IK Kim high-fives Special Olympics New Jersey athlete, Sam Pignatelli, after sinking a putt.
Galloway, NJ - 2 June 2012 – On Saturday at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, Special Olympics announced the appointment of three-time LPGA winner, I.K. Kim, as a Special Olympics Ambassador for Golf. Kim's role as a Special Olympics Ambassador will be to help grow the game of golf within the Special Olympics movement and promote acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities on and off the golf course.
"As we continue to look for opportunities for our athletes to achieve their personal best, we are thrilled to have I.K. Kim join the Special Olympics family. Her dedication, drive and generous spirit are a lesson to young people around the world and we are thrilled to have her represent our movement" said Timothy Shriver, Chairman and CEO Special Olympics. "I.K. Kim's involvement in Special Olympics comes at an exciting time because the next World Games will be held in her home country of South Korea in 2013."
Kim was announced as a Special Olympics Ambassador during a press conference at the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club outside Atlantic City. As part of the press conference, Kim presented Special Olympics with a donation of more than $100,000, which was half of her winnings from the 2010 Lorena Ochoa Invitational. Kim vowed after the win to donate her entire first-place check of $225,000 to charity, with half going to the Lorena Ochoa Foundation and the other half to Special Olympics. The three-time LPGA winner carefully selected Special Olympics as the second recipient of her donation because she wanted to support a cause that is truly making an impact and she has seen the powerful work of Special Olympics.
"I have been talking to Special Olympics for the past year and this seemed to be a great fit for me," Kim said. "I was looking for an organization that I truly believed in and could continue to work with on a long-term basis. I didn't want to just give the money away. I am really looking forward to joining the Special Olympics family as an Ambassador."
The location of Saturday's announcement, the Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, was fitting since it will be the site of the 2013 Special Olympics North America Golf Invitational Tournament, where Special Olympics athletes will play on the same course as Kim.
Following the announcement and check presentation, Kim hosted a Junior Golf Show for more than 400 youth and conducted a golf clinic for Special Olympics athletes focusing on the short game. In her role as a Sports Ambassador and working side-by-side with Special Olympics athletes, Kim will continue to demonstrate her commitment to inclusion and to help overcome prejudices about intellectual disability.

Welcome to our online vintage poster and art gallery. Please browse our selections using the simple navigation bar on the left.
Enjoy Art offers one of the largest vintage poster and art selections on the web. If you don't see the posters or prints that you are looking for, feel free to contact us and we'll try to find them for you.
Enjoyart features giclee (pronounced zhee-klay) prints on canvas or paper. The French word giclée means a spray of liquid (or ink). Giclee printmaking is an art in itself and boasts superior color accuracy and detail when compared to other art reproductions. Fine art quality images are produced from high resolution digital scans and printed using professional ink jet printers and archival quality inks. Various substrates are used and giclees can be printed on acid free fine art paper, cotton rag paper, photographic paper and canvas. Each giclee print is produced one at a time and affords great attention to detail. Because giclee print making is not a mass production, many artists today prefer this technique for reproducing their paintings and photography as both open and limited edition prints.
Giclee prints are often offered as "on-demand" meaning the image is made to order. The prints can be easily resized and printed to custom specs, another advantage over the lithograph and silkscreen printing methods. Fine art giclee prints are commonly found in museums and galleries around the world and are a wonderful way of reproducing and displaying otherwise irreplaceable and priceless works of art. Enjoyart now offers your own images or photos printed as giclees on canvas. We also specialize in giant oversized art posters and oversized canvas wall art.
Most of the images on Enjoyart.com are available as paper or canvas giclee prints. The canvas can be ordered as an "on canvas" print or "stretched canvas". The canvas print is a giclee print where the image is printed directly onto the canvas. It is not framed or stretched as is and is shipped rolled up inside of a tube. Once the canvas print has been received by the customer, it can be framed in a traditional manner or it can simply be stretched and hung with no additional frame. A canvas can be framed or stretched at almost any custom frame shop.
When a canvas is stretched, it is wrapped around a wooden frame and secured. It can be museum wrapped or gallery wrapped. The museum wrap means thats the entire image is seen from the front of the stretched canvas and the sides are either blank canvas or a solid color, most often black. A gallery wrap is where the image is wrapped around the sides of the canvas so that it appears to be "painted on" the frame. With a gallery wrap, there is no blank canvas or solid color sides. A stretched canvas is a finished product and can be hung on the wall, right out of the box. If desired, the stretched canvas can be framed, as well.
Many of our images are available printed directly onto wood for a unique, ready to hang wall art. These wood art signs are made to look vintage or rustic and as if the images were actually hand painted onto the wood. Since they require no framing, they are a finished product that instantly adds to the decor of your home or office. The signs are made to order so that they can be printed with custom text for the customer, if desired.
For example, say a customer really likes the Customizable Coastal Art Sign with a little girl on the beach. The sign says "Monterey" across the bottom. The image is just what the customer is looking for but Monterey is not meaningful to them. They can change it to say "Pismo Beach" or "Cape May" or just about anything else they like. Some of the signs are especially perfect for gift giving and dedications and personalized wall art for kids is especially popular.
The "Born To Ski Sign", for example, features a baby in a cradle with some skis. The preview image includes a child's name and birthdate. A customer can have the name and birthdate of their special little boy or girl printed on the sign for a lovely personalized gift.
Wooden signs with quotes are popular pieces that can be inspirational or funny. Another great use for customized signs is to have the name of a business or restaurant printed on it. One might choose a nautical themed image and advertise their sail boat charters.

