Beautiful Application Design

By admin | Published: March 31, 2009

When you talk to designers about “application design” there seems to be an invisible box created that immediately gets filled with assumptions. Overly beveled. Tons of chrome. Boring. All too often, whether because of application bloat, feature creep or simply inelegant & unimaginative solutions, designs for applications end up looking like they were stamped out [...]

You Don’t Get It

By admin | Published: March 23, 2009

My Favorite Rolling Stone Author, Matt Taibbi, has a fantastic (and fantastically long) article on the financial crisis; where we are, how we got here and where we’re going. Here’s a snip: The most galling thing about this financial crisis is that so many Wall Street types think they actually deserve not only their huge [...]

Steven Johnson Killing It Some More

By admin | Published: March 17, 2009

Steven Johnson is my favorite writer. Interface Culture was a seminal read for me in college, as was Emergence. When The Ghost Map came out, hyper-local content was the buss term du jour.

It Does Look Generic

By admin | Published: March 8, 2009

It Does Look Generic, originally uploaded by victor.brunetti. I was a big fan of the redesign because I like the clean almost international-style aesthetic. However I do have to admit that it DOES look like a generic brand next to the competitors (the biggest complaint of the redesign). I think it has to do with [...]

Bad News for MTV

By admin | Published: March 5, 2009

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the MTV paradox, which is, they are (or were depending on which letter is next to your “gen-” label) the first name that comes to mind when people think music videos.

Not A Fanboy, But…

By admin | Published: March 3, 2009
