Your presentation was great, and it looked great in the photos! I hope you get the chance to use it with some older children, and inspire them to think a bit about what they see on a computer screen and how it got there.

What are the top 3 commandments of Web UX?…

I’m interested in understanding where you are coming from in asking this question. Are you just getting started in design and looking for pointers? If yes: * C.R.A.P – Consistency, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity * Nielsen’s Usability Heuristics:…

Comment on The UX Designer’s Downward Dog: Designing in a Lean Environment by Andy Cowin

Well articulated! I don’t come from a design background but I totally agree with you.

I have tried to adopt a facilitate, collaborate and integrate mentality with every team I’ve been involved with. Being able to understand that everyone is approaching the solution from a different perspective is vital. I believe, ‘Walk a mile in another (wo)mans shoes’, should be our mantra.

Great write up on a hardly talked and difficult about topic! I’m not quite sure how I’ll solve my web data entry problem, but it was interesting to hear about your approach.

Comment on XML and Resume Writing by K. Callis

K. Callis — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:25:47 +0000

I have never been cursed with having to produce a resume in M$ Word. I think my first resume was developed under WordStar. Then for grins and giggles, I did my next resume in TROFF.

A little older and a little wiser, my next move was LaTeX. I will say that my pdf version is beautiful, but the HTML version leaves a lot to be desired. Of course, there was always the pimps (Contract Agencies) that wanted the resume in M$ Word format.

There are filters to convert a dvi file to HTML, rtf, and even open office, but the conversion was never smoothly transfered. I knew there had to be a better way to make a resume that flowed easily and allowed me to tailor the resume to meet the needs and requirements.

Welcome to XML Resume Library (http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net). Allows for the creation of a resume that will dump in pdf, html, text, or RTF. Allows for easy customization of the resume without a lot of stress.

The only problem is that the developers of the app stopped working on it several year ago. Does it get the job done? Yes it does! Is there a need for updating of the schema? Definitely!

But if you are a XML type, then by all means, take a look at this package. I have it running under both Linux as well as Mac OSX

Comment on Understand iTunes XML: Port Your Music Library from Windows to Mac by Alex Forbes

Great writeup, and thanks! I’ve edited my XML before for my PC machines, but had been out of the Mac loop for some years when I got this new Mac. I probably would have forgotten the file:// part…
