Usability is Not a Verb

Scott Berkun:

The talkers, the report writers, the complainers, the finger pointers, those are the people to avoid: they’ll be doing those things forever. It’s people comfortable with the positive verbs, doing, asking, learning, risking, reaching, who make change, if it’s going to happen at all, possible.

Like they say: Action speaks louder than words.

What a tragedy.

Goodbye Vassar

Word is out. The end of December will be my last day at work. Leaving Vassar is one of the toughest decisions I have to make. Vassar has given me the best five years of my career. On top of my professional work, Vassar has also become part of my life. My colleagues are my close friends. They inspired, motivated and shaped me into the designer that I am. My thanks and appreciations go to them for their love and support. I will miss them all.

Takeover

TBrown:

25 sites in 5 years? I can divide.
That’s one every, let’s say 2.4 (months),
half of them sh*ts was due.
They were all Illmatic.
That’s a 50 hot website every 10 year average.

Thanks for a good laugh.

Friending, Ancient or Otherwise

Alex Wright:

The more time we spend “talking” online, the less time we spend, well, talking. And as we stretch the definition of a friend to encompass people we may never actually meet, will the strength of our real-world friendships grow diluted as we immerse ourselves in a lattice of hyperlinked “friends”?

Nguyen Anh 9 – Tinh Ca Muon Thuo

On Tinh Ca Muon Thuo, composer and pianist Nguyen Anh 9 turns toward nostalgia as he plays a soliloquy on the keyboard. From the opening “Khong,” Nguyen Anh 9 gives give his own ballad tune a classical tinge. Although his technique—gliding from quiet diminuendo to pounding crescendo—is elegant and exciting, all the tracks get a similar treatment except for the melody. Some syncopation on the left hand and arpeggios on the right are necessary to spice up his execution, especially on the bluesy “Mua Thu Canh Nau.” Still the album is perfect for relaxing and stress releasing.

The Coolest

Lupe Fiasco:

I love the Lord, but sometimes it’s like that I love me more
I love the peace and I love the war
I love the seas and I love the shore
No love for no bitch…
