The google OS - FINALLY

It seems that Google really was making an OS all this time they said they weren't (but we all knew they really were). This will be a great asset in the OS wars and maybe get all the companies off their butts and get them thinking more user friendly (instead of money for them friendly). Check out the google blog link below for all the fuzzy details.

Design for the ages

The time to design is now... Not later...

Think about it for a minute when was the last time you saw something that inspired you? When was the last time you saw something that was so well designed or executed that you were like holy crapola?

And you just thought to yourself of your answer but the real answer here is not likely any time in the near past...

The last time you saw something great was when you were a kid and you realized something for the first time. Like oh that's a screwdriver but electric and it works twice as fast and harder than this thing I am using. Like the time you first learned to velcro your shoes and you thought velcro was the greatest invention ever.

It's the first experience that a user has with a new product or idea that is the most critical. If you can get that person to feel like they are the first to discover your product and that it can spark some idea of their own. And it can then be carried into other generations of your product. A recent example of that would be the iPod. The first model was great but every model succeeding the first is pretty much the same thing with a new color.

And there is no time like the present we seem to be at a lul of great ideas right now or at least nothing that has impressed me, not even the iPod.

Design on!!!

Heckboy II

This weekend we watched the movie Hellboy II. I will say that it was fantastic. The story was a little drawn out at times but it is all made up for in action and visuals. And if you haven't seen the first movie you need to see that also. I could continue to tell you why to go and watch these movies but I don't need to they speak for themselves.

Go see this movie!!!

New DSi



Come on be for real Nintendo. This is you upgraded DS. How dissapointing!!!

With silly upgrades like a new camera and internet and downloads you might as well realease a new DS every year just like Apple does. We have waited forever for a new DS and this is what you give us... nothing. When the PSP and IPhone gets an upgrade at least the people that bought the previous versions can upgrade their software. Lets face it the dual screen and stylus were cool when it came out but can't we get a little more innovative now Wii expect more from you than this pathetic showing.
Let's face it we were all expecting something more like this!!!
