03/13/2003 10:16 AMOk. Next year I want to be a Best Gay Chap
nominee again. Do you understand me? I'm not satisfied with just being
known for my design skills. I want to be the world's best homo. I know
I don't talk about it very much, but that's just because being gay is
really boring, not because I'm not any good at it. I'm really
good at it. I'm the Leonardo Da Vinci of Big Gay Shit. Am I convincing
anyone? I should stick to talking about weblogs really. At least then
I know what I'm talking about...
- Jonno's Cute Dead
Guy of the Week
My personal favourite has to be Louis Lingg, who was not only an
anarchist and really hot, but also blew himself up in jail by
putting a bomb in his mouth. You don't get much cooler than that.
- Christina Aguilera's Beautiful video [real: lo | med | hi]
You know when pop-stars can be as sensitive as this, it's almost worth
having them exploit our pain to sell records! I hope she gets another
really big house. I really do.
- Diesel
Sweeties' tasteful take on gay lovin'
"I am an eccentric millionaire. Indie-Rock Pete, I will pay you for
eccentric gay sex experimentation."
- Soccer Practice
by Gay Pimp
This utterly terrible song about hot soccer jocks is mostly
entertaining for its dodgy gay subversion of 'ho'-centred rap/pop
videos. Also partially entertaining for taking the piss out of sporty
straight-boys. Warning: Quite rude, ungodly and just plain wrong.

02/01/2005 09:43 PMAnother one of the key people around the birth of XML has joined the
conversation. This time it’s
Dave Megginson,
who’s best known as the chief designer of SAX, but has made
contributions large and small all over the universe of
descriptive
markup. Interestingly,
one of his first entries calls for a key
simplification to
XLink, one
of the best XML ideas never to have hit the big-time. Within an hour
of reading David’s suggestion, which is of course excellent, I ran
across Norm Walsh
holding forth on the
same subject; apparently, chances are XLink will become more
lightweight, which would be A Good Thing and might change the world,
slightly.
Saturday Night Linkage...
Saturday Night Linkage...
03/13/2003 10:16 AMI'm still reeling from writing that last post in a blast of
confused and desperate-to-get-it-out-there enthusiasm. And I
still have no idea whether it's total bunk or not. So I'm going to
throw out my linklog for the evening and leave it at that. Tomorrow I
may write about any of the following things that have been going on:
- Giving a statement to the police about my burglar;
- Getting tickets to see The Bangles live in concert;
- Spotting Jake Gyllenhaal in Chalk Farm tube;
But all that's for tomorrow. Tonight, you must simply accept
limited microcontent votage with a little snide commentary. This is
what's going down:
- Google's Memory
Upgrade
The relationship between Google/Blogger and the Memex as explored by
Steven Johnson. And in the process, Mr Webb's t
houghts are referenced.
- Let them
hate as long as they fear
"So oderint dum metuant it is. I could talk about the foolishness of
such blatant bullying — or about the incredible risks, in a
multiethnic, multiracial society, of even hinting that one might
encourage a backlash against Hispanics."
- We
blogs are all blah blah blah
From the people who brought you, "God, isn't it annoying how
the world is still round?!" and "Don't you find it infuriating how
light, you know, works?!"
- Camino 0.7 is
released
Only interesting to those of you with OSX of course. Camino is the new
name for the browser-previously-known-as-Chimera.

03/13/2003 10:16 AMYou know, really, if you think about it, it's totally ok just to
steal links from Popdex, Blogdex and Daypop because you're still only
going to steal the good links and that helps everything
self-filter even more effectively. Or something...
More later in the day when I've had another stab at finishing my
long piece on weblogs as conversation.

06/05/2005 11:27 PMThe "blog as propaganda and sales-n-promotion" phenomena is growing
and only going to get worse. The issue at hand is our policy on not
allowing links to blogs. The main focal point is that of trust and
accuracy. While blogs can provide incredible vehicles to staying
informed, they also pose a risk of misinforming us.

12/23/2002 10:55 AMNot everyone has time to conduct a formal usability study, or the
money to invest in a full blown usability initiative, and frankly,
lots of times that might not be the best option anyway. Sometimes a
designer or developer needs that one-on-one, maker-to-user interface.
Gorilla Usability will show you some ways to get to know your users in
a real world, out-from-behind-the-glass kind of way.

Guidelines for Visualizing Links: A lot of really good guidelines
for hyperlink usability that really boil down to one point: do links
the way HTML was built to handle them and you won't have any problems.
Ninety-nine percent of usability problems on the Net are a result of
people trying to get cute.
Don't underline any text that's not a link, even if your
links aren't underlined. Reserve underlining for links. Because
underlines provide a strong perceived affordance of clickability,
users will be confused and disappointed if underlined text doesn't
have an actual affordance to match this perception.

The book begins with a chapter of precise guidelines that serve as
a checklist of the features and functionality to include on your home
page. The specifics found in categories such as "revealing content
through examples" and "graphic design" will quickly hook you and whet
your appetite for more. These guidelines are followed up with hard
statistics and an examination of the ominous Jakob's Law: "Users spend
most of their time on other sites than your site." Here you'll find
some interesting statistics about how various conventions like search,
privacy policies, and logos are used.
All this leads up to the showcase element of the book--a systematic
deconstruction of 50 of the most popular home pages on the Web. The
authors painstakingly pick apart each in an uncompromising autopsy of
usability. Each site is graphically analyzed for its use of real
estate and summarized with the frankness only found from true experts.
Then each section of the home page is bulleted and analyzed for
potential improvements.
