One last UI nitpick I’ve been meaning to write down for ages, and it goes like this:
You’re viewing recent photos/posts on a website and you want to read more, so you click the button at the bottom to give you a few more older entries
You view those photos/posts then scroll down to get more
Your choices [...]
Continuing on with the “Flash ads should never obscure content or functionality on a website” theme, today I noticed I couldn’t log into my Hilton Hotel account because of some stupid ad for an olympics panda bear.
Here is me trying to login (click on the screenshot to see the .mov screen capture).
The sound you [...]
Recording of me trying to follow a link in a Salon article today. Somehow I wish there was a code of online advertising ethics that stated One Must Never Obscure Content With Advertising but I’m not holding my breath for that happening anytime soon.
After my initial problems, I got a new iPhone from my nearby Apple store and spent several hours using it.

I’ve been a longtime user of Craigslist. I got my San Francisco Apartment using it, bought a few things, and eventually I met Craig and we’ve talked at conferences together about what it takes to run a community. At the recent SXSW fest, a panel redesigned Craigslist. It’s a [...]
I stumbled upon an old directory filled with mockups that never saw the light of day and figured now that it’s five years later, I should probably upload them as a set on Flickr. These are from April-May 2000 with some later ones through in at the end, all done when I was trying to [...]
