respect to GE (as always) Good Experience - Listening with Respect: David Greenberger interviews
long time no blogging...
prompted by this piece by Joel on Software - It's Not Just Usability "an application that does something really great that people really want to do can be pathetically unusable, and it will still be a hit."
so what will be the next napster... i don't think it will be flickr - for all the hype it lacks something (fmm) but at least you can blog pics from there

interLiving - Interactive Thread "INTERACTIVE THREAD is a collection of participatory design methods from a variety of disciplines that span the design process: finding out about users, generating new ideas, and selecting and implementing a design.
Each card describes a specific technique and general instructions, with a design exercise and workspace on the back. The cards can be used individually or in sequence and can be learned quickly and adopted by diverse design teams."

Terrible Twos

"your secret weapon, “You know, I’ve been pondering over that—what do you think?” Why is this the secret weapon? Nothing shows confidence more than the willingness to admit you don't have all the answers. Admitting you don’t have an answer always trumps bullshit."

CITY OF GOD
if you haven't seen this film yet - you really don't know what you are missing - a true masterpiece. see:
BBC - Films - review - City of God (Cidade de Deus)
official site
imdb page - which seems to be down at the mo.

i now have a silly favicon, thanks to Photo Matt's - how-to-create-a-favicon
it should look something like this:
though smaller, of course - only problem is it doesn't show up on Bloglines (which is the reason i created it in the first place...) - oh well, probably something to do with the fact that i use the free blogger service so the icon resides elsewhere. If you know how to fix this - give us a shout -- hy [underscore] de [underscore] sign [at] hotmail [dot] com
it should look something like this:
Giving is Receiving - the hypermedia research centre - University of Westminster
" 'We must rediscover the pleasure of giving: giving because you have so much. What beautiful and priceless potlatches the affluent society will see - whether it likes it or not! - when the exuberance of the younger generation discovers the pure gift.' - Raoul Vaneigem, The Revolution of Everyday Life, Practical Paradise, London 1972, page 70. "
- looks like an interesting book/author
- loads of other writing etc. on the nothingness site
