Orlando Johnson Will Return to UCSB for His Senior Campaign

May 8, 2011

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Orlando Johnson, who has led UC Santa Barbara to consecutive Big West Conference Tournament championships and NCAA Tournament berths for the first time in school history, has removed his name from consideration for the 2011 NBA Draft, he announced Sunday.

"I want to finish what I started," said Johnson. "I want to get my degree. When I went to LMU (Loyola Marymount, where he played as a freshman) my goal was to graduate and I don't want to leave college without achieving that."

Johnson, a two-time Big West Tournament MVP, two-time First Team All-Big West choice, and two-time league scoring champion, will return as one of the top players in the nation. As a junior, he ranked among the top-15 in scoring nationally at 21.0 points per game.

"I want to return and take my game to a new level," he said. "I am excited because we have so much potential. We've gone to two NCAA Tournaments and I know that we have a chance to be so successful."

UCSB head coach Bob Williams is pleased to see his top player return for his senior campaign.

"Obviously I am glad that Orlando decided to return," he said. "It was his decision and we would have supported him either way. He is the leader of this team and the opportunity to have him next year is huge for us. It is very exciting."

Johnson made himself available to the NBA in April. On Saturday, he attended a workout in New Jersey for several prospects and while he fared very well, he still opted to return.

"The opportunity to display my abilities was a good one," he said. "I know what I have to do now and I will work on those things."

With Johnson's return, the Gauchos will have much of their arsenal from 2011 back for the 2011-12 season. In addition to the league's leading scorer, they will also welcome back James Nunnally, who averaged 16.7 points per game and was an Honorable Mention All-Big West selection. Nunnally and Jaimé Serna were both selected to the All-Big West Tournament Team after UCSB swept three games and stormed to the title.

UCSB Shuts Out Pacific in Rubber Game

UCSB Shuts Out Pacific in Rubber Game

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Freshman pitcher Krista Cobb threw a complete game two-hitter on Sunday afternoon, helping guide UC Santa Barbara (23-22, 6-9) to a 5-0 shut out of Big West foe Pacific (17-29, 2-13) at the Tigers' Bill Simoni Field.

The Gauchos got on the scoreboard at the top of the third inning when Tiffany Wright hit an RBI single to the shortstop sending Jackie Conlin home. Amanda Ziegler then hit a single to left field and during the same play Wright was able to score on an error by the left fielder, putting the Gauchos ahead, 2-0.

At the top of the sixth, Jessica Beristianos walked with one out. During the next play, the Tigers committed two errors, allowing Kelsey Anderson to reach first base and Beristianos to come home for the second unearned run of the game.

In the seventh, Wright hit her second two-run homer of the weekend over the left field fence to give the Gauchos a 5-0 advantage.

Cobb allowed a one-out single in the bottom of the inning - just the second Tiger hit of the game - before striking out the final two batters swinging to lock-up the win for the Gauchos.

At the plate, Jessica Ziegler was phenomenal, going 3-for-3 with a run. Wright went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI. Christine Ramos and Katie McWhirter each had two hits apiece.

Cobb pitched all seven innings and allowed just two hits. She walked three and struck out seven. The win improved her record to 16-8, tying her with Jennifer Davis (2004-07) as the winningest freshman pitcher in UCSB history.

Gabby McDaniel (3-10) took the loss after pitching six innings and allowing three runs ¬- one earned - on eight hits. She walked two and struck out six. Chelsea Engle closed the game and allowed two runs on two hits while walking one.

The Gauchos will return to Campus Diamond next weekend for a three-game series with UC Davis. The conference set will begin with a doubleheader at noon on Saturday, May 2 and will conclude with a single game on Sunday.

... and blogging while the milk cooks for hot chocolate. Damn, but this is getting old. (4:39, the first streetcar of the day just went past.)

I'd been dreaming of rivers and of the long, flat, narrow boats that ply the inland waterways of Europe, before the scene changed to Stuttgart where I was leading a team searching for sites for new mineral-water wells. Strange, and strangely peaceful. The river scene was from imagined paintings in the style of Monet, all glittering reflections and dappled shadows and sunlight falling through weeping-willows. I am embarrassed at my dreaming self's taste for kitsch.

