Warm bottom = happy bottom

The Toto Washlet I am quite sure you can deduce what the Washlet is by the picture, and if that isn’t enough… read the title again. Got it? Good. It’s a bidet. I am quite sure you have probably never used one, and if you have they probably seem like the strangest thing ever. I … Read more

Usability in product packaging

I was strolling through Lowe’s today with my boys, not remembering if I had a good batch of putty, so I stepped down the paint and caulk isle, and noticed new packaging for the Elmer’s Wood Putty. The first thing that came to mind was "It’s about time." I was seriously taken with the new … Read more

User Experience Design: When good ideas go dark

Recently I started walking more often, trying to maintain my boyish, 35 year old figure a bit more… pro-actively, which led me to buy what has to be one of the worst devices I have ever purchased; a pedometer. It doesn’t interpret my footsteps accurately, it cannot account for change of stride and/or speed, and … Read more

Seriously good time waster; Line Rider

I was goofing around on the intarweb again today – oooh! I know, huge shocker…. Any way, I ran across this guys video on YouTube made with a little Flash app called Line Rider. He is apparently a Stargate Atlantis fan and he set his video to the theme of the show, and made dude … Read more

The Book of Deviants

This is another great micro-site. I found this after seeing another of the Scion Little Deviants commercial, and remembering to go and see what else they had out here to go along with this rather twisted little campaign they have themselves. So it’s a little creepy, and the Deviants are quite…. hungry? But it’s still … Read more

Your digital self image

There has been a lot of talk lately about what you learned about software while not in college, or what you learned about software in college and  what life skills best have benefited your software the most, with other articles, blog posts and ideas I have been kicking around for a while now – it … Read more

Interactive Bridge – The London Design Festival

Last year’s London Design Festival some some pretty amazing things, and I will eagerly anticipate this year’s September showing to see what new creations are unleashed upon society. Realizing all too well I am about a year late on this, but in my defense I had a lot going on over the past couple of … Read more

Enter the Vilcus Dactyloadapter This newly designed, highly technical tool is sure to sweep the electrical industry by storm. … Read more

It’s a good day to be a fake doctor!

I know it seems as if I have Windows Home Server on the brain, but in fact it just seems to be hitting me in the face ever since I received my Beta 2 kit the other day in the mail. I just stumbled upon stopdigitalamnesia.com, and this is another great example of a superb … Read more

The Last Mimzy

mimzy.com  This is an awesome website with a ton of functionality. I can't count how many movie sites I have been to recently that look nice and do nothing, it's like The Wreckers song: Stand still and look pretty Heres to hoping that the movie doesn't fall short of the impression that the website has … Read more

Sony marketing misses the mark in US

Lame. Lame. Lame. Lame. LAME! This is the second time that Sony has arbitrarily decided that Americans are not vain enough to want various colors in their electronic products, and left the color variations to only Japanese consumers. First, they started offering the little pocket cameras like the DSC-T5 in only Black or Silver (with … Read more

Being detail oriented can be a pain in the jar

I used to consider myself a Type A personality, but I really don’t think that fits any more. I tend to be very detail oriented though, I try to be concise; sometimes to a fault; organized and very thorough. Why am I bringing this up? Because (in general) these are all things that Open Source … Read more

Spiderman on the brain

Spiderman 3 is still just a bit more than 3 months away, and in true consumer-frenzy inducing fashion, Sony Pictures has completed a major upgrade to their website. If you haven’t been there as of late go – it’s super cool. It’s really a great site in fact, and it has large amounts of new … Read more

175 days, 15 minutes and 16 seconds to go…..

Spiderman is the best damned Super Hero ever! I don’t care what anyone has to say on this matter. Unless it goes something like: Spiderman is the best damned super hero ever! You are wrong. So, in case you are new here, Spiderman 3 is set to release next May and tonight just after CSI, … Read more

More ice skating in hell [with MySpace]!

I have made another design change to my MySpace profile to be more in line with Flogging English. I am still running into aspects I would really like to do; like rounded corners on the tables, but can’t – well, because I’m trapped in the Hell of Nested Tables. This version is designated 4, but … Read more
