A Commonly Missed Spinal Fixation: The Upper Lumbar Spine (Part 1)
When we think of lower back pain, we tend to think in terms of the lower lumbar spine and the SI joint. These joints and their discs are obviously important. However, we tend to miss fixations that occur just above – in the upper lumbar spine. Three questions come to mind: 1) Why is the upper lumbar spine so important? 2) Why do we miss the fixations here? 3) How can we adjust them?

The Body Is in Charge
By David Kent, LMT, NCTMB
Welcome to the first installment of "Keeping it Simple," named for my preferred method of instruction.
I like to keep things simple and I strongly believe learning should be fun.Not too many people would have thought I could have made dissection simple and fun, but let me show you just how my curiosity works.
There are five senses we learn from: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory. Everyone learns differently. I am primarily a visual and kinesthetic learner. The first time I learned about fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and adipose in massage school, I processed the information by asking myself several questions: What do these structures look like? What do they feel like? And is it possible for me to see them? Lastly, where could I − a naive massage therapy student − find the answers to these questions? This was, after all, 15 years ago, when massage therapy instruction was slightly less sophisticated. I didn't know, so I improvised.
The local grocery store has its own lovely lab called the meat department. To be honest, I initially found the answers to these questions by purchasing a whole chicken and dissecting it! The next day, I brought my chicken to show the class. My classmates thought my findings were cool, and soon thereafter, the teacher made this exercise a regular part of the course. Thankfully, today there are more impressive ways to learn about anatomy firsthand.
I had taken my first sip from the "cup of dissection knowledge" and I was hooked. It was this newfound addiction that led me to wonder how I could see, touch and study these structures in the human body. Ultimately, the answer to that question led me to create a full-body dissection course specifically geared toward massage therapists, acupuncturists and other allied health care professionals.
You might wonder how and/or why dissection is applicable or helpful to massage therapists. Let's think about it. Would you want a surgeon who has only read medical textbooks operating on you? Would you want a mechanic who has only watched engine repair videos working on your car? Of course not. You want somebody with real-world, hands-on experience − you want an expert who has a thorough and in-depth understanding of their field.
Massage therapist Anna Gallagher attended a dissection course and had this to say: "This was the opportunity for the senses in my fingers and hands to relate to my eyes. This put everything together for me."
The human body is a complex unit. As healthy, fully functioning human beings, it's easy to take our capabilities for granted, which is another reason why massage therapists can benefit from a course in human dissection. Often, such a course educates us in unique scientific wonders of the body that we wouldn't have otherwise known about or considered possible. I always am amazed at how often I find structural anomalies while dissecting the human body (G. anomalia = irregularity: a deviation from the average or norm; anything structurally unusual). Generally, anomalies are not taught in anatomy and physiology courses. However, it's important for all health care providers to consider the rare possibility of a structural anomaly when assessing the cause of a client's pain or dysfunction.
Sometimes, patients present with confusing, subjective complaints that are "out of the box." In these situations, I consider the potential causes of pain and/or dysfunction from an anatomical point of view. However, it's also important to remember that there are a number of other dynamics which influence pain and dysfunction, including nutritional, physiological, psychological, financial, professional and spiritual factors. While we, as massage therapists, cannot diagnose, we can assess patients by taking a thorough medical history and conducting postural analysis, range of motion (ROM), orthopedic, neurological and functional testing, and palpation exams. Each of these clinical assessment protocols is a means of narrowing down the origin of pain and dysfunction and designing a treatment plan.
Aside from typical discoveries, such as hip replacements, pacemakers, etc., I have encountered a few interesting anomalies over the years. For example, on one cadaver, the upper trapezius was missing; on another, the levator scapula had rib attachments bilaterally. What a mystery! I wish I could have known how these anomalies affected the regular activities in the daily lives of these people.
During another dissection, after reflecting the gastrocnemius muscle, I found two yellowish lumps, one proximal and one distal, on the lateral aspect of the soleus muscle. The larger proximal lump was approximately 12 mm wide and 35 mm long. Further investigation revealed that the lumps were lipomas (Lip = fat + G. - oma = tumor) that had taken the place of muscle tissue. Typically, the muscle fibers of the soleus slope infero-medially, which was the case for most of the fibers on the soleus of this specimen. The exceptions were the fibers between the lipomas, which were running medially and laterally. Interestingly, the posterior aspect of the fibula also had developed a unique ridge that protruded approximately 6 mm posteriorly from the head and neck of the fibula to the proximal lipoma. In case you were wondering, the anomaly was unilateral.
And here is one of my favorite cases. See if you can identify this muscle: We discovered a muscular anomaly while dissecting an 87-year-old female cadaver. It was present bilaterally, deep to the pectoralis major and immediately lateral to the pectoralis minor. Inferiorly, this muscle attached to the sixth rib, blending with the fascia of the external oblique. Superiorly, the tendon of this muscle blended with the tendons of the coracobrachialis and the short head of the biceps brachii as they attached onto the coracoid process of the scapula. Here are a few more hints: This muscle is an accessory derivative of the pectoral mass and is innervated by the pectoral nerves. It has a specific name that is 16 letters long, contains seven syllables, and has the following breaks: ---/--/---/-/---/--/--. Can you name it?
To see an image of this muscle before making an attempt at the answer, visit www.kenthealth.com. Other structures are labeled as well, including the pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, and other surrounding structures. If you do not have Web site access, see my next article for the answer!
I often wonder how these anomalies impacted these people in their day-to-day lives. The truth is, we will never know if an anomaly affected a particular person or not, since the only information we receive from most state anatomical boards is limited to gender, age,

