Surprisingly irksome airline behavior 04/11/2005 03:44 AM
I'm on the first of three trips to Phoenix over the next eight days, for three unrelated events at which I'm speaking. Weird. On the America West ride from Boston, the guy in the seat ahead of me was surprisingly annoying. He was about my age (115+) but he rocked in his seat like a 5 year old. And for much of the trip he sat with his hands clasped behind the top of his seat. They were lovely hands — pale, freckled, soft red hair. But they were 4 inches from my face. I didn't have the nerve to...

Reuters - U.S. employers added a paltry 32,000 workers to payrolls last month, the government said on Friday in a report far weaker than expected that will come as unwelcome news for President Bush ahead of the presidential election.

Surprisingly, a Nice Biz Week Story on
Spectrum 12/12/2003 03:13 PM
It seems like the major business pubs are usually far behind when they run stories about technological innovation: But this Business Week story does a nice job of looking at the inefficient way that spectrum is used today. The story describes smart antennas, mesh networks, and software-defined radios as technologies that can make better use of existing spectrum in the future. I'm surprised, however, that the writer didn't mention ultrawideband technology because it's a technology that doesn't require just one specific frequency band....

iPod battery swap surprisingly easy

iPod battery swap surprisingly easy 09/08/2004 09:45 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Plenty of people have swapped a new battery into their iPod, so the fact that I did it, too, is nothing new. But the fact that someone as clumsy as I am did it in about ten minutes without destroying the iPod is surprising. If you're as fumbled fingered as I am and have been afraid to open your iPod, I hope this gives you the courage to take action.

Here's what happened: Last year, I gave my six-year-old daughter my old 10 Gig old-style iPod, because I got a 20 Gig model. Last month, she started complaining that the battery wasn't holding a charge. This is a known problem with iPods. Last week, her iPod was dying after running for just a few minutes. It was time to crack it open.

Using Froogle, I searched on "iPod battery" and found this replacement unit for $30. The shipping was around $6 and it arrived via 2-day UPS.

(Click images for enlargement)

When it arrived (on time), I opened it and found the battery, some instructions (the same ones found here), and a cute-as-a-button miniature screwdriver with a little clip on it so you can insert it in a shirt pocket. Following the instructions, I carefully inserted the screwdriver into the crack between the metal case and clear plastic lid. But the screwdriver's blade was way too thick to get into the seam. I ended up gouging the plastic.

I set the screwdriver aside and grabbed a kitchen knife. It took about three or four minutes of tentative probing before I could get the knife blade worked in far enough to give me enough leverage to start to separate the top from the bottom. Once I got it started, though, I was able to use the adorable little screwdriver to pry the iPod the rest of the way open.

The old battery was attached to the hard drive with a couple of strips of padded, double-sided tape. I tore the tape a little while removed the old battery, and one of the strips got stuck to itself, but it wasn't a big deal. The battery has a couple of wires coming out of it, ending in a tiny white plug that goes into a socket. It was easy to unplug. I took the new battery and stuck it onto the sticky tape. Then I plugged it in the little socket. The cover snapped right on.

After charging it overnight, I gave it to my daughter and it has been running for hours. Mission accomplished!

The trick is, how do you build a show like that? Hint: a weblog. Conversational marketing. For instance, who is the best authority on the wireless industry today? Alan Reiter. How much do you want to bet that in five years Reiter will be running a huge tradeshow?

Amazon's Top 10 Secrets of a Successful
Website... 02/05/2005 10:08 PM

You'll like this. Small post. Don't really do so many of those any more, but this one has three links in it so I can't stick it into del.icio.us. Oops. Four links. It starts with a little tiny post at Signal vs. Noise, the awesome 37signals weblog (dammit, five links):

"Is there any doubt that BIG is in? The signup button for Amazon Prime puts that question to rest." (Big is in)

And when you click on the link you do indeed get a really really really big button. And the button has a bevel! And the bevel is big!

And I'm here to explain to the 37signals guys why this is the case, because although they're all special clever-clever 'we think we're the shiznit' usability people and all, they appear not to have read the seminal work on the subject - Jason Kottke's classic 10 secrets of a successful website. It's just as well that not everyone is so far behind the times though - I can say without question that Amazon have read this work because how else would they have known to implement Rule #10 of a successful website:

the bigger the bevel, the more important the button

Now people think Jason's just a pretty face (jeez - six links... nngh) which is just so not true. For a start, it would be fairer to say that he was a pretty face, and not - I might add - that much prettier than me (it's not the years, it's the mileage). But more importantly, when he was a pretty face, he was a pretty face that also knew all about the web 'n' shit.

So look and learn people, and watch as Jason leads you through the future step by step - believe in him now or watch stupified as one by one his principles come to be employed in future Amazon.com designs:

From rule #4: 3D logos: "With today's high end power mac 7200s and 486 pcs, one can create beautifully rendered animated 3D art that rivals the likes of that produced by pixar and industrial light and magic. why have a two dimensional logo when three dimensions are available? the extra dimension will make your logo stand out from those of your competition."

From rule #6: CDRom on the web: "in the three years the web has existed, the web design community as a whole has discovered the one great truth: developing for the web is just like developing for a cdrom. you've probably heard different, but that's just propaganda from all the techies that are mad because people no longer develop text-only pages."

You know, come to think of it, you should write to Jason right now and get him to do an Amazon redesign that'll really push them into the 21st Century! With his help maybe they can stop all this concentrating on business and so-called 'classic design' and really make something that sells their brand values instead!
