Worst. Graph. Ever.
I came across this graph today whilst doing some research on RSS market penetration. I’m sure there was a better way to display this information.

The Twits
I had clearly stated on my feed page that I was no longer using the service and had only ever made 3 or 4 posts on it over a period of six months. But I still got email notifications from Twitter every week informing me that another random person twit had subscribed to my Twitter feed.
For me, Twitter is a solution in search of a problem.
Twitter is not productive. The signal to noise ration is way too high. Using it in a controlled environment (or locking off your account so that only certain people to send you updates) I can start to see its usefulness, like in applications similar to In/Out at 37signals. But there are too many people out there using this microblog system to diarize every microscopic detail of their lives whilst constantly in search of someone who cares.
I don’t care what you had for lunch today. I’m out.

The first media article I’ve ever seen about accessibility in gaming.
“ If you are a designer worth your salt, you know that no design project begins with creativity. Instead, it begins with client- and/or context-specific discovery, and lots of research to help you understand the fundamental nature of the challenges at hand. All designers must guard against the urge to invest in specific creative ideas before becoming intimately familiar with the contextual landscape of a design project.