--Comex Dec copper up 0.2% at $3.2690
--Weaker dollar helps copper reverse losses
--Traders grow cautious on China's credit markets
By Tatyana Shumsky
NEW YORK--Copper prices settled higher, shaking off earlier losses, as a weaker dollar helped offset worries about higher money-market rates in China.
The most actively traded contract, for December delivery, rose 0.55 cents, or 0.2%, to settle at $3.2690 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The dollar gave up earlier gains against other currencies, with the ICE Dollar Index recently trading at 79.19, unchanged on the day. Copper futures are traded in dollars and become less expensive for investors who use other currencies when the dollar eases.
Earlier in the day, copper prices had moved lower for the third straight day amid attention on China's short-term lending rates, which spiked to their highest level since June on Thursday.
"The market frets over Chinese money market conditions," brokers at Sucden Financial said in a note to clients.
China is the world's largest copper consumer, accounting for about 40% of global demand for the metal. Investors worry that a sudden liquidity crunch may trip up growth in the world's second-largest economy, weighing on China's demand for copper.
The money market worries come as the outlook on China's economic growth has brightened in recent weeks, with data showing manufacturing activity and cooper imports have increased.
"We still believe that China is the underlying support for the copper market," said Dave Meger, director of metals trading with Vision Financial Markets LLC.
Mr. Meger said that investors have repeatedly stepped into the copper market to buy the metal when prices moved lower, with the $3.20 level acting as a source of support.
Copper settlements (ranges include electronic and pit trading): Oct $3.2655; up 0.45 cents; Range $3.2400-$3.2655 Dec $3.2690; up 0.55 cents; Range $3.2340-$3.2730

We have been constantly surprised at the lovely features, brilliant quality of work and how much you really do get for your money. This extension has far exceeded our expectations (and we're quite a demanding customer)...
The support forum knowledge-base is vast and constantly active - we carried out a large amount of bespoke customisation on the extension and found pretty much everything we needed to know from browsing the existing forum posts. Customising to your hearts content is fairly easy, and the code is filled with excellent comments to help you on your way. On the odd occasion where we required a little extra info and thus posted on the forum, the response from the developers was fast and detailed - these guys really do care about their product and it shines through.
We would recommend this product in a heartbeat to anyone running an estate agency website - in fact in our opinion, considering the ease of use, functionality and look of iProperty, it would be crazy to use anything else.
A big thank you to the creators!
Sara & Jason

