I feel my hands are still cold from Tuesday. What a day it was.
8164
- A New Day – My first photo journal. Despite getting up in the wee hours, the crazy traffic, the frigid weather, the $125 towing fee for my car, it was so worth it.
From elsewhere
- UI Scraps – A Tumblr blog I discovered this week. It’s where Jason Robb talks about UI related issues. Very interesting.
- A Better Pagination – A very nifty pagination implementation.
- Closing the Usability Age Gap – uxbooth.com is becoming one of my favorite UI blogs. In this article, Andrea shares some good insights on the gap between generations when it comes to the internet, and UI.
- Liquidation Sales Not Such a Bargain – (via youtube). With so many businesses going shutting down, beaware of the so called liquidation sales. A very informative video
- Cheap Camera, Interesting Shot – Some weird effect with iPhone camera.
- The Photographic Eye – A very interesting article on how the human eye compares to camera.
365 Projects
Two of my contacts on Flickr started an interesting project a while back. It’s called “365.” Basically taking one interesting photo everyday. You can see the main group here.
- Lisa Kimberly – She’s a very talented photographer. In her set you’ll find several themes. The “seduction” is truly captivating. Her “clones” are also very well done.
- One Teddy – by Doko. I feel Teddy has a soul. I’m wondering what he’s up to next.
Vid of the week
The score needs to be settled…

liked some of your b/w inaug photos. are any for sale? don’t want a digital copy; hard copy is fine b/c it’d be totally for my personal use.

I have to agree that your photojournal was totally worth the cold and the towing fee. There’s a certain tonal quality to them that strikes of class, and it was perfect for the subject matter.

I enjoy your blog and usually find some really interesting and helpful bits of info. May I make a suggestion – meant in the most positive and constructive way? The posting titles that populate the RSS feed would be more effective if they were more descriptive/individual. Ex. From Elsewhere doesn’t mean anything when you see it on an RSS feed. Alternate posting title? From Elsewhere – UI Scraps, Better Pagination, Closing Usability Age Gap and more… Same thing on the numbers…8164 by itself doesn’t really help me… Thanks for letting an appreciate reader make a suggestion.

Cathy thank you for your feed back, much appreciated. That’s a good point you made about “From Elsewhere.” I just assumed that readers would know it means blog articles I found somewhere else. But I can see how it’d be confusing to someone who’s not familiar with this format. I’ll keep that in mind! As for “8164,” for the same reason, it’s for someone who’s been reading this blog for a while. To be honest I never given much thought about how I sub-title these, or even the main titles of my blog articles. Sometimes I just put what comes to my mind at the time. :)
Thank you for reading and thanks for reminding me that I have a blog!. Been so swamped with work lately to blog.
