Mobile Texting in New Delhi

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 [...]

Apple Announces New iPods, Commercializing Touch Interfaces

Okay, so the new iPods are out, and they are hot (minus the nano, sorry). Wireless iTunes. Ringtones. 8GB iPhones get a $200 price cut. Starbucks partnership. So while everyone is getting their knickers in a bunch for whatever reason, this announcement brings many compelling questions to mind:

Since graduting from the wonderful University of Washington, everything seemed to just cruise along. I’ve moved back home over on the east side and it [...]

A Little Portfolio Demonstration

Created with Paul’s flickrSLiDR.
A lot of people don’t know exactly what I do. What is Informatics? What is Interaction Design? You’re artsy fartsy (wrong, but I do love art, and especially great design). So on and so forth. Well it occurred to me that while I have spent my long summer hours [...]

iPhone Technology Visualized

It’s not often that you find informtion about how technology really works with uber nerdy device, or how it all seamlessly works together, in a simple way without all the text. Well I just stumbled upon Apple’s iPhone site again after reading about their new announcement on battery life and their move to glass from [...]

Observation: Increase in DSLR Market

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice the growing DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) community? I’m just sitting here at Cafe on the Ave and I think I just saw four different people with DSLR cameras. Three of them had entry level cameras: Canon EOS 400D and the Nikon 40Dx; while [...]
