Avería – The Average Font
"I am not a type designer. This is the story of the creation of a new font, Avería: the average of all the fonts on my computer. The field of typography has long fascinated me, and I love playing with creative programming ideas, so it was perhaps inevitable that the idea came to me one day of “generative typography”. A Google on the subject brought up little, and I put the idea to the back of my mind until it occurred to me that perhaps the process of averaging, or interpolating, existing fonts might bring up interesting results. Luckily at this point I didn't do any more web searching – instead I grabbed my laptop and came up with an initial idea for finding what the average of all my fonts might look like – by overlaying each letter at low opacity. The results can be seen in the below image."

Mario Carpo: Post-Authorial Creation | berfrois
"This is where the design professions are increasingly feeling some discomfort.  Designers like to design.  They like to be in charge of all aspects of what they create.  Many designers are notoriously control freaks.  And rightly so: being in control is their raison d’être.  Traditionally, designers “authored” objects and “authorized” their production, reproduction, or modification.  Their signature had (it still has, by the way) binding, legal value–implying authorial privileges protected by law, and all the liabilities resulting from that.  But once again, digital technologies do not work that way.  When so many people can work together, who is in charge?  Who reaps the honors?  Who pays the damages?"

Advertising Coasters - The KATZ Group
"By contrast a Google search of coaster gets 67 million hits; billboard only gets 42 million hits.

And no wonder: coasters and or advertising mats are friendly (75 % of consumers rate them a non-intrusive advertising medium); they are popular (45 % of all visitors to licensed premises take them home with them) and they are convenient to use. After all, billboards are a bit bulky to slip under a glass in a beer garden or save insects from drowning..."

iPad Usability Study Reveals What We Do and Don’t Like In Apps Apple News, Tips and Reviews
"What users find very annoying according to the report are splash or loading screens. No matter how clever, or how easy on the eye, splash screens and animations become annoying very quickly. Startup sounds, in particular, are singled out as especially bad, because of the potential they have for unpleasantly surprising people who open apps in surroundings where noise might not be appreciated.

Also, almost universally, apps will benefit from having back buttons on nearly every page, and should aim for a simple homepage-like table of contents over more complicated navigation schemes. Users prefer a home base from which to operate without having to hunt through carousels or wade through long columns of thumbnails, and they always want the option to go one step back from their current position, because of accidental taps or to refer back to something they just saw."

Is That All? « yield thought
"Everything we create should aspire to this, should leave us – as programmers – wondering if that’s all and if we shouldn’t perhaps add a bit more. Scott Berkun (a genius and a craftsman) said all of this more than ten years ago and I’ve known about it for at least half that time, but it hasn’t really changed the way I write software because it’s too hard to just know when something’s simple enough."

christopher alexander’s fort mason bench | malvasia bianca
"As Alexander repeatedly points out, you can’t consider a construction in isolation, you have to consider the construction in context. And the context for this bench is rather remarkable: you have rather steep hills covered with trees behind you and to your right, you have the Fort Mason buildings to your left, and in front of you you have a gorgeous view of the San Francisco Bay, with Alcatraz and Angel Island in the distance."

Apple to xplatform developers: We’re no longer suicidal « counternotions
"However, 2010 is not like 1994. Apple has money, mindshare and the hottest platform to no longer having to beg. Today, Apple is more concerned about having to re-live its recent history — getting jerked around by Microsoft or held hostage by Adobe — than what it thinks would be manageable damage by a few developers that may leave its platform. Some may regard that as being arrogant. For Apple it’s the price of being in charge of its own destiny. To capitulate at the height of its newly found vigor would be suicidal. Suicidal Apple is no longer."

apotonick's active_helper at master - GitHub
"Helpers suck. They’ve always sucked, and they will suck on if we keep them in modules.

ActiveHelper is an attempt to pack helpers into classes. This brings us a few benefits

inheritance helpers can be derived other helpers
delegation helpers are no longer mixed into a target- the targets use the helper, where the new
methods are delegated to the helper instances
proper encapsulation helpers don’t rely blindly on instance variables – a helper defines its needs, the target has to provide readers
interfaces a helper clearly provides methods and might use additional helpers
Note that ActiveHelper is a generic helper framework. Not coupled to anything like Rails or Merb. Not providing any concrete helpers. Feel free to use clean helpers in any framework (including Rails and friends)!"

Content wants to be paid for – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report
"Go there, read it, and understand why (just like newspaper reporting and books) web content costs money and must be paid for or subsidized. Either that or it must serve some secondary benefit that brings in the bucks: for instance, a free web design blog might lead to paying web design gigs for its author, or so they say.

Then read Part Two: Paying For It, where Kissane considers each of these methods of subsidizing content “and how they relate to our work as content and editorial strategists.”"

