The Tipping Point - A book every information designer should read

I recently read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and must say it has had a profound impact on how I see information design and the world in general. It is the concept that little things make a big difference or “tip” an idea, concept, or product from mediocre to widespread adoption. The book is filled [...]

Usability testing on the mac - Tools & tips

I’ve been doing a lot of usability testing on the mac lately and have learned a lot from it. One of the best things I’ve learned is that even though the mac is the most expensive computing platform, it is the cheapest to conduct a quality usability test on.

Though I still don’t quite understand what the buzz is all about yet, he recently found and used their polling feature that I [...]

Kailash however has discovered a slick [...]

Gibberish application messages…

I updated my copy of Adium instant messenger today, and after it installs, it presents me with this message: After reading it, i had no idea what to do. The question starts out “Do you want to allow access…” and the action buttons are “change/dont change”. I knew that one button would probably grant the new [...]

It’s been pretty quiet here…
