ESPI at work: The power of Keynote | Edenspiekermann -
Nice overview of why you might want to use Keynote for UI design — I’ve just recently started with this workflow myself.
Keynote is an incredibly powerful design tool. Less then one year later, I now rarely (if ever) use InDesign to layout presentations, and I have started using Keynote almost exclusively for any web layouts I do. And not just UX wireframes, but full UI designs. On a recent project, I also used it for poster mock ups, banner designs and a bunch of other formats.
The Russians Used a Pencil: The Making of Frameographer -
Nice, in-depth look at the design process by the guys who built Frameographer.
“That children are now being conditioned to allow strangers to shove hands down their pants, that young women are subjected to genital inspections before being allowed to pursue their careers, that innocent people are adopting poses of humiliation and surrender in response to barked commands, is such a great harm to our society that no one with any sense of history could consider reducing the risk of an astronomically remote adverse event to be justification for TSA’s reprehensible actions.

An articulate commenter on The Economist’s excellent Bruce Schneier / Kip Hawley TSA debate.” — Nat Friedman - TSA debate

My model of management is the Beatles. The reason I say that is because each of the key people in the Beatles kept the others from going off in the directions of their bad tendencies. They sort of kept each other in check. And then when they split up, they never did anything as good… so John kept Paul from being a teenybopper and Paul kept John from drifting out into the cosmos, and it was magic. And George, in the end, I think provided a tremendous amount of soul to the group.
I don’t know what Ringo did.
