September 28, 2009 at 2:00 pmI’m not sure where this term originated but I’m going to give credit to Mike Duff (http://www.simpleadaptation.com/) among the people I know he’s the guy who popularized the term.

Sometimes the middle is the crappy thing. Sometimes the outside is. The term works either way since the corn is really no better than the dog anyway.

September 28, 2009 at 2:00 pmAbsolutely fantastic. I’ve been having to do this for the past year and a half. Had no idea there was a term for it.
Beautiful.

September 28, 2009 at 2:00 pmFigures Mike Duff would coin “corndogging”. Why am I not surprised?

September 28, 2009 at 2:00 pmI did first hear this from Mike Duff but it has since come to cover anytime you wrap one thing in another without disturbing the functionality. In the end - you have something that works but is some kind of compromise just to get by.

September 28, 2009 at 2:00 pm@Kyle, I actually freestyled this one in illustrator so there are no sketches, just some weird vector shapes.
@Dan, LOL, yep that’s where I got it too, I remember that conversation like it was yesterday, I think I choked on my water when I heard that. I asked Vince and he told me he got it from Mike.

September 28, 2009 at 2:00 pmHahahaa!
I first heard it from vince. I asked him a question, and he was like “CORNDOG IT MAN!”
