Early Morning Veterans Day 2010
I took the opportunity just after sunrise this Veteran's Day to go out and shoot. After getting some shots of the old farmer's market, I went exploring. Probably not the best roads for my car, but fruitful nonetheless.
Meet Me At ArtBerkeley’s Exhibit At the Dunn Building
This Saturday, from 1-4 I'll be joining other local artists at the Dunn Building (count offices) for the opening reception for the Dunn Building Exhibit and hosted by ArtBerkeley. This is the first time I've had any of my artwork on public display and I feel privileged to be a part of this. During the hanging of the artwork on Monday night, I got to meet some fine folks and see some pretty amazing works of art.
If you can't make it, you can see my submissions, which I pulled from my Black & White set that can be found on flickr & SmugMug.

Very Well Put…
The following is a reply to a comment. View the comment thread. by Galeforce10 July 26, 2010 2:13 AM PDT Quote from another forum. I apologise because I cant remember the posters name and I don't know if it was original or he copied it from somewhere: "This is where I think most analysis goes off the rails. It seems logical to think that the person who knows the most about phones (technology) should be the one who can best guide us in buying a phone. But in reality, the opposite is often true.
Tech Geeks are more knowledgable so they can quickly figure out the arcane aspects of a device.
Laymen don't understand or want arcane.
Tech Geeks love nuance. Laymen love simplicity.
Tech Geeks love options. Laymen love clarity.
Tech Geeks love power. Laymen love productivity.
Tech Geeks love features. Laymen love benefits.
Tech Geeks use words like functional, powerful, configurable.
Laymen use words like elegant, intuitive, easy to use.
Tech Geeks may know more, but they often understand less.
Laymen should beware Geeks bearing advice. They?re likely to end up with a device that a Geek would love - and that they don't know how to use "
How To Botch A UI
* First of all, note the two-line app name. Not a wise design decision for a device with a limited screen size
* Email icon for Text Messagin'
* Different names for the same app: "Text Messagin..." and "Text Mess"
* Replacing a letter with three characters that together take up more space than the one letter: "Text Messagin..." vs. "Text Messaging"
* Inconsistent status bar icon heights
* Music icon looks like a push-button or HAL with it's "eye" closed. Take your pick.
It's poor UI design decisions like these that make certain devices cold and impersonal. It's the oft-maligned attention to fit and finish that makes other devices personal and "friendly."
