Squared Eye Notebook: It's Not Just The Little... →
first Square gives the receipt an update and now @squaredeye. An important element of real world user experience finally gets some attention.
If you haven’t already been following Josh Brewer and Josh Porter at 52weeksofux.com, you need to start now. It’s a great read on some of the realities, questions, and problems of User Experience design, both on the web and in the natural.

Merlin makes a great and entertaining point as always and you should absolutely go read the entire post.
I hate talking on the phone as much as the next guy and this seems like a good idea at first glance but I wonder if all of that is a little much to go through for a food delivery guy who can’t find my apartment. I’m pretty sure asking for a list of the cell numbers for all delivery...

Twigs & Buoys: Info-What? →
such a shame to see a good candidate for an info graphic come out so poorly.
According to this chart, is it more expensive to live in Shanghai or New York?
It took me a second to figure it out and these folks even wrote an article with the wrong answer (which was picked up by Racked NY and now poor little fashion-lovers everywhere will be confused).

Have you seen these HSBC ads?
As I ride the subway from Brooklyn to Manhattan everyday I get a chance to look at a lot of ads. Having worked in advertising I tend to pay a little more attention and be more critical, as is anyone who’s once created what they’re viewing.
I’ve seen these HSBC ads around the city and thought they were clever. I’m a pretty sappy guy but I’m not likely to be...
Adding to the Flock
I just followed a gaggle of new twitter people. All are in the web world and most are at SXSW where I am sadly not.
They all are people mentioned by people I’m already following most notably @squaredeye who is a new addition to my list himself and one I’m enjoying quite a bit although learning he was in fact not a whale was disappointing.
Hi new people!

I am absolutely fascinated by chatroulette. Sometimes technology makes something possible socially that is brand new, interesting, a little...
Review of NOW! That's What I Call Music Vol. 2
Read this now.
This is a (admittedly long) fantastic critique of pop music in the late 90s written by The Onion’s AV Club. I highly recommend you fight through your “TL:DR” impulse and give this a chance. Load it up before you get on the subway and you’ll be done by the time you hit Brooklyn.
Pieces I like the most:

This app is incredible. I just installed it and will report back in a couple weeks after I get used to it but right off the bat the list of things it does is staggering. It really is Quicksilver for the browser.

Just posted my recap for the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother. It’s long, but it was a good episode.
