Proud dad of a generationArticle permalink

Great interview of Loren Brichter by Ellis Hamburger on The Verge.

From the widely adopted pull-to-refresh to the Tweetie sidebar and stacked panels, Loren Brichter has indeed given birth to a new generation of applications.

Sparrow would not exist if it wasn't for him.
We're now lucky enough to have him as an advisor.

I can't wait to see his secret projects.

A job perfectly done.

Restroom state of mind

It's difficult to evaluate the general mood in a company.
From the few experiences I had (6), the restroom rule proved to be right every time.

The rule is quite simple.
There is a direct relationship between the level of 'happiness' and the restroom cleanliness.
The happier, the cleaner.

I was once working in a merger & acquisition firm in London and the restroom were worst than in a nursery. People were obviously either fascinated by wall pee patterns or just deliberately urinating in a way that let them express their anger in the most stupid way.

If your office toilets are dirty, don't blame the cleaning lady, you're the one doing it wrong.

Magic InkArticle permalink

Bret Victor's Magic Ink is without any doubt the best thing I have read on UI/UX design since I started designing applications.
Do yourself a favor and read it (twice).

I also strongly recommend Bret's video presentation at CUSEC 2012: Inventing on Principle