The Mauersegler (not swallows) may have left, I haven't seen or heard them in two days. This would be about the right time for their migration, consistent with the last few years. [Update: they're still here, but possibly in reduced numbers.]

To keep you up to date, the lump is diminishing daily to my great contentment. I mentioned having blood taken for a test. The results are unusual and inconclusive: everything is normal except GPT (liver) values which are well off the high end of the scale. A re-test looking for hepatitis was negative, and my liver is said to feel normal. We decided that the high values are perhaps a temporary "spike" related to the leg or the heparin, and will run the tests again in four weeks when the doc comes back from his summer vacation.

I'm walking more than after the business started (up to an hour a day, in instalments of 20 to 30 minutes each) but still much less in total than say a year ago at this time.

On the workfront, I spent four days figuring out how the do-it-yourself reporting system in the Münsters' database works, and a day and a half implementing this for the first time in a new area of the database. Putting it into the remaining areas will probably take only two hours per area. I find this amusing, and fairly typical of programming work: figuring out what to do is much harder than the actual doing.

Port Augusta, South Australia - "flying eggs" - 1947 - witness deceased

Hi all,

Thanks to an observant Adelaide individual, I have now found out that Ronald Ernest Ellis, the main witness of the pre Kenneth Arnold, "flying eggs", at Port Augusta in 1947, passed away on 15 July 2008, aged 87 years. He is buried in the Stirling North Garden Cemetery.

The same Adelaide man, also directed my attention to a photograph of Ellis, which I reproduce below.

In another previous post, I advised that I was aware that an Adelaide researcher, whose first name was Mishelle, managed to locate and interview Ellis in 2006. Although a preliminary report was available of this interview, no final report is known. I believe that Adelaide researcher Jeff Fausch, has now located Mishelle. Jeff is awaiting direct contact with Mishelle, to see if we can obtain a more detailed report of her interview with Ellis.

Update 10 February 2016.

I have now established email communications with Mishelle. She confirms that she did conduct an interview in 2006 with Ron Ellis. In addition, she advises that she may still have her interview notes and even an audio recording, at her home. However, she is away from home at the moment and it will be some time before she returns there. She says, when she gets home she will look for this material and advise me further. I will update this blog when I know more.

Least Developed Countries (LDCs)
Research and Policy Analysis on LDCs

Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized  "least developed countries" (LDCs)  as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. LDCs face more than other countries the risk of deeper poverty and remaining in a situation of underdevelopment. More than 75 per cent of the LDCs' population still live in poverty. These countries are also characterized by their vulnerability to external economic shocks, natural and man-made disasters and communicable diseases. As such, the LDCs are in need of the highest degree of attention from the international community.

Currently, the 48 LDCs comprise around 880 million people, 12 per cent of the world population, which face severe structural impediments to growth. However, the LDCs account for less than 2 per cent of world GDP and around 1 per cent of world trade.

Four United Nations Conferences on the LDCs were held in: 1981, 1990, 2001 and 2011. The Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries adopted the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2011-2020 - the so-called Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA).

Some Perspective on the Cincinnati Gorilla Killing

Some animal experts say the zoo was too quick to shoot the ape and should have attempted other ways to save the boy first.
“When gorilla or other apes have things they shouldn’t have, keepers will negotiate with them, bring food, their favorite treats, pineapple or some kind of fruit that they don’t know and negotiate with them,” Ian Redmond, the chairman of The Gorilla Organization, told CNN.
“I don’t know if that was tried or people thought there was too much danger but it does seem very unfortunate that a lethal shot was required.”
I think we would have been told if they had tried anything like that. The fact that they didn't, plus the outcomes of past incidents makes it very doubtful to me that they should have killed the gorilla. This video offers some majorly needed perspective...

Ian Redmond is well-known proponent of Bigfoot:

The Crystal Weapons of Prehistoric Spain

Even in modern times we are fascinated by crystals – from the diamonds we use as a sacred symbol of partnership, to the plethora of ‘healing’ gems that can be found in a New Age gift shop. So we can only imagine how ancient people viewed these transparent rocks with hidden structure.