• Support the Kickstarter •
On December 20th, join us to sing and celebrate science and civilization.
Since our earliest days, humans have worked to transform winter from a season of darkness into a festival of light. Through community and technology, people across the world have taken the longest night and created something beautiful.
That deserves to be celebrated. Last year, you guys kickstarted a new holiday that honors the people of the past, revels in the world we've created together, and looks forward to a future that's even better. We raised over $8000 to fund a huge event in NYC, and other people across the world ran their own events inspired by it.
This year we want to do more. We want to do another great event in New York, giving 150 people a unique, intimate and transformative experience. We also want to help run other public events, and people in Boston, San Francisco, Seattle and LA are ready to make it happen.
But we need your help. Please support the kickstarter, and help us raise enough money to turn this holiday into a new cultural phenomenon!

particularly in the area of healthcare.
It is clear to me that the next big markets for robotics are:
- SMEs (robot workers and co-workers in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises)
- Medical and healthcare (nursing assistance, surgeon augmentation, operating room assistance, therapeutic assistance, home care, remote presence, hospital automation)
- Agriculture (robotically automated planting, weeding, harvesting, sorting and packaging)
- Embedded systems within our cars, trucks and taxis
Claire Delauney's Botiful Kickstarter campaign is in its last hours and as she crosses the funded line, Claire shares with us some of her strategies and insights into running a successful Kickstarter. (SF Bay Area Robotics Meetup) No, it isn't always easy or #botiful, but Claire's tips include:
- Have a captivating video with a clear message in the opening seconds.
- Engage with audience via updates – extend your story.
- Conversion rates are very low, so you have to reach beyond your own channels.
- It takes 100s of attempts to get media/blog interest.
- Be full time on your campaign, and in hindsight, also engage a PR specialist.
Jeremy Conrad, from Lemnos Labs, had some price point insights:
- Add 40% margin to your max cost estimate to protect against unforeseen.
This is a great tip because many campaigns that I've seen operate on a "we only charge what we'll need to manufacture". Firstly, this doesn't leave you with any margin when shit does happen, and potentially leaves you out of pocket or your backers without any rewards. Secondly, unless you only want to make one batch of your robot, how are you going to distribute in future?
Distributors need to have a margin on top of manufacture and if you set the public expectation of your price point below the final market price, then you aren't an attractive distribution prospect. It's not enough to think about how to fund the project. You have to think about how to manufacture and distribute afterwards, including packaging and branding, so that future products have some tie in.
I provided an introduction to the Meetup with some Kickstarter "robot" project statistics, which I've scraped from their site. I'll share a full post later on but in brief:
- 50% projects are unsuccessful
- Kickstarter is a long tail business – drop off in $ raised from 1st to 10th is huge.
- Majority of projects are about $3000-$4000
- Average pledge is $80ish but median pledge is closer to $30
- Claire Delauney (Botiful) – Botiful campaign (video & updates)
- Elad Inbar (Robot App Store) – Botiful/RAS blog dialogues
- Saurabh Palan (iRoboticist) – most number of #botiful shares (twitter, facebook and face to face)
- Jeremy Conrad (Lemnos Labs) – promoting and supporting robot startups & events generally
SF Bay Area Robotics meetup – August 21 7pm – 8.30pm at Lemnos Labs – is a kickstarter edition. Claire Delauney will share her experience with Botiful, as she reaches the final 12 hours of her Kickstarter and is currently still only
75% 80% funded. There will be a speakers with kickstarter a range of experiences, positive and negative and we discuss what it takes for a successful hardware startup campaign and when Kickstarter or other crowdfunding platforms are a strategic good fit for your project.
One thing to consider before crowdfunding your robot startup, is that around half of all projects don't get funded. Also, some crowdfunding platforms specialize in creative projects or projects with a lower average target than a hardware startup. Those 6 figure success stories are unusual if you look closely at the data. I'm currently drafting up a deeper look at crowdfunding data vis robots (or product based projects). Crowdfunding can be an amazing tool for launching your robot startup but too many good robots are missing their target due to lack of marketing. Not only is hardware more expensive to launch than an album or even a short film, but we often also lack the fan base.
But at Robot Launchpad, a problem is just an opportunity we haven't seized yet. We're going to launch the Launchies! Let's see who the social network sharp shooters are! The Launchies are awards for robot startup marketing. First topic – Botiful (or #botiful) - Claire Delauney's 'Botiful' kickstarter campaign closes on Wednesday August 22nd and is
75% 80% funded. We should all be backers because Botiful is beautiful, but we want everyone to test their market channels.
- Best/funniest share of video (check out Elad's entry already at Robot App Store!)
- Best/funniest share of picture
- Best/funniest share of text (tweet or blog)
- Most number of times #botiful is shared
- and overall Biggest Social Badass award
plus most creative use of ANY/ALL social networks – not just internet ones!
Don't make us search for you – send us a link! Awards winners will be announced on Tuesday 21st August at the SF Bay Area Robotics Meetup. There will be trophies and prizes! There will be glory!

