Many paths to the top of the (mobile) mountain

Joh Hunt and I are running a workshop at Agile2009 in Chicago at the end of August, called “Many paths to the top of the (mobile)
mountain“. It’s an exploration of constraints within an iterative design process - if you’re interested in mobile, UX, or agile product development, then you might find it of interest.
We’re planning [...]

Film Night: The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces

This event has passed.

This charming 1970s documentary will be appealing to anyone who has an interest in ethnography, urban planning, and, “people-watching” social behaviour in public places. This video has a faded VHS feel to it, but it is perfectly watchable and if anything the aged quality adds to the charm.

    The angst of the user experience designer

    My work is used by millions.
    When the thought first struck the numbers were lower, but I was stunned. I quickly surmised the only way I could retain objectivity and impartiality was to bury this thought, but it wouldn’t leave me alone. I’m hoping that I can now make sense of it by voicing it.
    Of course [...]

    Blank canvas

    We’ve been busy. Not only have we taken on ‘leftie number nine, but we’ve also moved into larger studio. Obviously this means higher overheads, which takes careful thought in the middle of a recession, but it also means (amongst other things) we finally have wall space.
    A blank wall is an invitation to a designer. As [...]

    Jeff Atwood on Spit and Polish, Usability and Stack Overflow

    Jeff Atwood is one of those rare developers who has a real passion for UI design and User Experience. In his most recent post regarding Stack Overflow he says some interesting things about usability. The post has an incendiary title (”Code: it’s trivial”) but that’s not the interesting bit. Here a quote:
    “Developers think cloning [...]

    Method vs Methodology.

    The word “methodology” has a bit more gravitas than “method” doesn’t it. Sounds more sciency. Packs more punch in a research document.
    Well, that’s sort of true, if you don’t mind completely misusing the term. “Method” and “Methodology” mean completely different things. This is what dictionary.com has to say about the matter:
    “[...] In recent [...]

    A quick look at Shaun Inman’s Fever

    Fever is a new feed-reader from Shaun Inman, the guy who created Mint (The self-hosted analytics app, not the finance site). The concept of Fever is pretty clever – it parses your RSS feeds and works out which articles are the most popular. The UI uses a heat metaphor extensively, and as far as I [...]

    UX London in review

    What a week. Turning thirty is an event on its own, without the hard work of running and speaking at a major conference. However, either despite or because of the stress, UX London was a fantastic experience and one I can’t wait to repeat. Due to hurried tweaking of my slides I missed several workshops, [...]
