How the "Apply" button is confusing to users, and how an "Updating" feature should be added for visual feedback and to avoid challenging the user's mental model.

Internet Vacation

Just like I had done in the summer (Part 1 & Part 2), I'm going to be doing a lot less stuff online for the next couple of weeks to focus on applications for summer internships. Also, I'm working on a nice weekly schedule to maximize efficiency, effectiveness, and happiness. Go me!

Photo by DonkeyHotey I just discovered this amazing site, You Are Not So Smart, that is a great break from the monotony of short articles. The long form posts that David McRaney writes helps present a much more in depth story compared to what is usually written for the Internet nowadays. This particular article is interesting on an interpersonal level, but if the same concept of the Benjamin Franklin Effect was extended to human-computer interaction – things become really interesting, really fast. While reading, just convert all the relationships into ones between a human and a machine, and see how UX designers can leverage these ideas to help create a better experience.

guess what's that ;) by Júlia Hegyi

This is one of the greatest photographs I have come across in a long time. It has such a unique perspective, with a great mood created by the lighting and warm tones. The viewer is kept captivated as they look at all the wonderfully distorted shapes, trying to get some grasp as to what they're viewing. Even though there is a great deal to look at, it doesn't overload the senses - a hard balance in the world of the abstract and chaotic. For as much information that's presented, there's still not enough to determine what it is that exists, leaving the viewer to peer into their own mind and attempt to construct an environment in which this image can be replicated in. Digital trickery escapes no one in this age, yet the natural physique of this work has an organic quality that justifies itself without hesitation. With a subtle attraction, the eye is lead in and around, and without a single powerful force.

Overall, a grand capture.
