I was 'trained' as a kid that other adults at work or students in high school and college wouldn't take you seriously if you had doodles on your notes pages. And so, I was scared out of it. I ended up just doodling here and there on other things as a workaround.
I'm curious to know about your user name and user image. It looks and sounds very professional. Do you mind me asking what you do for a living?
The term "artifex" itself is from a book called Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson (it's set in the same universe as his Snow Crash, which is where the word metaverse is from). In the story it's a kind of honorific/title used to denote someone who has honed their craft and created something really exceptional. I, sadly, have not done that yet, but I am a compulsive maker of things (some of which are kinda ok). I'm currently a manager of people who make things at a software company. As for the logo, I just thought it looked cool, it was a 2-min photoshop job :) (my first few jobs was as an artist/graphic artist).
Oh cool. It makes me think it's nearly a compound word of 'artifact' and something else. I looked into Diamond Age, and it seems intriguing. I added it to my book list. Thank you. 👍
Haha, I sympathize for you. I'm like that on rare occasions. I mostly think, research, apply a bit (or a lot) of critical thinking... and then lose my interest in whatever it was. I'm an ADHD-I person in the end, and a deliberate person. So when I set out to do something, whatever it may be, I'm more inclined to make sure it comes to fruition.
That sounds intriguing and engaging. What's your opinion on the career position for someone with ADHD? Has it been rewarding for you?
Very cool! Some of the best things in history only took a short time to make. But understanding that getting there, took a lot more time. Experience, knowledge and patience.
