It’s not extra time, it’s a shift in time

Lyn­dal Cur­tis’ com­men­tary on the recent Media 140 con­fer­ence in Syd­ney sug­gests she’s not done her home­work. Despite admit­ting to being some­thing of a geek, early adopter and rich social media user, she asks where we find the time and if we’re miss­ing out on talk­ing with big chunks of soci­ety. Has she not con­nected the change in her own activ­i­ties with par­al­lels amongst those she writes for? Lyn­dal, did you not read Here Comes Every­body? Or at least read or watched some of my dop­pel­ganger, Clay Shirky’s pub­lic speak­ing? Do you not check the Pew Inter­net and Amer­i­can Life Project? Maybe even read some of danah boyd’s work on the rich online lives of teens? For an estab­lished and respected jour­nal­ist like Lyn­dal, that sug­gests lazy research.

Sadly, most of my friends aren’t geeks, so would have no idea what it is. Thus, no invite for me (suck, suck, suck). For those who care, I WILL get back to the “Bas­tard Child…” series next week. We have two major Mach-​​​​II site roll­outs this week, so we’ve been a touch busy.

Icons make for good interfaces

Posted on August 21, 2006 by Stephen Collins in Posts | Comments Off

Never thought I’d pre­fer a fea­ture of WiMP over iTunes, espe­cially now I’m a dyed-​​​​in-​​​​the-​​​​wool Mac con­vert. How­ever, good design is good design no mat­ter where it occurs. Rich Ziade at Base​ment​.org has a post dis­cussing the intel­li­gent use of iconog­ra­phy (more or less) as an aid to visual under­stand­ing and boost­ing of user expe­ri­ence. Smart stuff.
