Nordkapp Blog " Blog Archive " Two decades of mobile UX
An excellent retrospective. The book _Mobile Usability_, which among other things chronicles the development of Nokia's Navi-Key interface, would also be a great place for context and history on mobile UX. Innovation from outside the industry (Apple) has definitely made a lot of manufacturers question traditional mobile UX strategies.

I wonder how far off we are from software sequencers where the hardware is "dumb" and just sends info off to an EC2 cluster. Hey, it worked for 56k modems...

Retro-futurism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I wish there were a -punk suffixed name for this genre, but I guess I'll take it. I'd also personally put Tale Spin in this genre, even though it's a cartoon TV series.

Mazda Nagare Concept
So many concepts these days are "skateboard"-style platforms. I have a feeling that if anyone actually released a skateboard-style car very few people would buy it. I hope to be wrong though.
