Sketchy Wireframes

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:48:09 -0600

Legit read about how sketching is important to the interface design process. Can’t manage it?—using computer wireframes that look like sketches still help to manage expectations and keep the process fluid.

Mark Coleran designs the (ridiculously advanced) computer interfaces you see in them there action movies. Not a bad job at all.

Akron/Family - “Don’t Be Afraid, You’re Already Dead”

Chicago turned loose, the apocryphal winds turned eager thermals, rising even to your third-floor office window. They push papers from your desk & titter. They direct your cheek towards the peripheral sunset. Red shift. Doppler.

She is landing in a dusk one hour advanced & this distance too speaks to you. It suggests you will become a better person.

Things A Man Should Own

herenotthere:

One pair of silver or gold cuff-links, simple and modest

A set of collar stays of varying size

One pair black lace up dress shoes, one pair brown

Decent black loafers — dress up or down

Shoe shine kit

A solid dopp kit. A good one can be passed down.

One black suit, one dark blue or grey

Canvas summer shoes, white or otherwise

A well-earned pair of jeans: straight leg, slight bootcut. Invisible.

A tent & two sleeping bags: Mens and Womens

Things A Cat Should Own

1. A cozy chair, thickly upholstered if possible and at least as tall as one’s reach.
2. Object that rolls. Balls of yarn are a classic, but a plastic bottlecap will do in a pinch.
3. Sunbeam.
4. A cardboard box or similar enclosed space.
5. Two mice—one alive, one dead.
6. A vessel filled with water. Ones that don’t belong to you are best.
7. At least one human. Having multiple allows you to play them off each other.
8. A large window and windowsill.
9. Fish (you can never have too many).

Dead Pixel in Google Earth. Helmut Smits, 2008.

The project is a physical landscaping alteration that burns an 82 cm x 82 cm size square in a field of grass, which measures the equivalent of one pixel of data at an altitude of 1 km when seen with Google Earth.

Brilliant.

Word By Word Slowly Acquiring

Word By Word Slowly Acquiring:

The sentence, with its narrow typographical confines, is a lonely place, the loneliest place for a writer, and the temptation for the writer to get out of one sentence as soon as possible and get going on the next sentence is entirely understandable. In fact, the conditions in just about any sentence soon enough become (shall we admit it?) claustrophobic, inhospitable, even hellish. But too often our habitual and hasty breaking away from one sentence to another results in sentences … that do not feel fully inhabitated and settled in by language. So many of the sentences we confront in books and magazines look unfinished and provisional, and start to go to pieces as soon as we gawk at and stare into them. They don’t hold up. Their diction is often not just spare and stark but bare and miserly.

There is another way to look at this: …

More than a year after he took the original pictures, French photo artist JR has returned to Kibera, Kenya. He was reunited with the women who had accepted to be part of his WOMEN project at the end of 2007. 2000 square meters of Kibera slum rooftops have been covered with photos of their eyes and faces.

What I Heard Someone Yell About Poetry

In common speech, our idioms yearn to expand ourselves, are hyperbolic—Grief hit me like a train. In poetry we look back to the small—His body held as a falling leaf.

Open Sailing:

Launching a cross-Atlantic voyage in May, Open Sailing aims to create a self-sustainable, floating architecture that evolves like a living organism, a laboratory for techno-social experiments. The basic approach is to convert apocalyptic threats into design constraints.
