The Complexity of Simplicity from one of my web heroes, Dan Saffer. Love this.
Ha! After clicking through to the 3rd slide (“But how?”) I had inadvertently moved the cursor via my trackpad to the Last Slide button and clicked. I thought Saffer had taken the simplicity discussion to a new level.

Scientists have used brain scan images to create the world’s first movie of the female brain as it approaches, experiences and recovers from an orgasm. The animation reveals the steady buildup of activity in the brain as disparate regions flicker into life and then come together in a crescendo of activity before gently settling back down again.
To make the animation, researchers monitored...

UX design resume & portfolio DO's and DON'Ts
A few months ago, I went through the process of interviewing candidates for a UX position on my team. During the process I took the following notes as I went through the pile of resumes and portfolios. They are my opinion on what a good resumé and portfolio is.

I rode by this on my way home the other night. Police had blocked off the roads and were taking photos of the downed bicycle. I wondered where the car that was involved in the accident was and if the cyclist had survived. Bummed to know that isn’t the case, that the guy leaves a family behind, and that the driver ran.

A friend and I are riding from Bellingham to Portland over the next week. Originally, Vancouver, BC was the starting point, but a forgotten passport forced a revision. Ah well. A shorter ride gives us more time to see things.

PATRIOT Act Extensions Blocked By House →
U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) today took to the floor of the House to oppose the effort to reauthorize expiring provisions of the PATRIOT Act, which ultimately failed extension today as the measure did not receive a two-thirds vote.

I believe when they found the body of General George A. Custer
Quilled like a porcupine with indian arrows, he didn’t die with any honor, any dignity, nor any valor.
I wouldn’t doubt when they found George A. Custer an American general patriot and indian fighter, he died with shit in his pants.
