Posts (of mine) worth looking at
I’m getting some traffic from a few places where I’ll be speaking/visiting/workshopping next week and the most recent posts don’t make me look particularly good. So here are links to some posts which put a better face on me and might be interesting to read. And yes, of course, this screams of the need to re-design, get some WP modules, and making the thing decent again . . . meanwhile:
A revelation I had about the difference between design and creative (at least in interactive and marketing)
A curmudgeonly screed complaining about how simplistic our notions of design thinking have become.
More churlinshness about innovation and what a weasel word it is.
If your read only one (and why should you even bother with that?):
A happy post about innovation and craft and a jubilant post about that awesome young man who built the windmill in Malawi. You’re probably better off going to his site. I just wanted to counterbalance the crank with something positive.
Some thoughts on simplicity in web design, by way of tests I used to give IxD candidates interviewing for a job.
An overview of my obsession/fascination with emergent design
Several posts about craft and the XO people (additional obsessions)
