Monsters Vs Aliens UI Design Joke

“This was one of the clips shown in Nathan Shedroff & Chris Noessel’s talk on SciFi and UI design at Dconstruct’09. They’ve published the talk notes here [18MB PDF].

Generation WE: Video Ethnography

Video is not a new thing for researchers to use as a way to communicate their findings. In fact, video is a fairly common practice to record the quotable moments that help us understand our people better.

The complete opposite to the new law recently in effect on sending SMS text messages while operating a motor vehicle. Simply astounding.

Riding the Wave of Change

Lots of changes are happening around here. Not physically, but here on the web. After overcoming my denial with how broken the experience was around the site, I finally got off my ass to consolidate my pages within Wordpress. After a healthy update to the admin interface, I am now on my way to unified [...]

Just A Thought on Business Culture and Design

Mobile handset companies are trying to position themselves with “iPhone killers” but it’s hard for me to take them seriously. Why?
Because they are a cycle or two behind. While they are catching up with features and throwing in an extra bit or two (see 3G and GPS), companies like Nokia and Apple are already testing [...]
