“It is hard to be understood: especially when one thinks and lives gangastrotogati among men who think and live otherwise, namely kurmagati or at best ‘as the frog goes’, mandeikagati — I am certainly doing everything I can to be hard to understand myself! — and one ought to be heartily grateful even for the will to some subtlety in interpretation.” - Timothy Greig

"To compensate for the drawbacks of traditional wireframes, many practitioners put aside the computer in favor of simple pencil sketches or whiteboard drawings. This speeds up the ideation process, but doesn’t always produce presentable or maintainable documentation. There is a growing popularity toward something in the middle: Computer-based sketchy wireframes. These allow computer wireframes to look more like quick, hand-drawn sketches while retaining the reusability and polish that we expect from digital artifacts." - Timothy Greig

I always recommend not listening to any of the spiel from the brand and logo designers when a new logo is introduced. Forget about the rhetoric – what does this look like? What does it look like upside down? What will engineers and other cynics say about it? What does it look like to those with dirty minds? How does it make you feel? - Timothy Greig

"As Richard Farson’s truism “no one smokes in church no matter how addicted” points out, context informs almost everything that happens in an environment. Online social experiences are no exception. How a product’s social model is set up can impact not only who contributes, but how much, and why. From permission-based subscriptions to one-click follows, Luke will discuss the attributes and implications of several popular social models by looking at data and behavior in the Web’s most popular social applications." - Timothy Greig

"As the name suggests, the 5-Second Test involves showing users a single content page for a quick 5 seconds to gather their initial impressions. Five seconds may not seem like a lot of time, but users make important judgments in the first moments they visit a page. This technique unveils how those judgments turn out, giving the team insight into some essential information about the page." - Timothy Greig

"The statistic that really jumped out for us, however, was that in September 2009, the average U.S. Internet user spent an estimated 68 hours online (both at home and at work). Although that still trails television usage by a significant margin, it’s clear that the Internet is carving out a greater and greater role in our lives each month. In addition to spending an average of 68 hours online, the average user visits nearly 2700 websites and averages 57 seconds per site. For the larger web brands, users spend an average of 1 hour 53 minutes a month on Google (Google), 3 hours 8 minutes on Yahoo and 5 hours 24 minutes on Facebook (Facebook). The usage study compliments another Nielsen report issued yesterday that reported a 25% increase in online video viewing year-over-year." - Timothy Greig

This is the dreamshed category, but it could just as easily be a post I'd like to post as a dreamshed link. - Timothy Greig

could make a #wanderings post about finding a QR code here in the packet, and my sudden awareness of QR codes in the urban environment since getting an iphone. I'd like to see more pasted up around wellington, and I'd like to post one up myself... (there's also something in there about never seeing something, till you're looking for it, then it's everywhere- changing your perception through your focus) - Timothy Greig
