Type Delete to delete Originally uploaded by Rider Planto I found this a while ago when playing around with Podio. I have to be honest, I completely missed the text entry box the first time (there’s a lot of red shouting going on and then a very discrete notice about what you have to do), […]

Some good f** advice (NSFW)
I have to be honest, I love the spirit of this and had forgotten about it (it’s been around for a couple of years now).

Garmin Mapping Software: WTF
Apologies – this one’s a bit of a rant. Oh, and it’s about slightly more in-depth use of a GPS than simply punching in a destination on a TomTom. I’ve used Garmin software and GPS devices for what feels like about 10 years now. I used to be forced to use PC emulators on a […]

Cycling Fitness and the London Phoenix Easter Classic

Defining “Good Enough”
One of the things I mentioned at the recent UXPeople conference was the need to agree “Good Enough” up front for any agile project that requires experience design. Now, before you go scanning to the end to read the answer, you might want to know that I don’t have one. Yet. So this is more […]

Garmin Connect Site Maintenance
Garmin‘s Connect website for uploading and browsing all the pulse, hardware and location data their devices collect when you’re running, cycling, walking, is down for maintenance right now. The visuals and messaging around a normally negative event is really quite nice for a company that doesn’t always excel at design and customer centricity.

UX People, November 2010
In a couple of weeks, I’ll be talking at UX People in London on “Coping Strategies: UX in an Agile World” and myself and Ann will be hosting a workshop in the afternoon. The Talk Two years ago, I joined a software development consultancy (Lab49). We’re specialists at creating bespoke software for human based trading, […]
