NYT Video Segments
The New York Times does a fantastic job of providing just the right detail in just the right way to keep me engaged and informed. Not seeing this same kind of effort from big TV, online or otherwise.

EMC Consulting wins UX Solution of the Year at FASTForward 2009
Congrats to our UK sister-team for developing this Surface/Silverlight solution as an interface to FAST search technology . The application shown here is is live, not a hollywood-set demo. Each gesture interaction triggers a live query back to a FAST server in Boston.
We’re looking forward to more opportunities to work with Surface and Silverlight.

Effective Dashboard Design
I was sorry to miss Aaron Hursman’s “Effective Dashboard Design” presentation last week at Refresh Dallas. Thankfully the slides are on Slideshare , and the live presentation is available via Ustream .
Looks like Aaron shared lots of good principles for data visualization and provided great examples.

The Design Looks Like A Heather But Sounds Like Tom Waits
The question then becomes, is a positive response to good design natural or learned? Is it instinctual or intellectual? Steve Krug in his book, “Don’t Make Me Think!” has stated (and I paraphrase) if the user is taking the time to think then the usability of the design should be questioned. That said…could good design exist outside of usability and if so does the lack of usability devalue the design or relegate it to–design for design’s sake?
