Virtual closet in destination cities saves time, effort?

Heard about FlyLite, the virtual closet company, on NPR’s MarketPlace yesterday. Is it worth the money? Well, I do travel enough weekly that I could spend the money, $100 a trip, on stashing my clothes in some place in advance, except I don’t consult in Boston, Philly, DC, or New York, because my time could [...]

Monocle

I’ve just twigged to this newish magazine, Monocle, through a series of videos on city design at the International Herald Tribune, one of my favorite designed readings on the net.
Look at this gorgeous modernism that does not use sans serif type for its headers. It’s simply beautiful. I can even forgive the black background [...]

The users’ anthem?

Carbon dating myself here, but I propose it is the 1982 hit, “Destination Unknown,” by Missing Persons. (”At #17. I’m Casey Kasem.”)
Life is so strange
When you don’t know
How can you tell
Where you’re going to?
You can’t be sure of any situation
Something could change
And then you won’t know
Where do we go from here?
It seems so all [...]

The Armano Effect

As we close out June, check out this graph of subscribers over time. The red line indicates the day David Armano blogged me on Logic + Emotion. The decline? Well, likely due to me blogging about every other thing but work, really.

Thanks for the traffic, David. It’s nice to be validated.

We’re hiring. A lot, in fact.

Shameless plug for the company.
If you are a user experience professional or information architect in or around Boston, Cleveland, and Chicagoland and are looking for a great place to work, I’d recommend you link up with us at Brulant. Here’s a job description for the UX and IA roles. It’s a fast moving firm [...]

Camino 1.5, Safari for Windows, OS X Leopard

and features RSS support among a long list of fixes and enhancements. Can’t believe I missed it last week. It’s Awesome. I wonder if Sage integrates with it.
Why do we use Camino. It’s faster than anything else on the Mac platform and stays out of the way of the browsing experience, generally.
Speaking of [...]

Google Maps Street View

Not everything is in there right now, but it’s enough to be impressive to show what is possible. I just grabbed a snap of the place I used to live at near Hell’s Kitchen. Hardly anything resembling its sobriquet now, and certainly wasn’t that way the winter of ‘01.

I like the Flash/AJAX integration. I [...]

Readership on this blog

Mint tells me that we’re topping 12,000 visitors since it was installed!
(Mostly non-repeat visitors. Only 4600 repeaters.)

And this graph by the newly branded Google Feedburner tells me that we’re on the up and up, ever since that hiccup in February or so when I upgraded and left the tags off the template that tell Feedburner [...]

Are IAs really actually part of an FA/BA team? Are engineers really to blame for bad IxD?

What if information architects are, in fact, the ura to the omote, or the nage to the uke, of the functional/business analyst team? Just throwing this out there. Pardon the pun.
Are engineers really to blame for bad interaction design and information architecture? Or is it more the case that the IAs/IxDs really didn’t penetrate [...]