Evidence of the esteem in which crystals were held can be found in a “remarkable set” of ‘crystal weapons’ found in the megalithic tombs of southwestern Spain. At the site of Valencina de la Concepcion, archaeologists have uncovered crystal arrowheads, an exquisite dagger blade, and cores used for creating the artifacts, that date to the 3rd millennium BCE.

The Montelirio tholos, excavated between 2007 and 2010, is “a great megalithic construction…which extends over 43.75 m in total”, constructed out of large slabs of slate. At least 25 individuals were interred within the structure , along with “an extraordinary set of sumptuous grave goods…the most notable of which is an unspecified number of shrouds or clothes made of tens of thousands of perforated beads and decorated with amber beads”. Additionally however, a large number of crystal arrowheads were found together, which be suggestive of a ritual offering at an altar. The arrowheads have the characteristic long lateral appendices of flint arrowheads from the area – but investigators remarked that “even greater skill must have been required to produce these unique features when using rock crystal.”

Crystal arrowheads from prehistoric Spain

Structure 10.042-10.049 is another large two-chambered megalithic construction made from slate slabs. In the second chamber archaeologists found the body of a young male aged between 17 and 25 lying in the foetal position along with a large set of grave goods. These included an undecorated elephant tusk laid above the young man’s head, a set of 23 flint blades, and numerous ivory objects. Additionally, red pigment made from cinnabar had been sprayed over the body and the objects surrounding it. The “remarkable crystal dagger blade”, however, was not found with these grave goods, but instead in the upper level of this chamber.

The rock crystal dagger blade appeared in the upper level of Structure 10.049 of the PP4-Montelirio sector, in association with an ivory hilt and sheath, which renders it an exceptional object in Late Prehistoric Europe… The blade is 214 mm in length, a maximum of 59 mm in width and 13 mm thick. Its morphology is not unheard of in the Iberian Peninsula, although all the samples recorded thus far were made from flint and not rock crystal…

The manufacture of the rock crystal dagger blade must have been based on an accumulation of transmitted empirical knowledge and skill taken from the production of flint dagger blades as well from know-how of rock-crystal smaller foliaceous bifacial objects, such as Ontiveros and Montelirio arrowheads… It was obtained from a large monocrystal at least 220 mm in length and 60 mm in width. Given that these single crystals are hexagonal, they would have a similar width along all their different axes.

The rock crystal source used in creating the crystal weaponry has not been pinpointed exactly at this stage, though analysis suggests two potential sources, “both located several hundred km away from Valencina”.

Given the technical skill and difficulties involved in creating the objects from crystal, rather than flint, researchers believe the motives behind their construction must have been very specific. They note that while crystal objects were found throughout the site…

The more technically sophisticated items, however, were deposited in the larger megalithic structures…As such, it is reasonable to assume that although the raw material was relatively available throughout the community…only the kin groups, factions or individuals who were buried in megaliths were able to afford the added value that allowed the production of sophisticated objects such as arrow heads or dagger blades.

In this respect, however, it is important to note that, paradoxically, none of the most sophisticated artefacts studied in this paper can be ascribed to any particular individual: the rock crystal dagger from Structure 10.042-10.049 was found in the upper level of the main chamber (10.049) in which no human bones were identified; in Montelirio, neither the core nor the arrowheads can be ascribed to any on 20 individuals found in the main chamber; lastly, in the case of Ontiveros, the only available publication offers no evidence that
the 16 arrow heads were associated to any particular individual.

It seems therefore reasonable to suggest that rock crystal may have had a dual significance for the Chalcolithic society of Valencina. On the one hand, it had a social significance due to the exoticism of the material and the fact that its transformation required very specific skills and probably some degree of technical specialisation. These objects would have had a “surplus value” based on the exoticism and rarity of the raw material, the techno-economic investment of their manufacture (a know-how limited to very few people) and their use linked to the world of beliefs and funerary practices. They probably represent funerary paraphernalia only accessible to the elite of this time-period.

On the other hand, rock crystal must have had a symbolic significance as a raw material invested with special meanings and connotations. The literature provides examples of societies in which rock crystal and quartz as raw materials symbolise vitality, magical powers and a connection with ancestors In her analysis of European Neolithic religion, Marija Gimbutas linked the ritual and votive use of white quartz nodules to a symbol of death and regeneration often associated with funerary spaces. Quartz and rock crystal were even portrayed as rocks with great supernatural powers in European Christian tradition. In his Lapidarium, King Alfonso X the Wise of Castile (1276-1279 CE) emphasised its power to connect human beings with the spiritual world, as well as its ability to protect them from danger.

