Designers Need to Design More

Adaptive Path is one of the companies you want to work for. I’ve frequented their website many times in the past looking at what they are up to and the kind of work they do for inspiration. The very idea of Interaction Designer took root (for me) from this company. Now they are saying [...]

ZenZui: Microsoft’s Zoom-Based Mobile UI

In the far eastern lands of Redmond comes a new start up called ZenZui. It’s for your mobile phone and it’s a different way of accessing your information and media from content providers. Developers also have have a way to build applications to reach out to the public. For what? It could be games, [...]

Applying for Jobs

While I’m still working at my current job at the Center for Environmental Visualization, I started poking around at large companies again. Looking for Interaction Designer or User Interface/Experience Designer at entry level isn’t exactly a common thing. In fact, most cases they have Senior or Director attached somewhere before and/or after the [...]

Back From Cabo San Lucas

I made it home alive. A shirt and designer sunglasses stolen, irritated right eye and an unsettling distain for tequila marks one hell of a trip. That will be explained later. However, knowing the trip was going to be a huge merry-go-round, I soon realized that all I really wanted was to relax and [...]

Home Stretch Baby

Gah! One more to GO!!!

Video: The Inner Life of a Cell

While doing more research on nanomedicine and its social impact, I came across this amazing video visualizing the activities that happen inside our bodies (all the time). It certainly has been a challenge trying to conceptualize the movements on a molecular scale, but this video changed all that. Watching this made sense. I was [...]

February Randoms: Design, School and Ocean’s 13

School > Life
School has been hassling me for my attention and so far it is winning. The drastic contrast between working at my co-op just 2 months ago compared to where I am today with school is insane. While working in the “corporate” world afforded me routine schedules, meeting interesting people, and not [...]

Question: Would You Buy An Apple Cell Phone?

As Macworld quickly approaches, everyone (bloggers) is speculating the probability of an “iPhone” “ApplePhone.” Reports and analysis is coming in about what the feature set may include, various screenshots and mock ups. There’s no point in adding to the noise, and instead, I wanted to ask you a simple question:

Some questions come to [...]
