The Mozilla Labs UX series is really interesting. Great use of community to get ideas for the next generation of the browser. I think they should use something similar to ideaExchange, but that is another issue. One participant is Aza Raskin. He just posted an idea about tabs. However, I…
A long time ago I heard a comment about watches. You can tell alot about someone from the watch they wear. Watches aren’t like clothes where you pick a different outfit every day. It lasts for a while. People pick their watches pretty carefully. The watch reflects the person’s personality. …
Mozilla is a cool insitution. I dig what they are doing. This is a perfect example. They are asking for prototypes or ideas about the future of web browsing. I find many of the ideas interesting and inspiring, but I also find most of them disconnected from real world examples. …
This weekend is just me and the boys. It is not terribly hard, but we are watching way more TV than usual. I am tired and my brain doesn’t work as well. Katie feels this every day. 🙁 We went to the San Mateo County Fair on Friday. It was…
They give these out at Matthew’s preschool for passing a tricycle test. Great smile. He saw it and said, “I’m wearing my monkey shirt there.” Pretty good for a 4 year old.
I have recently fallen in love with a new UI tool for large trees. There are numerous examples of applications that need this. Any application that has a tree on the left with more than 25 nodes would qualify. (Outlook, Salesforce, Marketo, MSDN, Windows File Manager, etc) Additionally, all photo…
Consider the three paths illustrated below. Path A represents perfect software. It takes a long time to build and a long time to debug. However, it is a mature product with zero defects. (Is this a real product??) Anyway, the point is that the user has no issues as he…
Wow, legendary quarterback Brett Farve joins the New York Jets. I am excited and fearful all at the same time. I think the Jets have all of the right ‘talent’ on the field, but will they have the chemistry? Will they stay healthy? A few injuries will tank the whole…
Well, it’s that time of year again where I predict things and get them all wrong. Here we go. Democrat VP Picks. I predict Caroline Kennedy. I think Joe Biden would be solid too. If its Caroline, then Joe will sign on for Secretary of State. Republican VP Picks. Joe…
Beat that.
I rarely login to Feedburner even though I use it for my blog feeds. It’s a good service. I have a very specific critique though about the homepage. Every time I go to their homepage, I look for the button to login. I look all around the page, mostly in…
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 was released on August 21, 2001. It attained a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003. Then IE7 was launched in late 2006 and it began a sharp market share decline. I just checked my Google Analytics (as well as some other sources)…
I installed the Twin Helix PNG Fix and tried to tweak up my site for IE6. I got most of the PNG files taken care of, but not all of them. I need to refactor some of the classes to get it all working right. In general, my approach is…
There are several images in this collection of beautiful feminine illustrations that just stopped me in my tracks. To me, the purpose of art is to evoke emotion or thought. This collection has a wealth of it. Two standouts are the one with the girl spinning a hoop/maze and this…
