Using Keynote to Create Wireframes Clients will Understand
In the past I have worked with UX professionals that have an incredible grasp on user experience, but they present their work in a highly technical manner that makes it difficult for clients to digest. When we create wireframes for clients at New Ezra the three most important factors are to design...

Day 1
It was a strange night, fuelled by decaf tea and brown sugar. I don’t think sugar acts quite like caffeine as a stimulant, but my mind was buzzing and I ended up lying in bed, tired, and unable to sleep twice in the same night.
I’m so tired. Having weird dreams drains me in some strange way.
AntennaSys Blog - Hey, Hold the Phone!! (Like this…):
I have seen mention of the electrical tape fix, the scotch tape fix, the bumper case fix, even the short-the-other slot fix on various web sites. The important thing to realize is that we are dealing with radio frequency (RF) currents in the antenna, not direct current (DC) as you will find in a flashlight, for example. If you place...

This box of chocolates has amusing quotes.. and guess what, I only realised they were quotes (and not rice paper being extra inside the foil) about halfway through the box.
SingTel, you lied*! Querying SBS Transit’s 74744 service does cost 5¢ per request after all, on top of my outgoing text being deducted from my plan bundle!
Boo.
* for some quantity of lied, and in this context it’s likely to be one hair really mistaken about what the foot is doing

They have filled our heads with all manner of biochemistry, facts, figures and statistics. Most of us can quote them as surely as our own names. We have become deeply familiar with words like ‘antioxidants,’ ‘polyphenols,’ ‘saturated fats,’ ‘omega-3’ and of course, ‘calories.’ But in all this science, we lost our way to the food and our inherent wisdom about what eating means.

Marco.org: Rambling about Verizon:
Apple’s quickly losing ground to Android today for only one reason: the majority of mobile-phone owners in the U.S. (the majority of people in the U.S.) choose their network first and their phone second. The phone selection is nearly an afterthought. They go to the nearest red phone store when their two-year contracts expire and pick out their next phone from...

danieltenner.com — How to lose weight:
Fundamentally, losing weight is extremely simple: eat less than you spend. No diet can side-step this fundamental fact. If you eat a lot less than you spend, you’ll probably lose weight in an unhealthy way (your body will eat through your muscle tissue and even your organs if you push it hard enough – even if you still have fat left). If you eat a little...

From 9am on Monday 21st June, 60 pianos will be available to play across New York City, as part of “Play Me, I’m Yours” — an installation by British artist Luke Jerram who has been touring the project globally since 2008.
Very cool.
Talking Business - In 2 Accidents, BP Ignored Omens of Disaster - NYTimes.com:
Before the Deepwater Horizon tragedy, the greatest oil disaster in American history was the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, which spewed 10.8 million gallons of crude into Prince William Sound in Alaska. (By comparison, the gulf blowout is pouring out that much oil every four or five days.) That experience was searing...
felttip:
I get a lot of people coming up to me who have an idea for an iPhone app and have no idea of how much work it is to implement the idea. I wish they’d spend more time figuring out implementing the idea and less on trying to pitch it to other people.
I’d guess these people have never taken an idea and turned it into a product. I’ve done it many times, it’s a lot of work, and you don’t...

I keep thinking of smart things to say and talk about but when I get home they all run away! I’ve resorted to slowly tapping out snippets on my phone as ticklers, and they do help.
Just threw out recycled a bunch of OpenSUSE 10.2 and Mandriva 2007 spring (wow!) and 2008.0 CDs into coasters. I need more colourful markers!
