Frog Design.. Today’s Neo

I’ve been thinking about voices of “emerging now” lately. The ever spinning what to be next around the corner now. I’ve singled out a hand picked list of various voices, in this entry I want to talk about one of them - today’s neo.

Neo is symbolic to me as a metaphor of uberness, he wears leather well, probably better than I ever could. He’s equiped with insta-bullet time and who wouldn’t love that.

Today’s Neo is Frog Desgin. Around ever cool corner on the web you’ll see Frog looking back at you as if you’ve been missing from the party all year long. Not many innovation houses, D firms, dudes and gals with might spread around as much as Frog does.

In some ways they’re like the Mimbari of Babylon 5, they’re ships are elegantly designed, they have an all inviting cause to help all living beings, they are truly enlightened and striving to be in the scene more and more… for all we know they may even have two casts like the Mimbari, a warrior guard of old design being held back by the new web friendly awe inspiring sect of design.

IDEO, just to note, is more like the Vorlons, they’ve passed on into the great divide of book publishing and speaker engagements.

For the record, Lextant, my own inner temple of goodness is right up there with Neo, probably more like a Morpheous type in that they like stay in the background a bit more than the Neo types out there. In the world of Bab5, Lextant may be more like the Centauri, I always did their set design and cool warships.
