Rebooting the Me Generation

June 25, 2014

I moved alongside a small group of peers from my exact demographic from an Imax movie into a theater corridor. We were stopped dead in our tracks by the sound of something emerging from a nearby theater. It was heavy and roaring. By the time we saw them it was too late. A horde! No!…

The Evolution of revenflo.com’s Design

May 9, 2014

Micah Troublefield

Design, especially in a collaborative environment, is all about iteration. I’ve always known this, but when we decided to build a new RevenFlo website from the ground up, we really pushed ourselves to never settle and to keep looking for a better solution. A lot of writers give the same advice: Never accept your first…

You Must Have rules!

April 9, 2014

To learn a craft is to learn rules. It’s the spine of our education as children. We’re made to recite facts and follow rules, and the assumption is we will take this combination and create a productive adult. When mastering a craft we are either lucky enough to have facts and rules explained to us,…

Service is Better than Sales: Flipping the Sales Paradigm

March 14, 2014

I’ve never thought of myself as a sales person. Actually, growing up I thought sales was the root of all evil. I interpreted sales as trying to push something on somebody through manipulation and negotiation. I thought it was dishonest at its core. But I was missing something critical in my perspective. I started RevenFlo…

Making Machines That Run on Characters

March 11, 2014

I’ve spent the last couple of years immersing myself in education and advice on screenwriting/storytelling. There’s a million storytelling ninjas out there with differing ideas on how it’s done and so many of them (who aren’t selling a book) will tell you that “how it’s done” is a very liquid thing. I decided my best…

On Asking Friends to Like Your Facebook Page

February 28, 2014

If you’ve been on Facebook for a while, you’ve probably gotten used to (or have begun to ignore) the constant stream of requests to like the pages of your friends. These are the friends who own their own businesses, make art, or play in bands, and want to share the latest updates with you. And…

The Rise of Font Icons

February 25, 2014

David Frick

The recent WordPress update to 3.8 woke many web designers and developers up to a new trend. Font icons were introduced in the WordPress dashboard to replace .png image icons. The move towards flat design is well past its infancy–but the use of flat design to cut page load time is on the rise. Font…

Quality Control Takes a Shift in Perspective

February 25, 2014

We’re working on quality control as part of our process. It’s not easy to get this firmly built into the process. I think about my son. He never checks over his work. He scores through the roof on standardized math tests, yet when he’s taking tests in class, he makes simple mistakes. Just because he…

How Being a Perfectionist Can Actually Be a Weakness

February 10, 2014

Micah Troublefield

I’ll admit it: I like being a perfectionist. It’s a big part of who I am, especially when it comes to anything creative I do. This is where you’ll have to pretend it’s not a humble brag when I say I can never accept less than perfection from anything I do. Or when I say…

Well-rounded

February 7, 2014

I am really fortunate to be working at RevenFlo at this point in my life. This isn’t the first time I’ve had this thought, but it’s one I had again during a recent conversation with a fellow student about past and present work experiences. His first job in the field of software development was as…

Be Kind to One Another

February 6, 2014

I recently stumbled across an article and immediately got reeled in by the title: “A Man Stole This Woman’s Wallet, and You Won’t Believe What Happened Next”. Like anyone else reading, I wanted to know what happened next. Usually, I skip to the bottom or speed read to see what happens. You could say I’m…

Letting Go of Code

February 5, 2014

When it comes to cleaning up code I have noticed that I have a tendency to comment large chunks of code to preserve them for later. While sometimes this is useful, many times it is completely unnecessary. This is especially true when working in a version controlled environment. Just delete the old. Sounds painful, but…
