pI am very appreciative of the opportunity to have spoken at a href=”http://www.swiss-miss.com”SwissMiss/a’s a href=”http://creativemornings.com/”Creative Mornings/a event last month, and as I mention at the start of the video, I wanted to do something special for Tina’s new baby Tilo. Given the monumental snow storm the preceding day and morning-of, it was a thrill to see so many people come out early for the event. /p

pWe arranged the chairs in a semi-circle, turned down the lights, and I have to say that a morning song format did lend itself well for what was going on outside. Given my vantage point during the talk, I think emI/em was the only one who could see the snow drifting down out the windows, but it added a sweet romance to the thing (and made it extra hard to concentrate on the lyrics). In case you were wondering about them, they’re pasted below (I abbreviated a stanza near the end for the sake of brevity…it was getting long). It’s a great song for kids, but now I know it’s a great song for designers as well. It sure was fun to take a look at it through that lens#151;that’s in the second half of the video!/p

pThanks to a href=”http://hellorolo.com/”Roland Lazarte/a for doing the video; thanks to a href=”http://www.bobulate.com”Liz Danzico/a for hosting and the a href=”http://interactiondesign.sva.edu/”SVA MFA Interaction Design/a for the space, and again to Tina for the invite. Hope you enjoy./p
