For those of you still following, my goal is to keep my blog moving throughout the rest of my time in graduate school (almost 2 years.) While I realize that is a big commitment, I’ll shoot for spring semester. Hopefully this blog will be a tool to help me find my area of research. Right […]
Over the semester, I have had a lot of emails I have un-followed. It is almost to the point that I cannot stand them anymore. Recently, I have had some relatively good designed unsubscribed pages within the open sky. I like the fact that it is similar to a lot of mobile interfaces with the […]
Design is the answer. I just read this blog post by one of the founding UI designers at Pinterest (Oh how I love thee.) He talks about how good design is very important and in needs to spread, not just to designers, but the whole company, group, whatever. I totally agree on this and I […]
Holy cow myspace! Check out this video of the new site. And look at this home page: Helloooooo MYSPACE. I never thought I would say that. Ever. Now give me an invite! I have been waiting 5 minutes and haven’t received anything yet. Hopefully I get something soon so I can write my last good/bad […]

If you don’t follow the blog already UX Magazine is a great resource. I actually came across this article from someones Retweet who is a web designer by trade. It is called “Dueling and Design : How fencing and UX are quite alike” and I thought it was a great read. While the writer explains […]
Ok, most men and maybe some women living under a rock might not know what pinterest is. It is essentially a bookmarking site, but it is more visual then the tradition reddit.com. It sorts links, photos, videos into user created boards. Every “pin” (bookmark) has a photo, then others see a stream of pins on […]
