Awesome notebook sleeves and bags

Sigh.. can’t wait to get my macbook. Only then can i get these awesome accessories.

until then, I live with my crippled TiBook with its half-dead hard drive. The incessant clicking is driving me nuts!?

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon – Palm Pre (3/9/09)

A visual tour of Camera Interfaces

Wow, great resource. I don’t see enough of these articles online. Mostly they’re just about the web. Kudos Engadget!

I wonder why Kodak’s digital cameras aren’t up there. I own one, and their IA is great (I’m refeerring to the non-touch screen UI; the touch screen one needs work)!

IDEO’s featured work page rocks

I love how this page looks.

The design of the page showcases the content, not the design of the page.

Clicking through the rest of IDEO’s website, I find the purpose of the design is to convey the personality of the company.

The homepage itself seems to send out the message “welcome to a day in the life of IDEO”, the purpose wanting to immerse (maybe overwhelm) visitors in the plethora of myriad conversations that take place there.

Pages like these make me wanna go back to web work :)

Only ____ ___ good stuff

great ad :)

So my hard drive died…

…and with it I’ve lost the last 1 year of my digital life.

Backing up is such a pain in the ass, and I don’t do it often enough. I’ve been putting off my macbook purchase for sometime now, but when I get it, I just might get the new Time Capsule as well.

When shit happens, its an avalanche. With the dental implant looming next week, there just isn’t enough money to go around all these issues.

silver lining, where are yoooooou?

One question for the UX community…

Flexible Touchscreen E-paper Signals the Rise of Touchscreens Everywhere

Why am I excited about this? I can’t put my finger on it. Siftables is much more natural, I’d say; maybe it’s because of the seemingly limitless surfaces interfaces could be retrofitted on.

I feel soooo behind…

As I prepare for some talks and workshops, this tool has been indispensable for getting the video clips I need on YouTube.

To think people have been doing this for years!