Interestingly though, despite being found relatively frequently in burials of the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE, crystal implements disappear from later funerary monuments in the Early Bronze Age (beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE) – a “truly striking” development, researchers say, as it would seem “the use of this raw material as grave goods was almost entirely abandoned”, although the reason remains a mystery.

Personal Jesus

The Story Of The Nativity

Based on the Gospels of Luke and Matthew

Using all the bits which are usually left out, and leaving out all the bits which are usually left in.

In Bethlehem there once was an unmarried couple, Mary and Joseph, who didn’t even live together. Joseph is visited by an un-named angel who tells him, regarding Mary, to ‘take her as a wife’ (in other words to have sex with her) and have a son who will be called Jesus. This he does, getting Mary pregnant. They then get married.

Not long after, Mary visits a friend called Elizabeth who was technically unable to have children but who now finds herself to be miraculously pregnant. This sort of thing happens quite often in the New Testament, it seems. It’s Elizabeth who declares that Mary is now the ‘mother of the Lord’.

Mary and Joseph move in together, and not much happens until Mary gives birth, not in a manger, but at home. King Herod has been dead for a while and the Romans don’t interfere in Judean life very much, so things are pretty quiet. No-one turns up with gifts and there are no unusual astronomical phenomena to speak of.

About a month or so later, Mary and Joseph take the Christ child to the Temple of Jerusalem to have part of his dick chopped off. He bleeds quite badly (thus beginning the redemption of man). They then sacrifice some pigeons on his behalf and chat with an old bloke called Simeon and an old lady called Anna who declare the blood-soaked infant as the saviour of the nation of Jerusalem.

Joseph is then visited by another angel in a dream, telling him to take his newborn son to Israel. Joseph decides to ignore this and they choose to settle in Nazareth instead.

Second greatest story ever told!

Beloved, Now Are We Loved

Each day we can further learn to soak our senses in the wonder and love of a Father who's burning desire is to see us, made, fully alive.

I trust this pod cast will be something that will reinforce the undeniable assurance of; Beloved, now are we loved of the Father!

playing with yarn, part 1 (handspinning)

We've started getting together with friends to do things with wool. The ultimate aim is to teach knitting to parents and kids who are interested, but there's so much around knitting that we decided to do some lead-in activities first.

Because we live in an agricultural county, all of us have seen sheep in fields, watched them get sheared, and touched unwashed wool. We pulled out clean, carded roving and rolled it around in our hands to see what happens when it's twisted. The drop spindle is just a tool to help with that twist, and it can be made very simply with a toy wheel, a short length of wooden dowel to fit inside the wheel, and a brass cup hook:

You put it together like this:

And screw the cup hook into the top. This is a top whorl spindle, and it spins a little faster than the bottom whorl type.

That makes for a tighter, thinner yarn.

It also makes it a little easier to get the hang of spinning, I think.

After the spindle is assembled, you need a leader to attach the wool to. We used a loop of cotton string slipped around the shaft and hooked under the cup hook.

K showed us that an easy way to start spinning was to roll the spindle along one's thigh.

Or you can stand up and set it twirling with your thumb and forefinger.

I'm not really a spinner but I often think that someday when my life settles down, I might become one. It's very soothing and somewhat hypnotic to watch wool pull and twist into yarn. It also made for a fun first day of our yarn circle.

I decided to write this after seeing a bunch of mediocre to terrible tributes among a scant few good ones. But since my inspiration was solely reactionary, it was created too late for timeliness. Thankfully, Apple has newsworthy tech releases so often that we only had to wait a week before it was appropriate again.

Mind you, I’m not an Apple fan-boy in any sense; I’ve never owned an Apple product. Nonetheless, I can ride the coattails of a zeitgeist with the best of ‘em. I’ll leave it to Will to write about his apple-love, if he decides to pop his head up long enough to post here.