|99 1.6 Engine Warning Light & Car Judders - festa
Hi There,
Wonder if anyone can give me their thoughts on a problem I'm getting with my 306 before I take it to Peugot and pay out a lot of coinage :(
My car is currently un-drivable.
2 years ago the engine warning light would occasionally flicker on, but would soon go off again and not cause me any bother. Someone told me it was likely down to a faulty sensor and nothing to worry about, as it was a common problem on the Peugeots.
It has driven fine since, then a couple of months ago it starting juddering as if about to stall, or in too high a gear. I pulled in thinking it might correct itself but it didn't. After calling for some help we noticed that it was also juddering while idle (out of gear, hand brake on) and under the bonnet the engine was physically rocking back and forward. Managed to drag it back home 20miles and stopped driving it until a friend could take a look. They did the following day, only for the problem to have disapeered. They disconnected the battery and reconnected which removed the warning light, and it drove fine again.
Then the weekend it has reappeared again in full force. Car barely moving, extreme loss of power and engine warning light flickering. I've stopped driving it so not to cause further damage, or get stranded.
At first we thought muck in the fuel line, but now that seems unlikely. Could it be an issue with the injectors? Or sensor related as others have suggested? I'm no mechanic, but we all know what main dealers are like, so i'd like to get some idea first before having them run up a huge bill.
If sensor related, are these cheap enough and easy enough to replace ourselves first as a hit or miss effort?
Some extra info...
It does not appear to be cold weather related.
It happens in any gear or when car is idle.
It happens regardless of fuel amount in tank.
Thanks in advance.

The Future Of Dying
by Brent Green on Oct 19, 8:35 AM
Over half of those who die in another 20 years will choose cremation. This will have considerable impact on the funeral and cemetery industries. Some Boomers will have their carbon ashes compressed into synthetic diamonds. Others will choose "green" cemeteries.

There Are Differences: Boomer Men Vs. Women
by Brent Green on Aug 31, 10:03 AM
A large percentage of Boomer men aspire to long lives; yet, many do not have faith that bonus years will be so golden. A gap between ambition and outlook is an opportunity for marketers promoting late-life reinvention, such as community colleges offering curricula for men to learn meaningful new vocations.

THURSDAY, Dec. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Low socioeconomic status (SES) amplifies the association between psychological distress and all-cause mortality, according to a study published online Dec. 3 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
To examine whether SES moderates the impact of psychological distress on all-cause mortality, Antonio Ivan Lazzarino, M.D., from University College London, and colleagues analyzed data from 66,518 participants in the Health Survey for England. All were 35 years or older and free of cancer and cardiovascular disease at baseline. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire was used to measure psychological distress.
During a mean follow-up of 8.2 years, the researchers found that the crude incidence rate of death was 14.49 per 1,000 person-years. Psychological distress and low SES category were associated with increased mortality rates after adjustment for age and sex. The correlation between psychological distress and mortality varied with SES and was strongest in the lowest SES categories.
"We have shown that the association between psychological distress and all-cause mortality differs according to SES," the authors write. "A low SES level operates as an amplifier of the detrimental effect of psychological distress on mortality."

