MARIO CHAMPION- chief creative officer

1988-1994. a lifetime ago, six years diving into school of architecture at the university of texas at austin. an extremely intense studio environment which taught me to think, to clearly and cleverly present complex ideas and solutions, to draw pretty pictures! design revealed the methods by which bright ideas might be made manifest by sheer force of will - and the well-timed luck of cajoling. that is, i learned all GOOD WORK requires a team of bright, dedicated individuals who realize 2+2 should equal 5 or more.

1994-tsP! inc a whole lotta talking goin on - and even more making. now at 29, an old man in this game, with six of the best years doing who knows what for you know who - mattel, microsoft, human code, simon and schuster, luck records and many others. what once was trying to spread the word about possibilities of the web and all that, is now a steady exciting stream of even MORE possibilities: web, wap, broadband, xml, jsp, bluetooth - bring it on! we ll keep telling stories - educational, b2b, c2c, p2c, or e2c (etc) - they are ALL just stories which, presented properly are just as engaging as, thus far, my favorite which concludes: "just then, the grackle."

still, looking forward to it, and still, the incessant voice of the pants.