Its not showing for me.
Its not showing for me.

if this is true, i love it. very modern but simple. nice sleek design
what are your thoughts?
Its actually not bad, I mean, if you're going to be the Dolphins...this design is much better the cartoonish look they got now. There is also a photo of rumored new helmet too...it was silver, not white, and had that chrome-effect Oregon uses. I can only hope Nike doesn't "Seahawk" the **** out of the Dolphins in 2013.
That was posted in the other logo thread 2 days ago...
Sponsored Links |
Not crazy about it, there is potential to be a much better logo.
Umm I already posted this a few days ago
The guys who leaked this have back-tracked since then saying it may be something completely different
hope its not this. looks like a whale. someone posted a link with a bunch of logos and designs on it. there were quite a few in there that i liked and then some i didnt like at all. i just hope they dont butcher it. im reluctant to get a jersey now until we see what the new ones are like.
I'm looking forward to the change whatever it may be (hopefully good). This team has a potentially bright future ahead of it and a fresh look should be a good start to a new era. I'm sure not all of us will love the changes, but I doubt they would make anything horrible (again, hopefully).
Adopt-a-Dolphin: Brent Grimes - #21, CB
Question... Did you guys originally like the change from the old logo to the current logo when it happened??
^^at first it was weird but i dont remember if i was happy or mad about it. but i like our logo how it is. so if we change and its worse im gonna be pretty pissed

A Model of SuperRens Effect to Describe Future Generation Optical Data Storage
Gidon, S., Hyot, B., Poupinet, L.CEA Grenoble Leti
In the quest for a higher data storage capacity, different solutions for the future generations of optical discs (after the Blu-ray format, BD) are under investigations.
An increase of the NA beyond 0.85 (NA of the BD format) requires the use of near field optics with all the difficulties inherent to those techniques (fine control of the distance between the optical head and the media). Today a novel emergent technique, allows writing and/or reading information bits which are smaller than the resolution limit of the optical head without increasing the complexity of the detection system. This new solution implies the use of a "superresolving" structure made of a specific thin film stack.
The complexity of the involved mechanisms and the coupled interaction of many physical phenomena (electromagnetic, thermal, electronic…) have, up to now, often restricted the pertinence of the simulation results presented in the articles. Most of the simulation programs use FDTD methods for the calculation of the electromagnetic field in the multilayer stack [9]. Occasionally, some papers step forward to estimate the temperature distribution [2]. But they don't take into account the coupled effects and give access to only partial results.
In the case of our study, we propose a model based on the Drude formalism whose physical principle is the photogeneration of free carriers. We take into account the non-linear aspect of the problem using the COMSOL Multiphysics software by solving the two coupled equations on optic (calculation of the electromagnetic field) and electronic contribution (generation and transport of the free carriers). Moreover, another specificity of our simulation is the calculation of a representative value of the readout signal in a far field plane.

The Nats haven't played on Sunday night since the 2008 opener at Nationals Park.
It looks like the programming folks at ESPN are taking notice of the Nationals at long last. The network announced this morning the Nats will make at least two appearances on Sunday Night Baseball this season, their first in four years.
ESPN will nationally televise the May 6 home game against the Phillies, as well as the May 27 game at the Braves. First pitch for both games will be after 8 p.m. EDT, so prepare for some late nights at the ballpark.
The Nationals could make even more appearances on Sunday Night Baseball later in the season. ESPN and MLB don't announce those schedule changes until three weeks in advance of each game.
These two already-scheduled Sunday night games are nearly as many as the Nationals have played over the past seven seasons. They'veRead more »

Mark.. I think you meant May 6 (instead of May 9) for the phillies… I miss both of these games, since they are not in my plan…
- Mark Zuckerman - Jan 18, 2012 at 5:26 PM
You are correct. Thanks for catching that.

