You Eye, a Blog For Designers

I have a guy that works for Teqlo who does all of our design work, from our website to the application to the component UIs that we build. He’s really a talented designer, so I was excited to see that he had entered the blogosphere (quietly, I would add, I only found out when it [...]

Ebay Pilots Feedback 2.0

Back in August I wrote a few posts about reputation and problems people had getting Ebay to remove bogus ratings. My view on this topic is threefold:

SJ Mercury Facelift

The Merc has undergone a much needed update in the look-and-feel department.

On a serious note, there [...]

Business Practice vs. Business Process

“The business processes that’s not even called Business Process. The process orphans. The nuisance. The stuff that actually take most of our time. What I’d call Business Practices.”

Business process is how other people define the jobs they don’t do… business practices (aka tasks) are what people actually do when they work.

Business practices are far more [...]

Cause Marketing

But is the rise of philanthropic fashionistas decked out in Red T-shirts and iPods really the best way to save a child dying of AIDS in Africa?

No, but the pairing of celebrity and marketing is really about optics over substance.

Want to save the world? Great, start in your own neighborhood [...]