Bug Bear with the iPhone 4

Just found out from my cousin (and verified this with a friend) that there’s a touch screen bug with the iPhone 4.  Touchscreen phone 101 says that the screen must black out (i.e. be deactivated) when the phone is held to the face while taking a call.  Sadly, the proximity sensor / the software on the iPhone 4 has issues – which means that users taking a call on the iPhone 4 very often end up "touching" the buttons on the phone while on a call, resulting in the call being cancelled, etc.  This is plain silly.  This bug was supposed to be fixed with firmware 4.1 – but it’s not.

The amazing thing is that Apple has managed to keep this very quiet.  Had this happened to Nokia, Samsung, etc, I think it would’ve been a big hooha all over the Internet.

Then again, if you can forgive a handphone for not being able to receive calls (aka "the death grip"), what’s there not to forgive about a crappy screen?

Walking in Memphis...

We have been having a pretty low key trip, so far. However, we have been making special morning "Jessica outings" to keep her from climbing the walls of the house! Today we visited The Children's Museum, and she had a wonderful time! She loved wandering around all over the place! Her favorite exhibits were the toddler exhibit, the firetruck, the police car, and the Auto Zone (she really enjoyed turning the crank on the 4 cylinder engine!!)

She also enjoyed jammin' with Grandpa on the drums and piano!!

Her verbal communication is really beginning to take off. She has started calling my dad "Pa" and has started using a few other words as well!

  1. Jessica is a cutie! And you're looking great as well!

  2. Aww! Thanks! I feel much better this time around....I found it rather shocking while pregnant with Jessica to go from a size 2 my entire life to outgrowing the large size maternity shirts!!!! The dresses are definitely working for me!!!

Personalized gift cards on PVC

The challenge

To address the problem of fraudulent attempts to use or reuse paper gift vouchers, the Management Board of Ironwood Country Club tennis and golf club (California, U.S.), has implemented control measures and chosen to personalize their gift cards on PVC.

Evolis Dualys3

Evolis Dualys3

The solution

ID CARD Group, official distributor of the Evolis brand, conducted a needs assessment at Ironwood Country Club and soon recommended the use of the Evolis Dualys card printer.

The Ironwood club can also manage the codification and printing of its gift cards to avoid attempts at counterfeiting.

The result

Renowned for its durability and high-quality color printing, both single and double-sided, the Dualys printer did not disappoint. The PVC medium offers a greater level of professionalism, which is highly appreciated by the club managers.

"The card printer has been a great success. We can no longer do without it. We use it to personalize gift cards for the members of our Country Club and they love it. Thank you for all the assistance offered by the ID CARD Group after we purchased it," said Laura Stotts, HR Director at the Ironwood Club.

Chuck Heath, Jr. proposes a third party

Sarah Palin’s brother, Chuck Heath Jr., in a recent Facebook post, discusses the idea of a new political party:

This is an issue that I’ve been mulling over for quite a while. I wrote more about the way I’d set this up, but I wanted to get some of your feedback first. Let me know what you think.

Enough is Enough: Has the Third Party’s Time Come?

We’ve lost our way. The American political system is a mess. The divisiveness between Republicans and Democrats seems insurmountable and it’s getting worse every day. I could get into the reasons that this is happening, but I doubt that would change a thing.

It is very painful for me to see this country literally becoming unraveled at the seams… especially when I look at my own children’s future. I’ve watched friends and even family members break ties over political differences. I have watched good, smart people enter politics and seen them change for the worse over the years as they’ve become part of the political machine.

Political seniority often leads to leadership positions but has nothing to do with performance. Casting a favorable vote for something you may not even believe in, just to gain a committee chair or for some other future favor, is rampant in politics.

It’s a very dirty game and it’s the reason so many really talented people never get involved in it. It’s also the reason my sister Sarah Palin, has been so viciously attacked over the years. She refused to “play the game”. She has always stuck to her principles and because of that, she is viewed as a threat. I’ve watched people in both major parties do everything they can to demean and destroy her. And all for what… for trying to limit the size of government? For asking all of us to do our share? For insisting we spend less than we take in? For ending crony capitalism? For going above and beyond to support our military? For utilizing our natural resources in a responsible way? For praying? The list goes on.

Let’s face it. As it stands now, it’s impossible to be elected to a high national office without being a part of the Republican or Democratic Party. I propose that the disgruntled citizens of the United States… Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians… persons of every race, religion, economic status, and whoever else is interested, join together and form a new party. I’d simply call it, the American Party.

