]]>The Wilderness Downtown is actually an experiment made with HTML5.
A video, several popup windows which add to the main story, an interactive letter to the younger ones and of course some HTML5 magic make the experience original and worthwhile.
Great people talk about ideas.
Average people talk about things.
Small people talk about other people.

]]>Most MacOS users require more from their most important app. Fact.
I’ve been using Path Finder for more than 3 years. It is really good. It can do anything I need. And it can do a lot more. So here comes a minor complain: it’s an overkill.
TotalFinder is the new kid on the block. I downloaded it, played with it for a while and I like it. It feels native and it is very promising. Yet in Alpha. I’d bet my money on it.

Every paragraph of the article is insightful but I would like to focus on:
On Apple’s site, users had to hunt around to find the button to purchase an iPhone. Not only was the button in an unconventional location relative to most e-commerce sites, apple.com used internally inconsistent colors and labels for its Buy buttons.
Interestingly, having a (deserved) reputation for good design came to Apple’s rescue. Users were forgiving because they knew that the iPhone had high usability, and they were sufficiently committed to spending the extra time to find out how to purchase one.
See? Context counts.

]]>Visiting New York is a dream. I know it sounds quite banal, especially for people who live there and read now this post.
I dream of a New York during Christmas. Which brings us at the second oxymoron, because here is hot, 35°C/95°F, to be specific and I am writing about winter time.
If you think the same way, you’ll love this amazing photo collection of New York City.
I guess I could use some time off. So this is what I am going to do.
See you in a couple of weeks. May you all have some great time in the meanwhile.

Based on this definition here are 3 bookmarks I visit almost every day and one more that made me change my wallpaper.
A blog about Macs & Apple. Wrong. A blog about Apple’s design philosophy.
A fantastic designer with provocative ideas. What’s more to ask?
let’s work from your house today, okay?

]]>MojoMotor has the same roots with the main product, Expression Engine, and aims to users with simpler needs.
As far as i can see (since I haven’t tested the product yet) MojoMotor is not another Tumblr or Posterous. Which makes me very curious: the trend shows us that people ask for simpler systems. MojoMotor looks more complicated than Tumblr. Will it survive? The future will tell.
]]>Ten laws do design by is an article which refers to 10 truths that run design and make our work simpler and more fulfilling for the visitor. An excellent resource.
