Radiohead Remixes
I wanted to share a remix an old co-worker of mine, who goes by the name Umami, of the Radiohead song Nude. I think it’s really good. If you do you too, you should vote for it.
You can also see him perform live at Seattle’s lovely McLeod Residence this May 17.
Clay Shirky on Cognitive Surplus
While I was at the Web 2.0 Expo last week I saw Clay Shirky give a talk on Cognitive Surplus. Out of all the things I learned at the event this one has really stuck with me. You can find the the full transcription online as well.
I need to get his new book “Here Comes Everybody” which is about organizing without organizations. You can watch the interview of him discussing the book on the Colbert Report.
Multitouch me
Multitouch interfaces seem to be all the rage right now. I just got back from Mix and SXSW and saw several examples of multitouch devices from the Surface to some very budget versions using Wiimotes and IR LED gloves.
But I think this super giant interface that was shown at CeBIT might have them beat. It looks like it works much in the same way as the Surface only on a super jumbo scale. Check out the video:
Mix 2008
Just wrapped up Mix. I was on the panel “Making it Simple: Designer/Developer Workflow.” It was a great group of people. I wish we had more time to continue the conversation. I want to thank Barbara from Microsoft for putting us all together.
All the Mix sessions and keynotes are online so be sure to check them all out.
I will write up more about the experience soon.
I’m currently at the airport waiting for the next lag of my flight to Austin for SXSW!
Mix 2008
I’ll be on a panel at this year’s Mix event, talking about workflow and process and such. It’s a pretty talented group of people and should make for a good time.
Making it Simple: Designer/Developer Workflow
Speakers: Marcelo Marer (Avenue A Razorfish), Ken Azuma (Second Factory), Robby Ingebretsen (Identity Mine), Ryan Lane (Wunderman), Mark Ligameri (frog design), Robert Tuttle (frog design)
Audience: Creative
Session Type: Panel
How do you combine a designer’s vision with the requirements of productive software? Left brain/Right brain workflow is a sophisticated problem that impacts us all but has no easy answers. Industry experts will share their learnings and invite you to join in on a lively discussion about the merits and costs of different approaches.
