Interfaces Organized Neatly

Ain't nuffin' like a set of organized wireframe templates. They make me secretly really happy inside. Like, really.

Mysterious Stacks

I've been debating on this for a while now, but I think I want to add an additional layer of Jquery on top of my portfolio animations. I still need to figure out exactly how I want animations working, but my biggest concern is if this 'stacks' icon makes any sense to anyone visiting my portfolio. Guess it's time for a last minute user test.

Fonts That Piss Us Off

Ah, Comic Sans. One of Microsoft's most disliked children. Anyone else hear about IKEA's move towards Verdana? I, myself, find the typography controversy quite entertaining. Who would've thunk a font change could stir up so much hatred?

The Horizon, HCI, and Beyond

This along these lines are what I hope to achieve one day with the knowledge I am to obtain in the next few years of schooling.

FUN… F.U.N., but what is that… what makes something "fun"? How do you make something more fun, less fun, funner, funnest? (I know, I know - grammar is taking a back seat right now) But really - what makes a game fun?

Well, that's just one of the things I hope to perfect one day as a usability researcher for one of my favorite game companies of all time; Insomniac Games. Since I love dealing with people, I'll have to establish and refine the usability research process. Conducting usability tests, surveys, and gather information, I'll provide data to help in the design and development of games.

I truly want to identify areas of a game that would benefit from user research and conducts studies that provide accurate, timely and persuasive info to improve the ultimate end user experience of the game.

So, usability test and playtests on games and websites. Revision of design plans from specifications to prototypes, data-mining to full-on publications. All shall be done - it must be; improving the gaming world forevermore.

Original Mac Fonts, Lucida Grande Included

Mac fonts have always been welcomed in the computing community, but for some damn reason almost all Windows machines lack nearly all of them. I thought I'd help remedy that problem. Lucida Grande is especially important, I think, not only for designers, but also because it is the font of choice for my blog. Trust me, it's a necessity of life! Click here to download.

Goals: To Make My PC Interface Like This

For instance, this is DVDpedia for Mac OSX 10.4. I've yet to find software this pretty for PC users. The hunt continues!
