Don’t Make Me Think
(June 7th, 2011 by Ian)I’m reading Don’t Make Me Think right now; I’ll let you know what I think. In the meantime, any other UX books I should pick up? I’ve heard good things about Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks.

“We have to go back”
(April 14th, 2011 by Ian)I’m going to try to update this blog more often (certainly more than now, that’s for sure), even if nobody is reading. I think I’d like to change my focus to be a little more from “let me show you this thing I like” to more of a “for the sake of posterity this should be on my blog”. I don’t think that means anything, actually. A few updates for the sake of posterity: I topped off my dating relationship with my amazing girlfriend/hero Bethany by getting engaged (exciting!), I’m going to graduate in May (also exciting, but not as much) and I’m getting connected in the start up world here in beautiful Boulder, CO (pretty neato). I’ve got a side project called 10kHrs online at http://ten-khrs.heroku.com and I’m proud of it so far. I’ve done some projects that are definitely worth putting online at some point, so that’ll happen some day.
Also, here’s a poster that Scott Hansen (AKA Tycho AKA ISO50) recently made:
I think it’s fantastic.

A while ago in my Takashi Murakami post, I said that I wanted to make a post about Tekkonkinkreet, which is an animated Japanese. The plot is pretty neat, which is nice. The film provides an interesting commentary on capitalism and is a great narrative about what it means to be a kid. But the real appeal for me is the overwhelmingly gorgeous visuals. Tekkonkinkreet was directed by Canadian Michael Arias, which is weird for a Japanese film, but you can see why they allowed a foreigner to take the helm.