Get Your API Right « Trek
"Every project I’ve worked on in the last two years has heavily involved the use of web APIs. Libersy at the time (no idea about now) had an architecture that was extensively API based, even for communication between internal applications (an architecture I strongly argued against, bee tea dubs). Since then I’ve futzed with web APIs almost exclusively. From very narrow focused uses like University of Michigan’s Bluestream Service, to more broad but still fairly local APIs like the Ann Arbor District Library’s soon-to-be-updated API, all the way to APIs of major web applications like Twitter and Flickr.

Constant exposure has turned me into a bit of a snob: I can’t stand working with a poorly designed API! If you’re about to design or release an API for the web and want to avoid the ire of your developers, I’ve summed up the best (and worst) of what I’ve seen into 8 rules:"

"The first category is best termed Design as an Exploration of Production. This category is the largest in terms of the number of .MGX products it contains, and is made up of products whose central interest is an exploration of what rapid manufacturing technologies can produce, which conventional technologies cannot. It is typified by complex detailing on both the interior and exterior of the product, geometries which would be impossible to achieve were any form of tooling required."

Worldchanging: Bright Green: Geothermal Gardens and the Hot Zones of the City
"The climate of the city is altered, in other words, literally from the ground up; using the functional equivalent of terrestrially powered ovens, otherwise botanically impossible species can healthily take root.

This domestication of geothermal energy, and the use of it for purposes other than electricity-generation, raises the fascinating possibility that heat itself, if carefully and specifically redirected, can utterly transform urban space. "

ignore the code: Realism in UI Design
"The goal is not to make your user interface as realistic as possible. The goal is to add those details which help users identify what an element is, and how to interact with it, and to add no more than those details. UI elements are abstractions which convey concepts and ideas; they should retain only those details that are relevant to their purpose. UI elements are almost never representations of real things. Adding too much realism can cause confusion."

Protovis
"Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction.
Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful, Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example."

Hilobrow | Middlebrow is not the solution
"During the night before the Christmas morning on which Wedge-Wheskit was carried off to the asylum, in 1852, leaving behind a weeping wife and hysterical children, he apparently banged out the designs for a series of six cards, in a frenzy of Victorian sensibility. (He screamed “legs and ligatures, the hideous ligatures!” most piteously, according to an orderly who assisted in restraining the patient.) Tuck and Sons commissioned their man, Haeckel, to add extra legs. Sales were as brisk as the creator’s madness ran deep."

It should also provide a more lightweight experience for your web server, because it won’t have to serve up the comparatively heavyweight image or Flash files to render a variety of design-quality fonts."

"A Sensitivity Tuner: To avoid being limited to the sensitivity of the promoter and in order to be able to detect distinct concentrations of an inducer using just one promoter, we see the need for a set of sensitivity tuners. These devices allow you to "tune" your biosensor, such that it reports meaningful concentrations of the inducer appropriate to the biosensor's application. The sensitivity tuner also modifies the PoPS output from the promoter's native behavior to a sigmoidal "on" or "off" response pattern."

About Tag: Permissions Worth Getting Excited About
"At the moment, any of us who use web applications tend to spend a lot of time and effort populating application databases to make them useful to us. But when we do so, we tend to lose control of our data. They go into a private database schema, and what access we have to that depends entirely on what the application allows us to do. Sometimes there are reasonable ways to get the data back out (some kind of an XML dump perhaps), sometimes not. But always the application is in control. And linking data across applications is, in general, somewhere between hard and impossible.

FluidDB can change all that by leaving the user in control of his or her data, granting the application only such permissions as necessary or desired, and ensuring that the user retains flexability and control."

Guilloches | The Ministry of Type
"There are still some extremely frustrating limitations though. First of these is the resolution of drawing the graph. I’m sure for most graphs the default resolution is fine, but when creating these patterns you need tiny increments. Tiny tiny ones. If the line is going from one side of the graph to the other and back again a thousand times in a couple of radians, you don’t want the graph program to start dropping line segments, or corners, or anything really. Grapher does allow you to increase the resolution, but it’s not sticky - change anything in the equation and it pops right back to the default. Every. Single. Time. The same thing seems to happen with the line thickness too - I wanted all the designs to be at 0.1, but it kept changing it back to 1.0. Frustrating! There are a couple of other UI things I’d change, like having an option to keep axes at 1:1 ratio to each other, even when you resize the window."

Accessibility is a harsh mistress [dive into mark]
"Back to Sam’s question. Few authors publish in true xhtml mode, fewer still include inline svg images in their xhtml, and fewer still include titles or descriptions in those images. But in theory, you can imagine a situation where a web author publishes in true xhtml mode, and the author includes an inline svg image within an xhtml page, and an end user is using a browser that supports true xhtml, and that user is using a hypothetical screenreader-of-the-future that implements support for the <title> and <desc> elements within inline svg images within xhtml pages, and that user stumbles across that page. It’s theoretically possible, therefore you have to do it. Period. End of discussion."

