4月23日 It’s the little things that make a BIG difference......How true this is when you consider 5 star brands! Here’s just a few examples of the luxurious little touches that we were treated to in Dubai. The pillow menu:
The jogging route; complete with map, water and sweatband:
Oh, not forgetting a choice of steak knife at the steak house! 4月16日 Navigating through time and 3D space...OK, so this may seem like a blatant excuse to showoff the latest scan of junior, (Insert SCAN.JPG here)
...but it was really amazing to watch the nurse using the scanner like a mouse in her right hand and the dashboard, (see ulatrasound machine), with her left. She navigated through space and time, moving her right hand around 'the bump' and then zoomed into the womb using a jog-dial on the dashboard, it was fascinating to watch. I wonder how long it will be before the windowed environment that we use on our desktop PCs evolves into this kind of experience?

4月8日 Form VS Function...Most designers will be familiar with the form VS function conundrum, but this weekend it was at the front of my mind; whilst my mum's cottage in Kent is beautifully FORMED, the low beams proved extremely non-FUNCTIONAL.
10月3日 The broom cupboard...Our lo-tech room in Redmond, Dr. Neil has found himself a new 'set of wheels'! 10月1日 Stuff I have discovered so far on this trip...- Lora Heiny is a super smart and refreshingly fun person, check out her blog: http://www.whatisnew.com/
- The ipod 'touch', is a superb user-experience, it has set the benchmark for touch-screen user interfaces.
- All apple stores have sold-out of the ipod 'touch'.
- 'Pecking' is the slang term for 'tapping-out' a message with a stylus on a mobile device.
- If your bedroom has a fridge/ freezer in it, pack earplugs.
Arrived in Redmond, Seattle...After a busy day's shopping yesterday, I finally arrived at Microsoft today.
Dr. Neil and I made some great progress on our latest project, we're working out of the hotmail building today...
9月13日 Mix UK Had a fantastic time at Mix UK, I think that it was a big WIN for everybody involved. Dr. Neil and I really enjoyed our session on experience design...
I've uploaded all of our photos to facebook, I guess you'll have to make friends with me if you want to see them ;-)

With a lot of hard work from the whole team, but especially Dr. Neil, we have massively improved the website in time for Mix, Microsoft’s premier web design/ development event on Tuesday 11th-Wednesday 12th September. We really hope to see you at the event, I especially hope that you will visit the ‘community’ area that we are supporting, and more importantly attend my session on ‘Branding’ and ‘User Experience’ on the Wednesday ;-) 9月7日 dconstruct sitting in dconstruct, enjoying a session on community featuring George Oates and Denise 9月3日 Expression tutorials on Lynda.comAs we've actually started working on commercial WPF and Silverlight projects, I took some time out this afternoon to brush-up on my blend skills! You can currently access hours of 'Blend' and 'Design' tutorials at Lynda.com, for FREE! I highly recommend them as a 'getting started' guide. 'Soft' launch of screenedit.comThis weekend we have opened the doors to screenedit.com, please vist the site as this is where I will be focussing my blogging energy in the approaching months. Introducing screenedit: Screenedit is the magic antidote for designer's block. As designers, you understand that interaction design is not about pushing pixels around a screen, it is imperative to 'create a place'. We have created 'a place' for designers to find both inspiration and peer approval. We believe that Screenedit is the only creative network that adds real value. We promise to look at technology objectively and is focus on the people and their philosophies. At its core Screenedit provides an arena to discuss interaction design. Our goals We will interview the evangelists of our industry and ask them: 'What does interaction design mean to you?' We will create a resource that uncovers the meaning of interaction design and user experience. We will encourage discussion, we believe that everybody's opinion matters. Be sure to contact us and submit something today! What makes you unique?These days most major brands are converging towards the 'middle ground' - here's an opportunity to think differently... See if you can fill in the blanks: ____________ is the only ____________ that ____________ ie: 'Dyson' is the only 'filter-free vaccuum cleaner' that has a 'cyclone'. |
