Rubric Project: How do you measure?
- Physical Fitness
- Dance
- Visual Art
- Music
- Things that are unmeasurable?
People tend to use a rubric.
This is a series of videos where I interview people about their respective fields and find out how they think through subjective things in an objective way.

The Rubric Project: The Disciplines

Some are for fun and some are to communicate a message.
Asking questions from the inside
When I interview people for work I try to understand them. I try to use their vocabulary and put myself in their shoes. As a web designer this helps me communicate their message to their customers. In this video I’m an attendant at QuakeCon the year after Skyrim was released. I stood in line before I knew what the question I would ask might be. And I thought to myself what’s the truth that only they know that would help us understand a little bit about why they do what they do and what makes us the same (gamers and developers).
We all love that first playthrough. This is me asking them about what it’s like to sacrifice that so they can make games we love.
This is an example of me asking a question from the inside. When I interview people I don’t want to ask the questions they’ve heard before. I want to ask them to talk about what brings them joy or something they really care about. I want to know what makes their eyes light up.
