Waiter... My Kool-Aid Tastes Funny
I’m not a UX guy (although I played one on TV), but I do secretly want to be a 404-er. I’d love to be able to create something that grabs you visually, while effectively communicating the message to you.
I can’t do that, but what I do know how to do is make that UX talent a key component to our ability to win business.

"The Much Under-appreciated Principle of Pleasure"
Nick Merritt posits on why Apple creates interfaces with higher perceived quality than their competitors:
It is not just enough to make using something easy … When it comes to deciding what choices to make, it helps that a team has a supremely clear vision of the role the technology is going to play in the lives of its users, as the original Mac team did, as I suspect, the iPhone team does today, and to be fair to Microsoft, the Surface team has.

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.
