Quantum Leap 2.0

So I've been ripping on this show all week and I just watched the premier, and I was reminded of something. I always liked Quantum Leap.

AEA Day One

Five* Three highlights from day on at AEA Seattle
1. How to create bar graph with CSS
2. New vocab: Gray Box Comp, Guide Copy, Screen Test (accessibility, not casting couch) and "wisdom from the edge".
3. Don't make personas for a project and bury them. Keep them where you can see them.

*Started with the intention to write 5, lost my ambition.

As a fourth thing, I'm going with a Roadhouse quote: "I thought you'd be bigger".

I don't know why but I always imagined these UX/UCD guys to be literal giants (outside of EM, they're pretty normal sized) but it turns out they're just figurative ones. Its pretty awesome though.

Last seat on the plane

Going to be in Seattle the next few days for AEA 2007 Seattle. Color me wicked excited. I love Seattle. Only been here once before, but I loved it. Liscel's coming out this weekend too, which I expect will be a lot of fun. Speaking of the weekend, anyone want to suggest a good place for a late (10:30 or 11:00) dinner? I'm sure we'll find something but I always prefer individual recommendations.

I'm taking in the Seattle Public Library right now. It's pretty cool. I'm excited with what we'll have once the new Central Library opens in Indy but architecturally, its not even fair to compare the two. This building is inspiring. However, the mini-Mount-Ranier I was forced to climb to get to the building is another story.

You ever had the last seat on the plane, or for that matter, sat in the last row. Well this morning was my first experience with it and I guess I'm the last dufus in America that didn't know those seats don't recline. Not that any other seat on the plane provides any real relief but...really.

I have acute early on-set iPhone envy (damn you T-Mobile.) As such, I've been messing around with Google Maps on my MDA and I like it. Too bad it only (really) works over wifi, or "Wi-Five" as I like to call it. Back to the plane story, here's what I put together while I was sitting with perfect posture about 20,000 feet over ...Arizona?.... maybe? Anyway, I call it b00germaps. It uses cutting edge technology namely, Southwest beverage napkins. I'm tempted to take an hour to clean it up and try to make it funny, but I like the idea that it was planned, and finished in the air.

Well, I'm off. Cheers.
