MapQuest’s New Logo
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Better than before, but still amazingly awful. If you need a video to show how clever your logo is, perhaps you should try again. I thought maybe the Q was a very poorly-drawn magnifying glass.
• Acquisition, Part One
Thursday, April 15th, 2010So how did I go about deciding I wanted to make iPhone apps, getting acquired, and becoming an executive at an award-winning iPhone development company? I went out drinking with Brent Simmons. Everything after that is kind of a blur. About a year ago, I happened to be flying in to San ...
AppStarAwards
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Glowfish is a finalist in this year's content. Even better, ReadWriteWeb calls Glowfish an "early standout." We're thrilled.
Typography for Lawyers
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010My new response to anyone who says, "oh, you understood what I meant."

TUAW Reviews KeyGrinder
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Another kind review. One thing that people have pointed out to me is this line: KeyGrinder isn't the most visually attractive app you'll ever see, but it doesn't need to be pretty. As the designer of the app, it would be easy for me to read this the wrong way. While ...
Bill Gates on the iPad
Monday, February 15th, 2010On BNET: You know, I’m a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard - in other words a netbook - will be the mainstream on that[...] Yes, users are clamoring for more pen interfaces.
Clients From Hell
Monday, February 1st, 2010This is a blog dedicated to anecdotes of design clients asking stupid questions or saying stupid things. I've always been a user advocate; what professionals consider to be "stupid" is really just a demonstration that not everyone knows what you know. If you make a living doing design work, you ...
