BlogmapperTM- map your blog and blog your map
~wouldn't this be a great idea for a community blog? you could have different icons for different types of entries (graffiti, haunts, rubbish dump, etc.)
i must check some of Matthew Chalmers's papers (not just his review of where the action is). He is Reader in Computer Science and Research Co-Director of the (newly formed) Kelvin Institute, probably
brilliant idea - yet to be fully executed - but it is a start Geowiki - wanted to add some stuff about nunhead - but the map doesn't show the area in detail, so have nw way of knowing where to click...

Trash Your Desktop
"Chandler [...] takes the core functions of [...] personal information management programs and integrates them with the rest of your PC and the Internet. All the information you need to complete a given task or project is grouped on-screen, organized around the one function—e-mail—Kapor sees as the central conduit of our electronic lives.
[...] its logical context—displaying all related items together—and not in the separate folders and application windows of the traditional desktop computer system, you can think of it as a new way into your computer."
it seems there are interesting parallels between Chandler and ZOË

Non-Traditional UI: Special Issue of HCI editted by Paul Dourish and Tom Moran [2001]

--for some reason bloglet sent out an unpublished (test) post yesterday - so excuse the non-sense (if you got it)
am amused by all the navel gazing going on ammoungst the blogging fraternity - are 'we' like DJ's - part of a tribe - or simply loud mouths?

Just a quick namecheck (and link of course) to bloglet - which seems to be working very well - sends a reasonably nicely formatted digest as html mail (so you don't miss the title pop-ups - as you do in some email-blogs - or even the links as you do in bloglines :-(
So if you wanna not have to come back here then why not subscribe - add your email to the text box on the left and 'hey presto' (I'll be waiting to see if you do... ;-)

Half Sisters ~a brief 'conversation' about namespaces (clashing)
"I thought I'd mention why I don't do hierarchy on my wiki.
I see wiki as a place where people work out the names of things that they will say. Since our spoken vocabulary is small, we must struggle to find words that carry value commensurate with the space they consume in our brains. Where works collide in wiki they will also collide in our thoughts. Usually that is a happy circumstance. "

Turning the Pages on the web including recently Leonardo Notebook
- interesting from a usability perspective - uses a drag (psuedo 3d) page turning gimmick which is a bit of a pain (to say the least) - so much easier to just click, or even use the keyboard! [ala thisisamagazine] (you could even show the animation of the page turning - or alternatively trigger the turn with a smaller movement) - I have seen this technique somewhere else recently, where it seemed to work more smoothly and to better effect, but cannot remember where...
- the contents interesting though (in L's reverse mirror writing - which can be reflected and maginified)

Find Me - by Matt Bloom.

new article on GUUUI - Balancing visual and structural complexity in interaction design "For people with little experience in interaction design it's tempting to equate visual simplicity with usability. But there is more between heaven and earth than meets the eye. The Q4 issue of GUUUI takes a look at some common pitfalls, where studies have proven that what appears to be simple isn't always what is easy to use."
think I have set up the bloglet thing now - see subscription box on the left - but as I am not sure exactly what it is supposed to do, thought I'd better test it - hence this post (so sorry for the waste of space)

Don't
define
tasks
beforehand
- rather, discover what the tasks you should be analysing are, by talking to the people who are performing them - so the task is context specific - i.e. listen to the user first!
