Test blog

The initial test was composed on the phone, and I am typing this on my desktop computer. I was able to post blog entries to my non mobile blog since I got my Curve few months ago, but the process was slow and tedious - by the time I got to actually type anything, I forgot what I had to say...

Sending sending an MMS directly to the blog is a significant usability improvement which has been probably around for quite some time and I was not aware of it, which leads to an interesting question about knowledge, context and usability.

For someone, somewhere in the world, the obvious is a discovery.

About Me

My photo
When my kids were younger I often wished I had a traditional job: a firefighter, doctor or a bus driver, because it is difficult to explain to a toddler what a user experience architect is. But as it turns out, all I really do is making software easy and sometimes even fun for people to use. My boys are cool with that. I’ve been involved with users and user interfaces well before usability became a profession and the UI recognized as a critical component of software and devices. With over 15 years of experience in making complex UI frameworks easy to deploy, extend and use, my clients are medium to very large multi-national companies, and my good fortune is the opportunities that my work lends me to meet people all over the world. I have a special interest in solving complexities in workflow and localization of global applications, data visualization challenges around manipulation of vast actionable data, personalization and customization. I am also learning all the time – about people, methodologies, technologies and tools that enable the development of rich user experience in an increasingly more semantically aware WWW.
