Opinion: Capturing the Ineffible
I got in touch with a friend recently, kinda randomly. He’s an incredible motion-graphics designer, and I’ve always admired his skills. He recently wowed me with not only a beautiful short-reel, but some User Interface work he’d been doing for mobile devices. I was surprised: our worlds were converging in a way I hadn’t anticipated.

Oomph for Firefox
Belgian developer Pascal Van Hecke put together a great Greasemonkey implementation for the MIX Online prototype, “Oomph.” Inserting lines of JavaScript automatically in any page?

MIX Online on istartedsomething.com
Big thanks to Long Zheng for the great write-up on the MIX Online re-launch. He brings up a great point about the site: In fact what’s pretty amazing is that the “MIX Online” site is validated 100% XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant. That’s something worth noting for a Microsoft site. My fellow Designer/UXE, Nishant Kothary, really [...]
