Blog: Design Musings and Other Nonsense
We discuss design, business, web products and other miscellany.Responsive Web Design – Rebuilding the Web
In a lot of ways, the current responsive web design movement reminds me of a media format change. Sure, you can still bump out tunes on your eight-track, but the cassette is where its at, cat daddy. From there, well, you know the rest, CD, HDCD, DVD-Audio (which, I...
Natural Content Marketing
Content marketing has become a huge topic of discussion today. Lots and lots of people are talking about content marketing. So much so that a mini gold-rush is on, with lots of marketing companies throwing their hats in the ring, promising gains in traffic, sales, and...
Just Be Decent
The other day I was thinking about business, and what I thought my/our secret sauce is. That is, we seem to get a lot of the business we go after, and we seem to have lots of happy customers, but why is that? Asking these sorts of questions, to me anyway, isn't an...

Embracing Your Preferences
Because the nature of my work is pretty fluid, my job description with many clients is dictated by their needs and what they ask me to do. I am really fortunate to have done a lot of different things in my career, and as such, I can do a wide variety of things. ...
Right Now is Awesome
I get excited about a lot of things, I guess that is my nature. But, there is nothing I am more excited about than what is going on right now. Everywhere I look, creativity is being unleashed in the most amazing ways. New companies are cropping up all over the...
Personal vs. Interpersonal Interaction Design (IxD)
As a designer who builds things people use, psychology and behavior of the end user enter into my thinking quite often. Because, at least to me, a big part of experience design of any kind is knowing what kind of experience you are trying to create and whom you are...
No One Wants to Ask Jeeves
You know, I was never interested in asking Jeeves anything. Although it has been several years since I have had a chance (since Ask Jeeves changed their name to Ask.com), this is still something I see today. That is, taking a good idea in the analog world (asking a...