National Comedy Theatre Hosts New Year's Eve Comedy Spectacular, 12/31
The National Comedy Theatre will present its annual New Year's Eve Spectacular on Monday, December 31st, beginning at 9:00 p.m.
In addition to the regular performance, there will be catered food, and an after-show party with the cast, culminating in a countdown to the New Year.
Similar in style to Drew Carey's "Whose Line is it Anyway?" the National Comedy Theatre (NCT) is a high-octane improvisational comedy show based completely on audience suggestions.
Because the comedy is improvised, fans never see the same match twice. Audience members are encouraged to yell out suggestions throughout the match, making for a unique show every performance. And because the show is CLEAN, it is appropriate for all audiences.
Now in its 14th season in San Diego, the show has had almost 5000 performances nationwide, including overseas tours for our troops stationed in Iraq, Turkey, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Djibouti and Saudi Arabia.
Tickets for the New Year's show are $79. Tickets are available online at www.nationalcomedy.com.
National Comedy Theatre is located at 3717 India St. in San Diego. Call 619.295.4999 for more information. Regular performance schedule: Thursdays @ 7:30 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays @ 7:30 & 9:45 p.m. Sundays @ 7:30.

Welcome to the Free Press blog! We post several times a week on everything from Internet access to free speech to media mergers, so check back often to see what we're up to.
The FCC's Consumer Task Force just released "Tips for Getting the Speed You Need," a broadband fact sheet for consumers. Unfortunately, the FCC seems to have missed some important details, so we're stepping up to fill in the gaps. Here are a few tips from us on broadband speeds for both consumers and the FCC:
The FCC's Consumer Task Force just released "Tips for Getting the Speed You Need," a broadband fact sheet for consumers. Unfortunately, the FCC seems to have missed some important details, so we're stepping up to fill in the gaps.
Over the weekend the journalism tweetosphere and blogs were abuzz with rumors of a government plot to freeze journalism in time by propping up a range of failing business models at the expense of new innovation in news. The document that set off this flurry of digital doomsday warnings was a "Discussion Draft" of possible policy changes released by the Federal Trade Commission team working on their future of journalism initiative and the announcement of a June 15th roundtable discussion where the draft will be debated.
For the past year the FTC has been examining how laws related to copyright, antitrust, advertising, and tax status could be changed to ensure that our communities have access to the news and information they need. Along the way it has sought public input and has heard from thousands of people (Free Press members submitted over 2,000 comments last fall). Now it is preparing its report and seeking feedback on its draft.
Over the last few weeks, dozens of House members from both sides of the aisle have signed on to a lobbyist-driven letter advocating to give control of the Internet to Comcast and AT&T by preventing the FCC from protecting the Internet, broadband expansion efforts, and net neut
A CTIA spokesman said, in a recent discussion, the Federal Communications Commission's messaging around so-called "bill shock," or unexpectedly high wireless bills, was not "fair" to the wireless industry. This is simply not the case.

Congress just sold you out to Comcast, Verizon and AT&T.
Big phone and cable companies are so determined to dismantle consumer protections on the open Internet that they've spent millions to flip Congress against you. Earlier this week, many in Congress delivered.
It appears that many of the nation's leading Internet service providers aren't actually worried about the Federal Communications Commission's "Third Way" approach to broadband oversight and its impact on broadband build-out and investment – despite what they're telling lawmakers in Washington.
If the editorial writers at the Washington Post had their way, the United States would forever be stuck with slow, expensive broadband that leaves entire parts of the country unconnected.
Phone and cable lobbyists are making the rounds on Capitol Hill, urging elected officials to sign on to letters disparaging the Federal Communications Commission's plans to protect the Internet and bridge the digital divide.

