How to be a UX Team of One
Fire Eagle and MarcoPolo
“Now, when the computer identifies the location you’ve arrived at, it will open the Fire Eagle website where (possibly after confirming your password) you will be asked to approve the change of location. This isn’t quite as seamless as can be achieved with a dedicated application and an API key, but is a quick and simple method that does the job for me for the time being.”

Non-linear Scheduling
Photo from the Muji Web site
LifeHacker points to the yet-to-be-released Muji Chronotebook Non-linear Day Planner, which provides an interesting way to plan your day. Gone are the normal grids and standard sequence of hours and dates. They have been replaced by pages that display “time on an axis, like an analog clock.” One page is dedicated to the morning and the other to the evening. So you add your events to the AM or PM page, writing your “plans like spokes on a bicycle wheel.”
I don’t think it would work for me (I’m not a heavy user of day planners anyway), but I really love that they are forging a different solution to the problem of planning one’s schedule.

Portable Privacy Experiences
When you think about it, online social applications are bad places to put things that are meant to go unseen, and it makes the notion of privacy start to feel like the wrong idea. This brings us back to the words we choose, because I think we interact online not to keep stuff private, but to share it selectively. Setting up a privacy framework works as a force in opposition to the goal of sharing something. If instead we think about streaming shared actions (or gestures, if you like) and content to the right people and less about exception frameworks, things should work more smoothly and, I think, bring us closer to models that can cross networks without exploding.

Welcome
Howdy! Welcome to the spot where I write notes and keep track of interesting detritus from around the 'Net. In addition to being the home of the Ma.gnolia plugin for WordPress, and presenting topics on Web design and development, this site is made up of entries covering subjects close to my heart, including barbecue, the laws and politics of the U.S., technology, architecture, Apple's OS X, history, and many more besides. Tap the spider to the left to reveal a search box and a list of categories.
Cheers!
Alex
