Bookmarked via Ma.gnolia on Friday, June 27, 2008 @ 10:59 CDT by Daniel Andrlik
Another well-written and insightful post from James Bennett on the ridiculous conflict that seems to spring up between designers and developers. Honestly, Bennett’s writing is so good, you should really just subscribe to him, NOW.

This is a very cool development in the area of brain-machine interfaces, and will probably propel artificial limb technology by leaps and bounds. It will be wonderful… until the machines rise up and overthrow us.

An interesting essay illustrating how human behavior is not rational. This isn’t a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention, but it bears repeating less we get too full of ourselves.

A fascinating article providing an anthropological take on virtual worlds like Second Life and games like World of Warcraft. It’s well worth a read.

I’ve been toying with adapting my site code to do this sort of thing. It’s always nice to see when someone else takes the time to publish their solution. I don’t know if I’ll end up doing exactly the same thing, but this post certainly gave me some ideas.
Minimal

I’m kinda digging the new design of James Bennet’s site with the minimal look. It almost makes me think I’m going in the wrong direction by trying to go bigger and more multimedia on my site. That being said, I tend to think these minimal extreme designs (while being more content focused) are actually more difficult for users to navigate without directions, so I’d probably need to find a sweet spot in the middle. However, Bennett’s minimal approach is wonderfully readable.
Marketing Sucks

This is a really great post from Chris Penn. In it he discusses how marketing, as a discipline, has a branding problem and has managed to ruin its credibility with its audience. He argues that short term thinking has resulted in numerous bad decisions that have been detrimental to a marketer’s goals.
A lot of this kind of thinking is old hat to people who have been following and are excited about social media and permission marketing, but this article is a particularly cogent description of the issue, as well as how to correct it.

This is a great post from Andy Ihnatko on writing. It’s a bit tongue in cheek, but he’s got a valid point. It’s certainly something I am guilty of, as are many others I know. Read it, let it marinate, choose what you want to do, and then do it.