User experience and design articles
January 4, 2012
In the absence of any insightful Pixel Thread posts for a while, here are some articles and sites I've found interesting or useful over the past year…
Design is becoming a competitive advantage for startups
We've worked on two start-up projects this year and on both of these projects it's fair to say that: "Design is no longer considered tactical; instead, it is recognised as a strategic component of the startup process…"
The Anatomy of an Experience Map
I love using experience maps to help understand and design different components of a project. Adaptive path do this very well, they say: "Experience maps have become more prominent over the past few years, largely because companies are realizing the interconnectedness of the cross-channel experience. It's becoming increasingly useful to gain insight in order to orchestrate service touchpoints over time and space."
Interaction models for faceted search
2011 was the year when faceted results became a standard for e-commerce. Faceted search simply means we enable users to refine the results displayed on a page by selecting and de-selecting different facets. Asos do this very well.
12 Museum Apps from around the World
Last year we ran a piece of research for San Jose Museum of Technology to help them design an application where museum exhibit designers can collaborate… For 2012, how-about some open-source museum apps which can be populated with content by exhibition curators?
Usability testing with children
We've run various usability tests with children for Aardman and BBC, this article summarises some of the challenges.
Mobile and responsive design
2011 was the year when mobile design seems to have finally taken hold with organisations understanding and investing in mobile… For any projects with a web element in 2012, we're going to work with responsive designs where the layout and possibly some of the content changes depending on the device you view a site on.
Multi-device web design
Designing for multiple devices not limited to iPhone and iPad…
Showcase of responsive layouts
Re-size your browser to preview how these designs work in different devices.
Ecommerce mobile strategy
There are so many options that it's important to step back, look the business and marketing strategy, and to determine how mobile fits in at the strategic level.
Mobile app design trends
Mobile design is moving at such a pace it can be hard to keep up…
Improve iPad usability in one simple step
If you can combine this stuff with a responsive layout you're winning the battle!
BAFTA win for Aardman project
June 13, 2011
Huge congratulations to Dan Efergan and the team at Aardman for the recent BAFTA award for Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention (WOI).
For the past couple of years there's been lots of buzz around 360 / multi-platform programming, with programme makers and digital producers thinking about how to create productions that can exist on a variety of platforms and make best use of those platforms.
WOI took that bull by the horns by creating a digital experience that was integral the the production. The site hosts a huge amount of extra content designed to encourage people to get hands-on inventing, plus an addictive physics-based flash game.
Pixel Thread worked closely with the team at Aardman on the project – designing user journeys in relation to the multiplatform experience, prototyping site architecture using the BBC's global experience language GVL3 and running usability tests on the game – so it's great to see the project being recognised by the industry!
Here's Aardman's press release and here's the finished World of Invention website.
Bad online experiences cost money
September 27, 2010
Retailers may have lost as much as $44 billion last year due to bad online customer experiences, according to a study by by Harris Interactive and Tealeaf.
$44 billion?!? The numbers might be questionable, but no doubt the figure would be hugely reduced if user research and usability testing were integrated into design projects as standard. After all, simply testing a site with five users will find 80% of usability issues.
Pixel Thread Awards
September 22, 2010
Some recent accolades for Pixel Thread's work…
1. This site has been awarded site of the day by the hugely respected and followed CSS Awards – "the most prestigious websites in the world selected by an international jury of the top designers, agencies, and bloggers". Though Pixel Thread's already been featured in gallery sites across the web, this award means a lot because it's voted for by a large jury of established industry figures. Thanks guys!
Credit for the award is equally due to Ben Newman, who created the robot illustration and Robeam who crafted the elegant code.
2. Other respected design sites have also featured this site including:
Web Design Ledger – Inspiring agency websites, The Best Designs, CSS Line, CSS Drive, Make Better Websites, Design Fridge, Specky Boy Design Magazine. If you're one of the editors who featured Pixel Thread – thank you!
3. A large project by Enable earlier this year was a finalist in 'Best Customer Experience' category at the Billing & OSS World Excellence Awards in Washington. Pixel Thread supplied the UX research and interaction design. It's not quite an Oscar, but it's great when good work is recognised. Congratulations to the team at Enable.

Social Media Revolution
May 8, 2010
Social media is pervasive and touching on more and more elements of our lives – education, work and play.
Last night I listened to an old friend's record collection. I haven't seen him for over 15 years, but we're connected on Facebook and we both use Spotify. Spotify has just added the facility to connect with your Facebook connections and share music. My friend publishes his 'collection' and anyone connected can peruse the list.
Recently I've been interviewing teachers about the way their students (11-16) use technology. Almost all the students have mobile phones and the vast majority use Facebook in some format on those phones. In fact 50% of mobile internet traffic in the UK is on Facebook.
In this video, Erik Qualman – author of Socialnomics – asks: Is social media a fad or the biggest shift since the industrial revolution?