While I agree wholeheartedly with Chuck Jr.’s proposal, I don’t like the name. In 1969, The American Party was the name of George Wallace’s third party organization in his unsuccessful quest for the presidency. Any modern third party effort using the same name would begin with two strikes against it, being associated – however unfairly – with Wallace’s politics. I therefore nominate the name New Federalist Party. New Federalism, a political philosophy associated with Ronald Reagan, is all about limiting the size and scope of the federal government and returning much of the power it has stolen from the states and the people back to the rightful owners. I also think the name is a good fit for Gov. Palin, a Reagan conservative with a libertarian streak.

While I realize the amount of work which would have to go into building a new political party, I cannot argue against the need for it. The establishment which controls the Republican Party turned its back on Reagan’s principles as soon as the great president’s second term had ended. Since 1988, the GOP has allowed some of these principles to remain in its platform, but it has for the large part abandoned them in practice. Time and time again, establishment Republicans have attacked Gov. Palin and other good conservatives with venom almost as toxic as that of the Democrats. This is an establishment which seems unable and unwilling to learn from experience, as it loses key elections while arguing for Republicans to be more like the Democrats.

In short, the GOP has lost its way, and conservative Republicans hoping to wrest control of the party from those who hold it are on a fool’s errand. The GOP establishment would rather lose elections to the Democrats than share power with their party’s own conservatives. It is past time to turn our backs on the party which turned its back on us and get on with the business of building a New Federalist Party which is more in tune with the policies Ronald Reagan proved to be successful.

Conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Allen West and Newt Gingrich could be effective in building and developing such a party. But they will have to arrive at the same conclusion that Chuck Jr. and so many other Reagan conservatives have reached – that the Republican Party no longer deserves their loyalty.

The Hottest UX Articles You Might Have Missed

As the week comes to its end, I have a pretty hard time choosing which article to post for my weekly roundup of awesome UX articles. I come across so many talented writers and engaging resources each week, that I almost feel guilty for those that don’t make the cut. However, don’t fret – I’m keeping all of you in mind and you haven’t gone unnoticed! With that, I’m presenting you with the top 5 that I found would be most beneficial for you to read this week!

1. 6 Evil UX Things Companies Do (That Also Happen to Work)

6 Evil UX Things Companies Do (That Also Happen to Work) by Ben Snyder, published on A Better User Experience

No one said that UX had to be great to work. Unfotunately, in many instances, that is the case. We find several examples of services, companies, or organizations adopting terrible UX patterns that are working well for them. Ben, someone who has grown quite dear to me with my involvement in the UX field, has provided us with detailed examples of companies that have adopted evil UX patters that are working for them. You’ll be surprised by the results and the companies for that matter! Warning: for your own good and the good of your users, be cautious of taking them on as patterns, yourself. Resources for implementing good UX principles aren’t lacking – get reading!

2. In Defense of In-house Designers

In Defense of In-house Designers by Amy Marquez, published on UX Booth

An influential take on comparing design agencies to in-house designers, Amy Marquez comes to the rescue for all in-house designers, stating that they are more powerful than many may think. I agree with the aspects presented, particularly the fact that people in the corporate world do not understand what designers do. Fortunately, I’ve been able to touch base with influential UXers from powerhouse companies, such as Yahoo, for example. In this period of investigation I’ve found that some people have a hard time understanding the value of user experience when there are constant time and budget constraints. But, in order to alleviate this process, bringing the actual management teams to some sessions can open their minds to UX and allow them to understand design challenges in different ways than they had originally thought.

3. How Do Users Really Hold Mobile Devices?

How Do Users Really Hold Mobile Devices? by Steven Hoober, published on UX Matters

When you purchase your smart phone, I’m almost positive that the last thing you are thinking about is the best way to hold it in your hand or how the person next to you holds their mobile phone. It comes intuitively, which is the beautiful things about mobile user behavior. When delving into this topic further, it becomes clear that mobile device and UI designers are, in fact, pretty awesome people. Steven Hoober, an author that I’ve grown to become very fond of, has introduced the topic of how users hold mobile devices. He discusses a study he carried out on the way people naturally hold and interact with their mobile devices and found some intriguing data. How can this data affect the way movile UI designers produce in the future?

