No chair 3 years ago
It’s great to see people’s reactions to this “invisible chair” marketing stunt by KLM.
Chrome speed tests 3 years ago
Is Chrome faster than a potato gun, sound waves, or lightning? Watch to find out.
Also: the behind-the-scenes video.
UX for Chrome and Chrome OS 3 years ago
Some nice UX guidelines for Chrome and Chrome OS. I love how they’re completely rethinking the OS: everything from open/save dialogs to cursors (although the proposed cursors are pretty ugly).
Presentations: good and bad 3 years ago
Just finished Tufte’s The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint (the whole thing, not just the sample on his site) and was pretty down on PowerPoint.
Then I read the New York Times’ We Have Met the Enemy and He Is PowerPoint which also hates on PP a bit, although the title image isn’t really a PowerPoint slide, it’s a poorly designed diagram.
But then I ran across Note & Point, a collection of beautiful presentations. I think this shows that presentation aids are great when you use them correctly, which often means ditching the “title and bullets” theme and designing something that actually supports your talk.
