Kid Pix - simplicity in software
http://pixelpoppin.com/kidpix/ Craig Hickman has some great UI principles he used when developing the first version of Kid Pix.  Its interesting to note that these were developed as a result of observations of how his three year old son interacted with MacPaint. Kid Pix was one of the first computer programs I used in my life and heavily influences how I think about software today.  That is, I...

Your Users’ Mental Models So, how do we solve this dilly of a pickle? Let’s start with what we know. Users must have a mental model of computers; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to use them at all. However, the scope of this mental model covers, say, user interface widgets and probably some landmark- or list-based navigation.

“I’d assume that Buffet’s thought process - correct in my opinion - is that having a fancy website won’t get him anything, and will only cost him money to create and maintain. Unlike most companies, Warren Buffet doesn’t care if you buy his stock. The last close of BRK.A is at $99,000 and has an average volume of about 800 - meaning that if you hold that stock,...

So... About that Microsoft store
Recently I’ve been interested in Microsoft’s foray into the retail world.  Having a place where one can go and check out all of Microsoft’s products sounded pretty neat.  I’ve previously written about recent Microsoft and I believe that retail stores are a step in the right direction.  Showcasing the spectrum of devices and services that are under the Microsoft umbrella,...

Recent Microsoft
A lot of people lately have been pleasantly surprised by the quality technology coming from Redmond.  From the early betas of Windows 7, the Zune HD, Bing search, and now the series of awesome announcements at this years E3.  Its evident that Microsoft is still very much in the game.  I’ve always read “death of microsoft”/”the end of microsoft” writeups around the...
