I listen to it all the time. It's wonderful. I used to listen to music, but lately I've realized that I'm not smart enough to think of two things at once.

Exactly. It teaches you how to draw. An orange is just an orange to me unless I'm drawing it. Then it becomes an orange I have to focus on while I draw.

Re: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: You're projecting. The whole book is about following a system that teaches you to draw.

There's plenty of forums and design contests. http://www.drawar.com/crits/design is an ok place to start. I'm sure there's more. It's going to come down to practice, like everything else.

To answer your questions: 1) The same way a programmer learned to program. 2) Yes. As practice, draw from real life everyday. 3) If you want. 4) If you want. 5) I recommend reading Drawing on the Right Hand Side of the brain, Don't Make Me

As one programmer to another -- you may want to rethink your point of view. "Art" is as much about craft as anything else.

This is awesome, but it would be great if they also told me what places are sausage-fests so I'd know where to avoid!

I went from not being able to draw a smiley face to drawing myself in a way that resembled a human and was even recognizable with that book. A good book to read after you are done with Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is Nicolaides Th

I don't like to listen to music while coding because I'm not smart enough to think of two things at once. But when I'm done, I'll pop in some Bone Thugs & Harmony.

Hate the zebra stripes. The yellow bg-color on the even-numbered rows leads me to believe that those stories are more important than the ones in odd-numbered rows. Like everyone else said, in threads, the metadata is over-emphasized.

It's all a matter of picking the best self-illusion you can think of, really.

I second this one. You're really wasting your time if you're there for more than 45 minutes. Means you're resting too much between exercises. Quality over quantity when it comes to gym time. For example, do 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 burpees

There's no magic wiring there - humans don't speak computer out of the womb. Some people start programming at a younger age than others. Some move on, some stick, some take it more seriously, some go on to become great. It's like any other

1. You can afford to cut the second sentence in the first paragraph. Like so. "Take control of an F-22 fighter jet as you hurtle down a narrow, winding canyon. Using the accelerometer, dodge obstacles and avoid the ever-narrower canyon wall

I don't listen to anything when coding. I'm not smart enough to think of more than one thing at a time.

Awesome. I didn't even know we had one of these.

Funny how he decried HIIT for fat loss and went on to recommend exactly that. Here is a better article, if you are interested in Tabatas. http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/tabataintervals.html

Carnegies "How to win friends" could be of help. It's something every engineer should read.

Read up on Ross Emanait. He has a steady gig training athletes in strength and conditioning. Boxing, and stuff like that. Seems to work as if he was a consultant.

Descent: journey into the dark, road to legend expansion. The ultimate hack'n'slash. Goes well wih doritos, mountain dew, and all-nighters.

Check out some screencasts too! Peepcode's are pretty good, although I think there are some lynda.com ones that are alright, if a bit outdated.

You can get a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and learn to draw. Proceed then to design the logo you have in mind.