4. How To Design Your Website As Effective Marketing Tool

How To Design Your Website As Effective Marketing Tool by Gagan Randhawa, published on Usabilla Blog

This is a topic that I could not overlook, because I highly believe that a well-designed website is the most important marketing tool and the most important to get right. Gagan Randhawa provides us with nine useful tips on how to successfully design your website as an effective marketing tool. She provides information that overlap on basic usability rules. The article is an easy read, but such a powerful resource. I, myself, am eager to keep this list in my checklist for future reference!

5. Cultivating Empathic Design in an Analytical World

Cultivating Empathic Design in an Analytical World by April Dembosky, published on Financial Times, Tech Blog

“In the analytic, data-driven world of Silicon Valley, emotions often do not get factored into the latest product design.” This statement is something that would hold true some time ago, but, today, it’s largely false. Amy Dembosky discusses the “empathetic design process” in which a person approaches design and innovation that is connected to the experience that others have in the world. I believe that this process will increasingly become implemented in design strategy in good time. The world is in and of itself social and technology has caught up with that. It’s just a matter of time that we successfully and finally bridge the gap between behavior and technology.

Basic Beauty

Basic Beauty

The best reason for doing anything is the joy of doing it.

DB - The Vagabond

I've always been an analytical artist as well as a practicing one. A stage manager, once said to me, "Why do you talk about it so much? Why don't you just do it?" The answer was that I enjoy talking and thinking about it.
Ten or so years ago I became intrigued about the subject of "entertainment." What is it that enables someone to stand on a stage and do something such that hundreds of people will forget everything else and watch and listen. What is that magic? I knew I had it myself but I couldn't identify what it was.
So in my spare time I decided to see if I could understand it by seeing as many entertainers as I could. I went to operas, Broadway musicals, night clubs, orchestra concerts, jazz concerts, rock concerts. I watched singers, dancers, magicians and clowns. I saw people performing in huge arenas and concert halls and on street corners. Some were better than others and some had the unmistakable magic of the entertainer no matter what they did. But I still couldn't define it. Well, I kept searching and a day came when I finally saw it clearly, in a most unlikely place.
Damrosch Park in New York City is a place with a band shell. It's an outdoor performing area in Lincoln Center. It seats 3,000 people. I played there once myself as host of the Du bonnet Chamber Music Festival. In the summer they would book in various artists to perform - three different groups, one after another.
One afternoon a friend called to tell me that Liam Clancy was scheduled to appear there that evening, he and his wife were going and would I like to come along. I thought that would be fun so I did.
Liam Clancy was part of the famous Clancy Brothers Irish folk singing group. When it broke up, his brothers Tom and Paddy went their separate ways and Liam formed his group. But this is not about Liam Clancy.
He was second on the program following a young folk singer I didn't know, who was okay. When Clancy's group was finished my friends wanted to leave. But just at that moment Liam Clancy said "Stick around because you've got Percy Sledge coming."
Now I'm a classical music lover. I'm not a great fan of R&B/Soul. There's nothing wrong with it, I just never went seeking it out. But Percy Slege was almost an American institution. I didn't know he was still alive, much less still performing. So I begged my friends to stay and hear him, and we did.
He came out and stood there in a white suit, in a spotlight, with a microphone, backed by The Uptown Brass (a high quality Harlem big band) and sang. And he was riveting.
The place was overflowing with spectators. In fact, my friends and I were nowhere near the stage. We were way at the back, sitting under the trees. But I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I and thousands of other people were completely engrossed.
He sang all of his famous songs, including "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" and "When A Man Loves A Woman." During that song there was a musical bridge where the band played and he didn't sing. Instead he spoke about tthe song, and without bragging, but with a sense of the enjoyment of the privilege, he listed all the great capitals and countries of the world where he had sung that song. And just before the musical bridge ended he said "and New York City."
I will never forget that moment. It was like sunshine suddenly bursting into my heart and my head. I saw it. He loves his songs, he loves singing them and he loves singing them to other people for their pleasure and enjoyment. That's entertainment! It's as simple as that. And I knew it all along.
Thank you Percy.. Thank you forever.
