My article on how video game design provides lessons for website designers just got published on Boxes and Arrows. Very excited!
Boxes and Arrows is a peer-written industry journal for information architects, interaction designers, graphic designers and other user experience professionals. Readers vote on story ideas that you submit and then the editors greenlight your piece if you get enough votes.
('Boxes' and 'arrows' refer to the diagrams that designers have to draw to show how you move from screen to screen on a website and what happens where.)
All those hours playing Singstar, Age of Empires and Call of Duty 4 on my PS2, and claiming the Playstation as a tax deduction, just paid off.

They just keep on coming
I beg to differ, Carme75Conne52. I think, somehow, physical pain is still out there, somewhere, on this planet.

Street view hits Melbourne
Thanks Colette for letting me know that Google street view has now expanded to Melbourne, which has allowed us to see our little house in Flemington in all its glory. It looks hot and dry in the photo. And clean. And empty. Fabulous that we can see it and kind of scary. I am so looking forward to moving in there and rattling around all those rooms. It's a frequent fantasy of mine when I scan the plants at the Union Square market and obsess over Kitchen Aid appliances in Williams Sonoma. Might sound nuts but Jus and I have started buying stuff that we know we won't really use here but we know we will need (need? read: can buy cheaper here than home and may as well) in Australia. Like extra place settings of silverware. And said appliances. And clothes. I don't expect to buy any clothes for about 3 years when I get home. Especially winter stuff. I don't think I will ever need to buy another coat again. (I can already hear Jus throwing that one back at me in 2031.) Ugh, just thinking of winter stuff makes me feel sweaty.
