An alternate universe
On the way to the Apple Store today to buy AppleCare+ for my wife’s new iPhone 5, we passed the new Microsoft Store, coincidentally in the middle of their Surface with Windows RT launch. (That is actually the product’s name. “Surface with Windows RT”.) They had set up a table and an Xbox demo in the hallway and were…

How Many People Walk in the Streets of Melbourne?
The Pedestrian Monitoring System Data Visualization [vic.gov.au], designed by OOM Creative, consists of a simple, annotated map, but of a relatively novel data source.

The Magazine’s introductory article explains it in detail, but here’s the short version: the same…

The Windows RT Demo
The Windows RT Demo: Watch the video at the bottom of the post. Just look at The Verge’s Ross Miller try to use that thing. Now imagine a normal, everyday consumer using it. Yes, this is the *final* build of Windows RT. I’m believing more and more that we’re watching a total fucking nightmare for Microsoft unfold…

Designing Screens Using Cores and Paths
Imagine you’re on one side of a grass lawn and you want to reach the bus stop on the opposite side. Do you walk on the sidewalk around the edges or cross in the middle? Assuming the grass is dry and it’s not prohibited, you’d probably take the shortest path and walk across the lawn to the bus stop. If others have…

“If you have two choices, choose the harder. If you’re trying to decide whether to go out running or sit home and watch TV, go running. Probably the reason this trick works so well is that when you have two choices and one is harder, the only reason you’re even considering the other is laziness.” - How to Make Wealth

Our findings add to a growing body of evidence suggesting that energy expenditure is consistent across a broad range of lifestyles and cultures. Of course, if we push our bodies hard enough, we can increase our energy expenditure, at least in the short term. But our bodies are complex, dynamic machines, shaped over…

Posting more on alexbogusky.tumblr.com
I wanted to give followers on Posterous a heads up. Posterous has been real slow and wonky for me for a while and I just can't get the love back since the redesign. So I started a Tumblr blog to give that a shot. For the time being at least I'll be posting over there and trying to figure that system out. I hope this…

It’s a refuge for a lot of organizations and people that aren’t very agile. The original idea is great. It stands for releasing software…
