  MIX08: A Conference Summary MIX, MIX08 | (0)

  MIX08 came and went and I've had a chance to reflect on its impact over the weekend.  I have to say that the content really impressed me.  Some of the exciting news for me: IE8 is going to surprise a lot of people.  I'm looking forward to digging deep into the experience the browser gives me and to really test out the standards-based browsing that it has introduced into the product line.  The work on Silverlight 2 is really, really strong and the DeepZoom technology is excellent.  I was also happy to see the great progress that the Expression ...

  Beautiful Applications Design Methods, Design Thinking, Design Tools, Expression Blend, Innovations, MIX | (0)

  Technorati Tags: Thirteen23,MixMe,Continuum There's a great deal of talk about how Vista (when compared to Windows XP) doesn't provide value to most users. I think much of this stems for the fact that we have yet to see many applications that truly take advantage of the platform and have created applications that make us feel good when we use them. Of all the numerous designers and firms I work with I'm not sure anyone understands that better (or is able to execute their vision better with WPF and Vista) that a firm by the name of Thirteen23. Some of the ...

  Do we need branded utilities Design Thinking, MIX | (0)

  Technorati Tags: MIX,My Vegas,Branded Utility,Las Vegas,Silverlight A big part of my shtick when I talk about Rich Platforms is that we'll all be using them in a few years if not sooner. I'd argue AJAX is a rich platform too but the real question is will the applications we live in today (social media, way-finding, etc.) eventually migrate (or become augmented by) richer technologies like Flex, Flash, AIR, Silverlight, WPF, etc. Critical Mass takes a tender step into that area with a social application called My Vegas. It's goals are based on the following simple (and accurate) premise. People ...

Here are some of my top choices. The picture on the left is one of the winning restyles for MIX08 webiste, called Gung Hay Fat Choy. UX ...
