Don’t Live in a Design Bubble

Last night, I was going through my Google Reader and came upon Subtraction’s post “Dear Designer: You Suck.” To best honest, I didn’t really read the whole thing. I read the first paragraph and skimmed the rest. From what I assumed I understood, the post was about designers not taking non-designers’ criticisms well. As I skimmed through the rest of the post, one of the headings read, “Living in Bubbles.”

It didn’t really matter what it said (though I’m sure it was very thoughtful and well-written), but I realized that I’ve been living in a design bubble and I really should go out and explore and do something new that is not related to design. I really want to do this on a regularly (e.g. monthly) basis, but I don’t know what. Surf? Travel? Skydive? So if this idea comes to fruition, it would be fun to post it here.

Flush.
