Happy Birthday PhIxDA Design, brain monkey, proposal, suggestion | (2)
So I was thinking about Lee's post from about a month ago "almost there" where he suggests we have a competition of some kind in honor of PhIxDA's first post. I wasn't sure what to do, then I remembered Chris's comment where he pleeds: Do anything! Design something, code something, post something, promote something. Do something! Anything! So I did something, I dug through old files until I found a PhIxDA logo I started a year ago. I made some adjustments uploaded it. I'm not saying we have to use it, I'm just "doing something" in honor of PhIxDA turning turning one. ...

Dictionary.com gets a face lift Design, brain monkey, impressions | (3)
Looks like the dictionary.com group has given the website an updated UI. I'm glad since I have been using this web service as long as I can remember. I am assuming this is the start of a new UI for the ask.com group as well since they own dictionary.com. Might be an interesting one to follow. The new UI is very web 2.0 in its style which is good. My only complaint is the new results layout. i had become so used to the last layout that this one gets to me a little. But I'm sure they did their homework ...

Arranging Hues brain monkey | (1)
xrite.com has a test that asks users arrange color tiles from one hue to another. The lower the score the better; Zero being perfect. I managed to score an 11 in approximately 6 minutes. I'm not sure what this means, but it was a fun exercise!

Among other things brain monkey | (2)
I'm thinking about the way I look up words - or the way I used to look up words. You know, like in a dictionary. I employ some quick fuzzy math to calculate the depth of the first letter and then I eyeball the thickness of the book. I estimate how many letters, how many words and how many pages come before. How many after. I open the book and if I am really really lucky I might be close. Now the flipping and skipping begins. Half steps towards the word. Single page scans and turns. Ah ha!

Almost there blog, brain monkey, proposal, suggestion | (3)
Just thought I would make it known that Phixda is coming up to its first year of being together. The official date of the first post is October 4th, 2007 by The Magician. In honor of this I say we hold a little competition among ourselves and the group at large. What I am lacking however is ideas for what to do. We could make backgrounds, try designing a theme for the site again, build an RIA etc etc. So lets discuss what we could do and make it happen. We should set a deadline of next Wednesday for a ...

Re-Usability Good Idea, best practices, brain monkey, impressions, opinion | (2)
I know this may not seem fitting for the context of this blog, but we do focus on usability and to me the usability of tangible things is something we can discuss as well. With that stated I finally have the chance to use the CA Redemption value seen on recyclable products. The "usability" aspect of glass bottles, aluminum cans and plastics is enormous. In its life time such things can go from a the siding of a house to a beverage can and finally into foil used for baking. I have always recycled but never have I wanted to ...
