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 [...]

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 [...]

Edge cases in interaction design

Designing for edge cases takes a lot of time out of the design process, but we don’t have personas to design scenarios around this time. We have a state about which we don’t have any prior body of data or knowledge except our own collective experience and competitive analysis. Of course we can begin with [...]

And so. . . checkout

As used as we are to one-click e-commerce, you never think you will have those conversations around a table with a half dozen people about what if the user wants to add multiple instances of an item, some of which need to be giftwrapped, some of which don’t, and how they will be added to [...]

Updates

Been pretty depressed lately, the kind of depression where you just want to lie in bed and not do anything, but, occasionally you have a good conversation with someone on a plane, like I did this evening with a remarkable young lady who comes up from Kansas City to ride horses in Gilberts, near Elgin, [...]

Picking at WebSphere Commerce 5

I’m unhappy with the way Websphere Commerce 5 handles customer addresses, particularly this quick checkout that comes out of box. Where is the hierarchy. If I delete one will the rest exist or will it maintain referential integrity? Why are there, all of a sudden, three addresses for a consumer, one for their registration profile, [...]
