Signposts for the week ending June 12, 2009

by Adaptive Path

Apple’s massive wall of pulsating app icons entranced us, as did Oliver’s simple fluid dynamics simulator.

Monster’s new tabletop universal remote control scared us.

Matt Jones’s presentation on the convergence of products and services echoed some of Brandon’s thoughts from earlier this year.

Rebecca Blood passed along a list of recent design books from Design Observer as part of her annual roundup of summer reading lists.

Controversy raged at Adaptive Path this week on these questions:

Does Hugh MacLeod offer insights on creativity or just amusing doodles?

Do netbooks truly inhabit the zone of suck?

Do we really need fewer engineers and more anthropologists, or do we already have plenty of both?

Is Twitter really “the preserve of a few”, and if so, does it matter?

How much of the short film Deadline was done with real sticky notes, and how much was Photoshop?

Is The Uniform Project an inventive approach to a public art project, or narcissism masquerading as awareness-raising?

Where do great ideas come from?

At Adaptive Path, our ideas are driven by the work we do. We do consulting for user interface and user experience design, and offer conferences, training and education for UX designers.
