ui and me: Much Ado About Shoes

http://uiandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/this-was-posted-on-twitter-today.html

Friday, July 10, 2009. Much Ado About Shoes. This was posted on Twitter today: BillPilgrim. The holes in the soles of a lawyer's shoes have become a legal issue during a civil trial in Palm Beach Co http:/ tw8.us/XT. In the article, a lawyer (with, I assume, intact shoes) vehemently insists that the lawyer he is opposing has a great and unfair advantage by virtue of having (and displaying) a hole in his shoe. For the record, most of my shoes look like Adlai's - or worse. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

ui and me: What Would Dewayne and Charlie say?

http://uiandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-would-dewayne-and-charlie-say.html

Monday, July 06, 2009. What Would Dewayne and Charlie say? I didn't design this layout. But I liked it, that is, until I started to hear the persistent voices of my previous boss and of my mentor nudging me to really analyze it. Maybe sometimes hearing voices. Is a good thing. Dewayne was saying "why does it waste so much real estate? And Charlie said "why doesn't it conform to standards? Http:/ mycrains.crainsnewyork.com/smallbiz/.

ui and me: Writing in Books

http://uiandme.blogspot.com/2009/10/writing-in-books.html

Sunday, October 18, 2009. I went to a lecture recently about reading. There was a lot of discussion about annotation. Some people had strong feelings about whether they would/would not buy used books (text books) that were annotated and whether or not their decision would be influenced by whether the annotator was an A or a D student. There was talk about whether people remember the act of annotating or remember something because it was annotated. Means next to an underlined sentence. I value the boo...

ui and me: January 2009

http://uiandme.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 21, 2009. So it's a control issue? Most gadget and software makers don't understand what users want most: Control. Both users and product designers alike talk about user interface (UI) consistency, usability and simplicity, and system attributes like performance and stability. What's missing is that these attributes are means to an end. The real issue is always the user's physiological feeling of being in control. And control comes in many ways: . . .". Links to this post.

ui and me: Satisfying Menu

http://uiandme.blogspot.com/2009/08/satisfying-menu.html

Thursday, August 06, 2009. I love kitchen stuff. From this cascading menu I can shop by product type or by brand name. The categories are easy to read (black text and bullets) and easy to select (good contrast on mouse-over and adequate leading between lines). And, at the bottom of the menu there's a choice that's visually highlighted to view New or Clearance Items. Bakeware page at QVC. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter.

ui and me: This web page will self-destruct in . . .

http://uiandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/users-are-distracted-taunted-in-so-many.html

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. This web page will self-destruct in . . . Users are distracted (taunted? In so many ways today: moving pages, moving pop-ups, pop-ups that can't be closed, messages where OK and Cancel mean the same thing, i.e. Cancel does not in fact cancel. For me, page curl - where the web page appears to be self-destructing by peeling off a layer of its skin (complete with a ripping sound) - is one of the most offensive.
