[Just blogged] The Triforce of UX - I love metaphors and analogies; they make complicated stuff seem simple. Here’s my take on what I believe are the core elements of user experience: the Triforce of UX – feel, perceive, convey. User Experience happens whether it is intentionally designed or not. It surrounds us and binds our reality with the rest of the world. But because the ultimate effect of the experience is subjective, and therefore unique to every bei... http://ow.ly/2IJkhe

[Just blogged] Riffing on the “content is king” metaphor - We’ve heard that “content is king” for years. Curiously, the metaphor stands up extremely well, even when stretched, prodded, and otherwise abused. Here’s my take. Content is King Content rules all things. Food ingredients are the content objects that allow us to cook recipes. And online, content is what communicates products, services, and ideas. Content strategy, in many ways, represent... http://ow.ly/2HUOt0

[Just blogged] In search of serendipity - If reports from the recent South By Southwest Interactive Festival are to be believed, “serendipity” – a fortunate accidental discovery – appears to be “Buzzword of the Month.” This is both good and bad. Good, because we need more serendipity in our lives. Bad, because the word has become synonymous with creativity, which it isn’t. Invention vs. innovation Let’s start with the ba... http://ow.ly/2wDXQr

[Just blogged] Less is more - Recently, I’ve started to wonder what really matters to me here in life. The answers have surprised me and I’d like to share one of them with you now. Over time, I’ve acquired more personal property than most. I have many physical things that live in boxes, papers I’ve archived and will never read again, and the still-packed remnants of my late parent’s home filling my attic. But here’s my epiphany: mos... http://ow.ly/2wmkah

[Just blogged] Design angel - Earlier this year, my dear friend, Hannah Koppel,  gave me a paper angel she had made. Here’s a photo:   Hannah is a talented designer and ceramacist. And as the daughter of renowned silversmith Henning Koppel, her gene pool leaves nothing to be desired. Unfolded, the angel is a simple circle of paper. Nothing more.   I share this design with you because, for me, it represents the ultimate in what design should repr... http://ow.ly/2wiF0X

[Just blogged] Selling User Experience - I grew up in an unusual household. As the son of politically aware scientists, by the time I was six, my greatest passions were music, baseball, antique cars, and nuclear isotopes. What I learned at a very young age has served me well in promoting the benefits of user experience (UX) to my clients and community. Please bear with me through a long ramble. Hopefully, you’ll think it was worthwhile. Where I’m coming fr... http://ow.ly/2wc0g4