Business Natural Languages - Damp
"Based on my experience I believe that the DRY rule does not apply to Business Natural Languages. A major reason for using a Business Natural Language is to separate the business logic from the complexities of the under-lying system. When using a Business Natural Language, business users who are the most familiar with the domain can maintain the business logic. To a business user, a Business Natural Language should be no different than a group of phrases that describe the rules for running the business correctly."

No plug-ins required – it can only use features natively supported by the client
Compatibility – it has to work on every major browser on the market
Ease of use – no or near-zero configuration needed for standard use cases
Speed – it has to be fast, even for sufficiently large amounts of text
And now, after nearly a year of planning and research we believe that these requirements have been met."

Random antenna arrays boost emergency communications
"Antenna arrays have been studied and used for years, but the latest NIST work provides several new twists. Unlike the typical case in which antenna arrays boost signals to or from a distant target, a first responder’s radio would be relatively close to the portable transmitters, ideally within the perimeter of the array. More importantly, since disaster sites rarely allow for niceties of design, NIST studied the benefits of a fast and imprecise technique—randomly placed antennas combined with coarse signal matching. The signals produced by the radio and portable transmitters need to operate at the same frequency and roughly in phase, such that the radio waves are fairly well synchronized and thus build on each other. Phase-matching was performed manually in the experiments but might eventually be possible remotely."

AskTog: First Principles of Interaction Design
"The following principles are fundamental to the design and implementation of effective interfaces, whether for traditional GUI environments or the web. Of late, many web applications have reflected a lack of understanding of many of these principles of interaction design, to their great detriment. Because an application or service appears on the web, the principles do not change. If anything, applying these principles become even more important."

Heuristics for User Interface Design
"These are ten general principles for user interface design. They are called "heuristics" because they are more in the nature of rules of thumb than specific usability guidelines."

P2P Foundation » Blog Archive » Massimo Menichinelli: Open P2P Design as enabling Open P2P Systems
"Nowadays there is a common agreement about how our society needs to be able to change and adapt to the fast changes that happens in the economical, social and environmental dimensions. We are interested not in single and few changes, but in the ability to continuously introduce new ideas in our products, processes and organizations in order to maintain our conditions or improve them. We are interested in the ability to innovate our activities in what they do and how they do it."

Visualization Lab | Voyagers and Voyeurs: Supporting Asynchronous Collaborative Information Visualization
"This paper describes mechanisms for asynchronous collaboration in the context of information visualization, recasting visualizations as not just analytic tools, but social spaces. We contribute the design and implementation of sense.us, a web site supporting asynchronous collaboration across a variety of visualization types. The site supports view sharing, discussion, graphical annotation, and social navigation and includes novel interaction elements. We report the results of user studies of the system, observing emergent patterns of social data analysis, including cycles of observation and hypothesis, and the complementary roles of social navigation and data-driven exploration."

English Russia » Ellipse Wings
"In Belarus they use planes with ellipse wings. They say it has a few benefits comparing to the simple one or double winged planes, like the wing can be less in size, it’s more firm because the ellipse form is self sustaining, also there are now air vortexes by the sides of the wings which gives up to 30% increase in power compared to the traditional planes."

Vacuum - Edward Vielmetti is on the move in Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104: Buckminster Fuller on making money vs. making sense
"Very frequently I hear or read of my artifacts adjudged by critics as being "failures," because I did not get them into mass-production and "make money with them." Such money-making-as-criteria-of-success critics do not realize that money-making was never my goal. I learned very early and painfully that you have to decide at the outset whether you are trying to make money or to make sense, as they are mutually exclusive."

Amagi Games
"Tabletop gamers want different things, different kinds of fun, out of their games. However, it’s often tricky to discuss that, when a lot of the common terms add up to “munchkin” and “actor”, and other categories that oversimplify what people actually want out of their play. So, if your group wants to have a discussion without that clutter, and get a solid grip on what each person at the table wants from play, here are some less-simple, less-snarky terms."

V2 suggestion on WeGottaEat
I would love to believe that totally ripping off copyrighted material in a design that is <i>available for public use right now</i> isn't a stupid, hamhanded, self-destroying instance of outright copyright infringement and bad design. But I'm not seeing the argument.

The Bloat at the Edge of Duplication Removal (The Orange Model)
"Here’s what duplication removal does, structurally. It allows you to pull out redundant bits of pulp from big sections, yielding smaller sections, but the side effect is that you end up with more fascia. Duplication removal increases the ratio of fascia to pulp. If the amount of pulp you are able to remove exceeds the size of the fascia you introduce, the net amount of code decreases, otherwise it might increase.

In general, I think that a high fascia to pulp ratio is better for maintenance. It gives us is a higher surface area to volume ratio for our code. This can enhance testability and make it easier to compose new software – we already have smaller more understandable pieces."
