Come join us at Critical Mass to hear about the show's beginnings and the potential it brings to both the Chicago design community and the designers world-wide. I'll be showing some of my favorite clips from the show and talking about what its like to broadcast live with design legends....]]> http://designchat.info/sta-talk/feed/ 0 http://designchat.info/managing-a-crisis/ http://designchat.info/managing-a-crisis/#comments Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:02:21 +0000 Ryan McGovern http://designchat.info/?p=398 Wednesday was one of the stranger days in my life. In the span of 24 hours I experienced an earthquake, was disrupted by a flat tire, and had a hacker try to take over a live video broadcast. I can't remember another day when so many hurdles appeared in my path. My week's activities have been shifted to focus on all the events of that day because of the possible ramifications of all of them going badly. Although, I was able to navigate through all of these experiences with minimal repercussions and still feel like I made the best of each situation. Using a few simple rules I made sure my house and family were safe, got my car back on the road, and made the best of a situation soured by a bad apple.....]]> http://designchat.info/managing-a-crisis/feed/ 0 http://designchat.info/milton/ http://designchat.info/milton/#comments Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:37:24 +0000 Ryan McGovern http://designchat.info/?p=396 Wow. I just video-chatted with THE Milton Glaser… I will repeat… I just video-chatted with THE Milton Glaser. I'm a little shocked right now for a couple of reasons. First, he told me this was his first ever video chat. It may sound a bit lame, but I think there's sort of a responsibility that comes with that. But I guess there's a responsibility any time you can get Milton Glaser on record. I was honored and a bit surprised that he accepted my invitation to appear on the show. Although his presence in our forum creates the interaction that I had always hoped for DesignChat. The idea ANYONE can have first-hand access to the greats. Three people from the chat room got to ask question of Milton tonight. This could have NEVER happened 5 years ago...]]> http://designchat.info/milton/feed/ 0 http://designchat.info/2010-for-dc/ http://designchat.info/2010-for-dc/#comments Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:02:47 +0000 Ryan McGovern http://designchat.info/?p=388 I've spent my afternoon perusing the internets for all the flying cars that we're supposed to have in 2010. The Ryan from 1988 fully expected them to be floating past his head by now. I've come to the conclusion that I'll have to wait a wee bit longer until I can flip my glasses at someone and say, "Where we're going, we don't need roads!" In the mean time, we can still get together once a week with someone of profound...]]> http://designchat.info/2010-for-dc/feed/ 0 http://designchat.info/must-read/ http://designchat.info/must-read/#comments Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:45:26 +0000 Ryan McGovern http://designchat.info/must-read/ http://designchat.info/must-read/feed/ 0 http://designchat.info/holiday-episode/ http://designchat.info/holiday-episode/#comments Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:32:01 +0000 Ryan McGovern http://designchat.info/?p=359 http://designchat.info/holiday-episode/feed/ 0
