new visual book
08Sep09Tweecious :: Add-ons for Firefox
09Jul09So i looks like i have a reason to be serious about Delicious. I never used it and now i feel like kicking myself in the butt for not using it, but then it might just means that i will be asking myself for a brain overload of information that i just can’t handle!
so i am giving it a shot. and already i can see a nightmare! i got 120 bookmarks and they all have the same title name and the tags are way off…. BRRRRRRRRR!
so i guess i need to sit down when i have free time to give myself a headache to chew on all this for others to navigate my bookmarks or just don’t care. or just stop the tweecious for a second until they could fix those untitle messages. either way the program is neat to play for a day….
and it got me to get use to delicious. never in my mind will a text base program get a visualize person to use it and not get a headache from it YET.
just quipping a fustration of the day.

New addiction – Sloan Review
26Mar09Today is a new addiction for myself – access to sloan review achives…. it all started for a simple random interest search for brainstorm tactics… LINK
but i discover this article which i will state some qoutes but can’t show it all cause of copyright issues…..MIT got all angles covered….
“One of the reasons that recommendation offerings are proliferating is that consumers today are overwhelmed by “the paradox of choice” — so many choices to make, and no easy way to distinquish among the offerings. Producers face the opposite problem: They need to make wise investment decisons in a world cluttered with cultural products. They seek to mitigate the increasing risks of developing and distributing new offerings. For both consumers and producers prediction and recommendation capabilities are particularly important today.”
This is a problem considering that manufacturing capablities are moving faster and faster and apply cheaper solutions to building products…we are then flooding our market with products that people literally need to be “emotional moved” by the branding and graphics—statements like—”I must be the first to have it” (us youngster’s say) or “Oh i should get that, my friend was telling me about it the other day” (the older generation say). but i must say, this article is a great at pointing what the book “paradox of choice” is about. For the product industry it is a must read.
Better than Trillian + Pidgin – welcome Digsby
20Mar09 okay for those don’t know you can get a software for all your MSN, AIM, etc accounts in one, but now you can’t keep track of your status of folks online, but don’t want to waste time doing it.
Try Digsby, but i just found out about it, so i shall try it for a time. I like the email note cause i have too many to keep track and hate to login individually.

Discovered Clip Marks
19Mar09Just testing it’s ability and i must say, convenient! so far….
okay so… the next step for clipmarks is more control. yeah… i am picky but also i am not. Our society has grown picky…last century it was about speed – faster and faster – internet, email, instant messaging, cellphone – now i notice the pattern is control…. the way we blog – the level of control to change colors, stylize, and make it the way the user wants it. Even on the scale of cellphones, we want control of our cellphone and access everywhere on the grid. If a wifi connection is down, we get upset because we lost control of the wifi.
For clipmarks i want control of the edge widget borders and to make the video file bigger, which i have already done, by going through the code and changing the numbers. But do i want to do this for every clipmark i post. but, i think i can deal with this because control is complete outweighed by convenience!

MINDJET – a mindmapping software
17Mar09So i went in search of mindmap by mindjet. (thanks to the doc in a previous posting) I can’t give an opinion yet cause i just found it, but once i play around with it (give me a month or so) i will give the update. for now the link is for others who wish to try it out (they have a 30 day trail – but that is never enough time). And personally i don’t think this is the best picture to represent the program (it needs some graphic love!)
they have a blog too. LINK
Book – Supermarket design
15Mar09besides public restroom and metro design i also like going to a grocery store – any new grocery store — to see how they layout the merchandise. Even in america, the stores are different and have preferences to what their costumers want from their stores. And of course the ranking of stores to the costumer deem as the low end store to the rich high end store or to the organic stores.
New Book – Anatomy!
15Mar09few years ago i went to the exhibit – human body. If you have not got a chance to go (even if you have sensitive stomach issues) it is required. Why? From a designer’s perspective is how they walk you through the exhibit and “feel” your way through the information. In many cases your brain gets overloaded with facts and cues about the history or science of stuff, sometimes you get a headache afterwards when you walk out the musuem. but the human body exhibit made me go – wow, that’s how big a kidney stone is? So that is where the stomach sits? Oh i did not know all our vital organs are in the rib cage? We have a fat sac? We don’t know why we yawn?— enough said enjoy the book images, and get it for yourself if you want to be entertain by health facts.