iPhone Design Concepts

Great example of lo-fi paper prototyping – aka drawing – from Adaptive Path:
Smart.fm iPhone App from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.
Get the prototype right, the rest will follow
February 9, 2010
Dave Cronin at Cooper writes about the benefits of prototyping:
1. Prototyping improves your designs. Apple are renown for innovative design. They made 100 prototypes of the MacBook prior to production.
2. Prototyping facilitates communication. Project teams have something to focus on and discuss rather than a 200 page document. Designers can explain ideas by doing rather than talking.
3. Prototypes can be tested with users and refined before the project goes into production – saving time and money.
Get the prototype right and the rest will follow…
Thinking Small
January 11, 2010
A lot of the time, we – UX practitioners – talk about thinking big: how does your project fit in with the bigger picture, how big could this project be, what if – etc.
Well this is just a little post to stand up for thinking small! Attention to detail is a crucial part of defining an experience. Get the visuals pixel perfect, craft concise and useful micro-copy, structure your crumb trails perfectly and ensure javascript interactions are optimised and efficient and so on etc.
And the inspiration for writing this post? Mission critical stuff: I added a new favicon to this site : )
Design the Box
September 4, 2009
Design the box is an exercise that can be useful as a way of uncovering ideas that stakeholders might have about a redesign, without explicitly asking them to draw the new site.
The idea is that everyone takes a bit of time to think about how the product of service you are about to design digitally would look if it were to be a physical product on the shelves of a supermarket.
To make this work, it's best to take along pre-prepared blank boxes to the session – just turn some cereal packets inside out – a great excuse to buy copious amounts of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes!
If some of the participants find this exercise a bit fluffy, don't sweat it. It's just a quick way of seeing how they're thinking about the product at that moment in time. It will generate conversation and drawing out issues that need to be resolved.

Crafting the perfect web form
February 9, 2009
I've been spending lots of time recently designing web forms for a number different sites. All the sites have a huge number of potential users – one of them already has over a million members. So it's critical that these forms are designed as efficiently as possible, both from a business perspective and from a user's perspective.
Initially I was agonising over positioning of labels, positioning of input fields, positioning of buttons, error handling and much more… Until I came across Luke Wroblewski's excellent book: Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks. For anyone working with web forms, there's a wealth of useful advice, based on extensive user research.
Some of the useful tips include:
1. use labels above fields for fastest completion rates
2. only use a button on the form for the primary action
3. make all other actions links, to avoid user errors
4. align the primary action button with the left edge of the input fields above – eye tracking research has shown users follow the line of the left edge of input fields down the page
Personally I'd like to have seen some research into the predict address functionality that's used across the UK i.e. user enters a post code and house number and the form completes the address. I'm not convinced it's best practice, but it's used everywhere here, partly to ensure valid addresses are captured.
Web forms might be an uninspiring subject to read about, but if designing them is part of your craft and you want to be a master craftsman or woman, you need to understand and justify exactly why you are designing them in a particular way. This book will enable you to do just that.
Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks is published by the excellent Rosenfeld Media and is available as a physical book or as a PDF download.
P.S. Here's a really good example of how not to design a web form (thanks Stuart).
Design Pattern Resources
November 26, 2008
Patterns are optimal solutions to common problems. As common problems are tossed around a community and are resolved, common solutions often spontaneously emerge. Eventually, the best of these rise above the din and self-identify and become refined until they reach the status of a Design Pattern.
~ IAwiki.net
Given the now ubiquitous use of javascript libraries such as jquery, mootools and YUI for rich interactions across the web, design patterns are more important than ever. With numerous options of implementing functionality such as drag and drop, select a date or expanding and contracting a div, using documented design patterns make sure you don't re-invent the wheel.
Useful design pattern references include:
- Yahoo Design Pattern Library
- Design Patterns on Flickr
- UI Pattern Library
- Pattern Tap
- UI-patterns
- Konigi
- Search design patterns
- Welie – patterns in interaction design
And for prototype tool of the moment – Axure (thanks for the recommendation Nic) – there's a library of design and interaction patterns here and another one on Google Code here.
World Usability Day
November 10, 2008
As part of World Usability Day on Thurs 13
November 6, 2008
Recently I've been thinking about ways of engaging people in workshops. Delegates might have volunteered to attend, but from my experience, it's more likely they've been coerced into it.
Tim Brown uses some fun exercises to illustrate the fact that play's important: draw the person next to you in 30 seconds, fill in these circles, fire the foam missiles at me…
I thought this at school and I still think it now: we need more playtime!

