Plussing It

Inside Denki | 4 cromulent comments

In the recent Quarrel progress report, I used the term ‘plussing it’. It may not be familiar to you, though I’m sure you got the gist of it.

This is a term that we’ve… purloined from Walt Disney. To ‘plus’ something means to push it that little bit more, no matter how well you think you nailed it. And it can be applied to anything. It gave Disney animations the edge way back when, and Pixar (a company heavily influenced by Disney) believe strongly in the concept of plussing their work.

The concept of focussing on the small details is something we do as a matter of course, but it’s nice to have a catchier label to use.

@Denki team:

Hey guys! I know this comes a bit off topic, but, I just wanted to share this cool looking mind-controled toy (being the nice little Star Wars geek that I am):

The same technology is also usable for videogame controllers, and other toys (I’ve seen a RC car).

This just felt like a nice little plussing for future possible projects for Denki… Enjoy!!! :D

I think Denki should definately keep their eyes on this Natal thing floating around Microsoft at the moment too… :)

David says:

Oh don’t worry, we’re keeping an eye on everything. :D

Badger says:

Natal is a very interesting technology as well… Both of these items carry very interesting revolutionary seeds for human advancement, in more ways than one!
