I love it when you get the sense that developers/designers are using and responding to their own products. A few weeks ago, there was a little UI update to the Facebook iPhone app which came across as evidence that some designer or developer at Facebook really, intimately understands how the application is being used – [...]

How Small Screens Make Things Better

I’ve been through a variety of weather apps for the iPhone. They all do pretty much the same thing, so it’s really just a matter of the small design and interaction elements. For a while I have been using the Accuweather app which has a nice interface, mixing relatively clean graphics and images. I like [...]

Day one of Blackboard World 2010 is in progress. My first surprise was the initial keynote. Greg Mortenson, author of “Three Cups of Tea”, and creator of a foundation that has been building schools in Afghanistan.
