web techniques gone amok

It's amazing how ugly you can make something if you try just a little. Oh, and let's see - let's make navigation as confusing as possible and, while we're at it, rehash news that's already featured in a zillion places - oh, that's leveraging content, I get it [yawn]. Way not to go, CMP!

I dunno - just check it out

From Fred Langa's enewsletter: BeezleBugBit. Some interesting stuff - and some pretty awful stuff.

And from Stanley at Puppet Press Journal, here is a site worth poking around in for a while: Erwan Bezie's stuff.

listening

Thursday night went to hear The Jeremiah Long Band again at Caffeine in South Norwalk. They're good! Not a huge crowd, so they were relaxed and obviously enjoying playing.

What font am I?

More sillies:

redensek.gif Wowie! I am Redensek! I am techy yet cute, and pretty much all around cool. Everyone loves me! I'm fun, popular, and can mold myself to fit right in to any situation.

My favorite illusion: shrub is in charge ...

Outside of that one, there are plenty to look at, pick apart, watch interactive demos of, learn about, etc. at ILLUSIONWORKS.

This is one of my favorites:

The site isn't gorgeous, but is packed with information and examples. Time Sink rating: 10 (out of 10, 10 being the best).

I’m a red-winged blackbird

You spend an incredible amount of time primping, preening, and posturing to attract the opposite sex. As much as you want to attract that devoted love, though, you know these efforts serve another purpose: rivals won't enter your territory because of your intimidating presence.

At least according to The Mating Game on eNature.com, web home of the National Wildlife Federation.

"When a male Red-winged Blackbird detects another male in its territory, it approaches the intruder, drops its wings, and raises its beak, all of which serve to make the bird appear large and intimidating. The male exhibits the same behavior when it approaches a female. But it's not trying to frighten off the female. In both instances it's demonstrating its fitness and dominance. Presumably a female will be most interested in mating with a male that can defend a territory and, by extension, provide a steady supply of high-quality food."

This is a GREAT site!

well, this is one way to drive print sales ...

Weekly World News says if you want to know why the three-legged skater was banned from the Olympics, you have to actually BUY the "paper." You won't find it on the website. If the carrot doesn't work, try the stick. WEEKLY WORLD NEWS SITE

The info is good, but ...

HFI has quite a bit of free information on the site: Human Factors International.

My main problem is it is one of the more annoying sites I've visited. The pages (asp) are very slow to load, navigation is slow, and the menu bars are EXTREMELY annoying - they pop the images into place o n e a t a t i m e and veeerrryy slowwwlllyyy.

Is the information I read good? Yes. Would I hire them to recommend usability fixes for our websites? Not unless they fix their own.
