Xerox

And then you look at the sort of card catalog system.

You go over, there's a folder and there's a bunch of Xerox copy printouts of modern buildings.

And that was my source of, because there was no internet and I couldn't fly to the Bauhaus and take photos, you know what I mean?

That's what my friend Mark Tansey did when he lived downtown.

You'd go to his place and he'd have these drawers full of Xeroxes.

He'd see a guy in a magazine digging a hole and another one and another one.

He would X-Acto knife them out, copy them.

kind of sat there like what are you even talking about? We had not heard about medical termination, selective reduction, multi-fetal reduction, all the different names for it.

And we left there with a, they gave us like an eight and a half by 11 sheet with like a really poorly, I remember like the Xerox was like crooked and it looked like it had been copied a million times from like a textbook and with basically just a definition of what selective reduction was.

And that was it.

it.

Lord Kelvin declaring heavier-than-air flight impossible in 1895.

IBM telling Xerox's founders the photocopier market could support only 5,000 units in 1959.

Ken Olson, from Digital, insisting in 1977 that no individual would ever need a home computer, underscores the conclusion.

Nearly all creative ideas sound crazy at first, and organizations unwilling to tolerate that craziness will never be genuinely creative ones.

I'm copying him, so you'd be copying me.

You're a Xerox of a Xerox brother.

We did Sunglass Sundays at Go Bananas.

And it's Sunday.

What have we got today?

today?Well, today we have Xerox the conure.

Um, Xerox came from Animal Care and Control.

It was a little, uh, green-cheeked conure.

I think it was a pineapple mutation.

Yeah.

So yeah, they fell in love with him, and yeah.

And I feel that, that Xerox wasn't very old.

print-on-demand card game factory within the budget that I had available that wouldn't be quite perfect to industry standards, but close enough that the average person wouldn't be able to tell.

And so you could you could publish games, you could print them yourself, and you could, you know, carry a gross margin on it at a reasonable price printing single unit volumes and manage from this a Xerox high-speed cardstock color printer, a half a million in revenue potential if you grew it that much.

So I was like, I think we should try to do this.

And we came up with some ideas for games.
