The myth of solo product designer

No man is an island, even for the gunslinger entrepreneur:

The lone ranger, lone wolf hunter is now an urban legend.  Even wolfs hunt in packs and they are effective that way.  Teams leverage the creative process.  More heads are better than one

It is Happy Valentine's Day today.  and double 14.  What an auspicious day.

However, two days ago it was not well in Loyola campus.   And every one was scared.   The Loyola staff had to evacuate the entire campus, at all schools:   grade, high school, Loyola. The anonymous text messages (two in all could not be taken lightly)  The text messages read:  : “MAY MGA BOMBA NA SASABOG SA ATENEO. PANIGURADONG MADAMING ESTUDYANTE AT EMPLEYADO ANG MAMATAY. 30 MINUTO MULA NGAYON.” (Bombs will explode in Ateneo. Surely many students and employees will die. 30 minutes from now).

 I was told at the AGSB faculty lounge yesterday afternoon,  by Ms. Isabelle, a journalism adjunct professor whom I met yesterday.

The QC police and NBI  cleared the area and the University was reopened in the afternoon at 4mp, and the threat was declared a hoax by QC police
