Small update to this already great Canvas sketching tool. Included keyboard shortcuts to set the influence level on ’sketchy’. Just press 1 through 4 on your keyboard to set.
Or play with it here and set the tool to ’sketchy’
Ah. One line to explain them all
I was reading the article ‘What is next in webdesign’ on informationarchitects.jp- and there was one line- that explains UX and what UX is about to webdesigners- in a single sentence:
User Experience is in the interface, not in the surface.

Also. They have (I just found out copy/pasting the text) a very useful script running on their site. When you copy a text from their blog- it automatically adds the ‘Read more:’ part. Now that is smart…

My pet frustration
One of my pet peeves is the fact that- sometimes people put a ‘next’ link- where a ‘previous’ link would make more sense in context of browsing though a blog.
You know how it works- you are reading through a blog, get to the bottom- and there, you have a link called ‘next’. OK, fair enough- you don’t give it any thought and click on it (The Affordance of that link is: it get’s you somewhere were you want to go) Now…page 2, you go though the articles- and there, at the bottom of the page you are greeted with:
OK So, when clicking ‘previous’, will I go back in time (so- will I get to a page, where I can read older articles) or back to page 1?
Does it not make more sense to name the anchor something like older posts, or newer posts?
Let me hear it.

Maggy Sort
It might not be the most efficient, but it’s by far- the most entertaining one. It seems to be a persistent random seeded bubble sort

Chromium on OS X
- Image via Wikipedia
This is actually one of the more funnier error messages I came across running Chrome (Chromium) on OS X.
When trying to open an HTML file locally. I get this popup saying that Chromium doesn’t support HTML.

The first image posted on the web…ever.
And probably not what you expected. It dates back to 1992, after a CERN organized festival called the Hardronic Festival. Tim Berners-Lee asked Silvano de Gennaro to scan some pictures of the CERN girls to publish on this thing he invented called the World Wide Web.
And the rest is history.

Michael Jackson’s forgotten patent
Yes, The King of pop also had a Patent
Abstract
A system for allowing a shoe wearer to lean forwardly beyond his center of gravity by virtue of wearing a specially designed pair of shoes which will engage with a hitch member movably projectable through a stage surface. The shoes have a specially designed heel slot which can be detachably engaged with the hitch member by simply sliding the shoe wearer’s foot forward, thereby engaging with the hitch member.
Known as patent number 5255452, filed in 1992. This patent describes how Michael performed the iconic moment in Smooth Criminal where he and his posse leaned forward, beyond his center of gravity without crashing face first into the ground. It’s was an awesome moment, by an awesome performer. He will be greatly missed.
