Tangible scrabble = brain power. March 28, 2012. There’s something to be said for the physically tangible.

Distance makes the accent stronger. March 22, 2012. It occurred to me a few months ago that people found stories of my father amusing, largely because I uttered his brilliant quotes in my best imitation of his thick accent. As a child, I learned early that dad’s interpretation of English was not exactly on point, but the ideas still came across. In hearing [.]. Also posted in visualization.

art mediums: audience immersion & performance art
http://peerpixel.com/wordpress/2012/03/art-mediums-audience-immersion-performance-art
Art mediums: audience immersion & performance art. Musical artists playing large venues seems anomalous: what is the point of cramped seating from which to observe the human-to-ant transformation of a favorite artist? Stadium seating with 20,000 capacity hardly has the makings of an intimate experience. But some performers have managed to make the environment audience-inclusive using several technical and visual elements to make things awesome. Case in point: Radiohead. At the Frank Erwin Center.

wordpress is a trip (down the rabbit hole)
http://peerpixel.com/wordpress/2012/03/wordpress-is-a-trip-down-the-rabbit-hole
Wordpress is a trip (down the rabbit hole). That is to say: migrating a simple HTML/CSS blog to WordPress. With a blank theme, is a challenge in the department I find the least joy in. Code, php, CSS, and hacks. All so that users like you can have reliable RSS feeds, comment features, and a cloud tag to brighten even your gloomiest day. A recent Lifehacker post. Or on the RSS icon on the right. The point being: I survived WordPress. So comment away. I can take it. This entry was posted in code. A href= t...

http://peerpixel.com/wordpress/2012/02/award-season-statistics-for-everyone
Award season: statistics for everyone. The Oscars were all a-buzz. Yesterday evening, ushering in a wealth of tweets and posts attributed to the event. Social media is continually playing a larger role in nationwide affairs, making them events to be shared and commented on with Twitter followers and Facebook friends. Notice how the nominees are pictured, and a percentage of winning is attributed to each:. This second example from Flowtown. Whereas 2012 saw a rise in popularity. A change of venue and form...

Rss: young blog, too many tricks. When I started this blog, I had some sense for the possible contents. I think about usability, UI design, and wireframes all day. The realm of interaction, visualization design and technology is sizable. It’s easy to get lost considering which tech and social media tidbits are worth incorporating into a site or blog. What is the easiest way for people to connect to the blog? How do I account for scalability? This entry was posted in code. Who are we designing for? Profil...

Distance makes the accent stronger. It occurred to me a few months ago that people found stories of my father amusing, largely because I uttered his brilliant quotes in my best imitation of his thick accent. As a child, I learned early that dad’s interpretation of English was not exactly on point, but the ideas still came across. In hearing his modifications to words and sentence assembly, I grew to understand his interpretive perspective. Accepting that not everyone has the same background, or the same ...
