Movies in Context

Jeff Gates proposes organizing a region’s movie showings by time instead of theater. It occurred to him because, as a parent, the most relevant piece of info isn’t where a film is showing, but when — because of scheduling a babysitter.

Such a system resonates with me, because I’m often in the mood for ‘a [...]

Muy Bueno Muybridge

Ostensibly a biography of Eadward Muybridge, whose motion studies fathered cinema, Rebecca Solnit’s River of Shadows is more an historic tapestry of early northern California.

I caught it at the Parkway last night, and, well, I’m hazarding a guess that the film is simply too weird for most moviegoers. The movie is pure confection from start to finish, taking its Manhattan 1962 setting and running with [...]

Themes in User Experience, Part 2: Empathy

A long time ago, I wrote that “non-empathic geeks become engineers, and empathic geeks become information designers.” Empathy is a critical quality for people working in the user experience field. We’ve developed numerous tools, from contextual inquiry to usability testing, to help us get inside the heads of the people who will be using our [...]
