A Matter of Trust

By admin | Published: July 22, 2009

Reading Design Mind and came across this: According to the Chicago Booth/Kellogg School Financial Trust Index from April 8, trust in business has reached unprecedented lows, with only 10% of Americans now saying they trust large corporations. My question is: Are we supposed to? Ultimately the article goes on to explain that consumers’ trust of [...]

Via the NYT Today: Once ESPN establishes itself in local markets, it plans to move deeper into local sports — down to the high school level and perhaps beyond — by using social networking and other technology to inform its journalism. Sounds familiar (Steven Johnson, Old Growth Media And The Future Of News): Measured by [...]

Well Articulated and On-Point

By admin | Published: July 19, 2009

I’m reading a fine line, how design strategies are shaping the future of business, by Hartmut Esslinger. The following quote struck me: Although few corporations mirror the smooth operations spelled out in their press releases, the internal discord that results from a lack of shared vision at the leadership level can destroy a company’s coordinated [...]

On Objectivity & Self Awareness

By admin | Published: July 15, 2009

No this isn’t some treatise by Jean-Paul Sartre. I was reading my morning dose of thought-leadership-tagged blog feeds and came across an article in Fast Company: Beyond Design, 10 Skills Designers Need to Succeed Now. I usually gloss over these because they’re inevitably formulaic and a little trite, but I stopped this morning because we [...]

Saw Matthias Dittrich’s portfolio on lookom and wanted to link it up. Nothing too crazy here but I really like it. The simplicity of the layout and the interactions – particularly the dragability of everything – kind of gives the site an environmental/tactile feel. Check it out:

Check out this awesome new site about the Apollo 11 mission. It’s the reason why microsites should exist. There’s tons of little interactive elements to explore and learn about the Apollo 11 mission.

Inspired by a recent post on Mulvey’s Blog, I plunked down $2.99 for the iPhone Pano App. My biggest complaint with the app isn’t the “cancel” button verbiage (as Michael points out) – though that is hella-confusing – it’s with how Apple handles images in your phone’s library that are bigger than the resoluiton offered [...]

Update: After shipping the broken watch back to Phosphor and a few weeks of back-and-forth with customer support, I now have a functioning replacement. 3 months later… My awesome phosphor watch. Just over one month old. Dead. RIP. I got so many compliments on the watch. From the highly readable display, to the funky time-telling [...]

Google intends to rely on help from the community of open-source programmers to develop the Chrome operating system, which is expected to begin running computers in the second half of [...]
