New Blog Entry for CDG: The Nose

Finally got time last week to write another blog entry for CDG. After some editing from the lovely Jennifer Hoppe, it came out today. Entitled What One UI Developer Learned at the Opera, it a short but important lesson about learning from other sources can be an aid in design work.

As well as a nice trip to NYC…

UI or UN? The Life of a Front-End Developer…The Lecture???

No. Really.

Basically, it originally started as an idea for me to do something close to work but outside the office.  However, there are a number of ideas that need fleshing out. Not just about work (dealing with bad HTML code) but also about ideas about Charles, TWP, front-end developement, and IxD.

And linguistics.

More news to come.

Excuse me if you heard this before, but…

I am really, really busy.

Sorry for the month delay but new blog postings will be up in the next couple of days.

I will also be writing two blog post for CDG again, both dealing with topics brought about during lectures at Interaction 10 in Savannah a few weeks ago.

As for here, blog posts about Interaction 10/Savannah and the restart and final stages of Charles project.

Later.

Blog Entries for CDG

This week, my second blog entry for my employer, CDG Interactive, is up. Called The Well-Dressed Submit Button, it is my story about web development and dealing with usability.

My first one, UI or UN? The Life of a Front-End Developer, is also up. I don’t know if this is true for all UI/Front-end developers but the comparison does kinda hold up at certain times.

I would like to write more blog posts, especially for this blog, but my schedule really gets in the way. However, doing this will be one of many different things that I will be doing in the course of 2010.
