Zipatoni @RenegadeLLC

I’m speaking at Defuse – Design For Use – at The Sugar Club in Dublin on November 10th at 7PM.

The theme is “Reclaiming Design: Taking Back Purpose in an Automated Age” and my talk’s titled “Think small.”

It’s first come, first served, so mark your calendars and show up early (and find me and say hi if you do!) :)

Is this the Lilluptian tech support access corridor? #ThinkSmall

I am pleased to report that GISsurfer maps, as well as my other projects, do not contain any code or dependencies that will blow up the IT infrastructure of the world.

So apparently there’s been a denial-of-service attack on mastodon.social and it was down for a bit.

I didn’t notice.

(I have my own server.)

That’s the fediverse working as designed.

No server should be so big that its absence endangers the greater system. And if any are, that’s a problem.

If we want a healthy, resilient fediverse, we must keep the size of servers small and the number of servers high.

@aral @1br0wn You can get better thinking done when you #thinkSmall (and a better quality of life), but don't disenfranchise people. Both types of system matter for different causes and capacities.

Thinking more people are going to engage with you on mainstream social media “because everyone’s there” is like thinking people at a stadium concert are there to listen to you. It‘s only true if you’re one of the ones on stage. Not so much when you’re huddled in the nosebleeds.

Forget the numbers. Forget about “going viral” (leave it to the psychopaths in Silicon Valley to make virus-like behaviour aspirational). Embrace the joy of interacting with one another on a human scale.

Here’s wishing all of you on the Gregorian calendar a Happy New Year!

(And here’s to building a smaller, kinder, more human-scale world in 2023 and beyond.)