An article I've written on designing websites to work
April 1, 2008
I've been thinking for a while that it would be great to set up a design / interactive conference in Bristol. It's a perfect location, with a small centre, lively web community, lots of great venues around the docks.
But to do it well needs some heavyweights behind it… Bristol Media people have been out to SXSW this year and have been talking about some possibilities on their tumblr.
Maybe with the likes of Mike Bennett of Bristol Media, Benjamin Hostler of Beef, Hazel Grian of Licorice Media, Andy Parkhouse of Team Rubber and Clare Reddington of iShed, it could happen. It would be great to tempt people away from London for a few days. And great for Bristol's profile as digital city.
March 22, 2008
The importance of images in product description pages has been well documented.
A high quality pic can convert someone browsing a site into a customer. As broadband's become the norm in the western world, online shops have been getting more adventurous with their use of images.
Combined some well written code, product pages are now giving the user the facility to closely inspect an item before buying. Great from the customer and the commerce perspective.
Magneto product page has a nice image zoomer and
The bigger online stores are lagging a bit behind in this respect. The ebay interface is still pretty clunky, Amazon's product page is hugely cluttered.

Book Reviews - Winter 1993SELF AND LIBERATION: The Jung/Buddhism Dialogue Edited by Daniel Meckel and Robert L. MoorePaulist Press: New York, 1992. 338 pp., $19.95 (paper). Michele Martin AFTER DECADES of exchange, many Buddhist practitioners and an increasing number of psychologists agree that the two traditions can benefit one another. The ongoing question remains: How? Answers to this depend on a clear knowledge of each other's position. Within the lungian world, therapists such as lames Hillman and Clarissa Pinkola Estes are creatively questioning and reshaping their inheritance, which includes, however, Jung's often idiosyncratic writings about the East. This new volume brings together material that allows for a more precise understanding and evaluation of Jung's relation to what he understood Buddhism to be. More »

Celebrities from Broadway to Hollywood are nearly unanimously in agreement with Steven Spielberg's belief that Robin Williams was a "comic genius."
There is widespread admiration and shock at Williams' apparent suicide at age 63.
Spielberg says Williams was "a lightning storm of comic genius" sustained by the thunder of laughter.
Funny man Steve Martin praised the Oscar-winner's "great talent" but also said he was a "genuine soul." Chevy Chase, who acknowledged that he too suffers from depression, called Williams "a wonderful/man boy."
Former talk show host and comedian Jay Leno says word of Williams' death made it "a very sad day."

Past Moving Day Events
Inaugural Event Benefits the National Parkinson Foundation
Right at Home, Inc., a leading international provider of in-home companion and personal care to senior citizens and others, is a Hope Sponsor of the National Parkinson Foundation's Moving Day, an event dedicated to raise funds and awareness for those who live with Parkinson's disease.
With a festival atmosphere, Moving Day is designed to emphasize the significance of movement for those afflicted with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological disorder often associated with tremors, slowness of movement or uncontrolled movement. The event will feature shorter, family friendly walk routes, food and music. In addition, each walk will feature a Movement Pavilion, which will include activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, dance and Pilates that are proven to help manage the symptoms of Parkinson's.
"We are excited and honored to partner with the National Parkinson Foundation on this event," said Allen Hager, Chairman and CEO of Right at Home, Inc. "Together, we hope to improve the quality of life for those who suffer from this debilitating disease."
Approximately 1 million people in the U.S. are affected by Parkinson's, and the number is expected to increase considerably in the next 20 years due to the aging of the country's population. The National Parkinson Foundation is a leading organization focused on improving the quality of care for people with Parkinson's through research, education and outreach.