Sorry to be your editor today… I think you mean May 27…But the April 26 night game at Atlanta will be followed by a 1:10 p.m. game in Miami the next day. Don't be surprised if the Nats show up a bit sluggish for that one…
- Anonymous - Jan 18, 2012 at 5:29 PM
I disagree with these being late night affairs. Barring a deluge, they will be quick games as our fresh young stud pitchers will make quick work of the opposing batters.
- Anonymous - Jan 18, 2012 at 5:36 PM
The Nats have shown up for games a little bit sluggish a LOT over the last several years. Let's hope that the tight travel shcedule is the only reason that happens in 2012.
- natsfan1a - Jan 18, 2012 at 5:40 PM
I won't mind if they're sluggish in the OPS sense.
- Joe Seamhead - Jan 18, 2012 at 5:48 PM
The home game against Philly isn't part of my 21 game plan either but I will definitely be there to make a stand to pluck the phillbillies from up north. I wish that we could organize an Occupy Half Street movement for that night. It would be great if some local businesses would take part in some way, say by offering a spiff if you bring in your ticket stub during the next week after the game. I really see this game as being very important for our fan base to make a statement.

Speaking of increased exposure, Strasburg was named the 47th most powerful person in Washington in GQ's Top 50. Pretty sure that's the first time a National has cracked that list.

5/26 game ends around 11. Post game stuff, get on plane by 1AM. Land 2AM. Transport to hotel, hit sack 4AM. Up at 8AM. Breakfast, dress, at park by 9AM.And that's the press corp.
- Steve M. - Jan 18, 2012 at 6:15 PM
I think the travel schedule was an issue just like day games after night games. I hope with some team depth that Davey can give Werth and Morse and Zim a few scheduled days off to keep them fresher. I think both Werth and Morse played through too many nagging muscle pulls last year. The 162 game schedule is a marathon. One bonus is Miami now has a roof on their new stadium so no more rain delays in the Nats 9 game schedule there.

Re: Bench comments from previous posts: I agree that I was hoping for better. There is still time, and there are some decent guys out there, but they need to get moving. Unless SteveM is right that they can get Upton from TB, I think that they have to upgrade CF beyond Bernie/Cameron. I am not in the 'bring up Harper soon' camp, but even if you are, that 4th and 5th OF is going to get a lot of ABs, and if we want to give ourselves a better chance, we need to upgrade. Here are my suggestions – (i) trade Bernie for Will Venable. Venable is the better player (LH, good against RHs, good defender) but he is also in arb and probably getting a salary between $2.5-3m this year, and SD has a lot of OFs and would probably be interested in shedding salary. We might have to add a prospect to make it work. (ii) sign Cody Ross. Both guys could form a platoon at the third OF spot, aren't break the bank expensive, and could easily slide to a back up role if and when Harper comes up.

$75 to $80 million?!What if it goes badly?!
- Wally - Jan 18, 2012 at 6:44 PM
Steve M. said… Wally, how good does this look to you …That would look phenomenal. It would be one of the top 3 lineups in the NL, in my view, not only in 2012, but for several years afterward. We would be a top contender for playoffs. Pitching falls off markedly after the top 3, but I could live with that.It requires a big financial commitment from ownership, so it is easy for me to say spend it, but that team would take this town by storm, I think, and at a minimum, pay its way.

- Wally - Jan 18, 2012 at 7:03 PM
Hey SteveM – your post got me daydreaming a little, and it made me realize how positive 2011 has been for the Nats. If they continue their path towards playoffs and more, I think that 2011 will be looked at as the watershed year.If you go back to the end of the 2010 season – Ryan Zim was the only player that seemed good and projected to stay that way. We had very few building blocks. Strasburg was electric but got hurt; JZimm came back but had mixed results; Flores was the catcher of the future but couldn't get on the field. Storen and Clip had flashes but were too untested to know what we had. Espy and Morse were question marks. Morse was surprisingly (to me) productive in a part time role, but no building block.Then Werth signs; Morse becomes a force; Espy and Ramos look like future stars; JZimm has an exceptional year; Stras returns from TJ. Gio trade. Harper outproduces his hype.It really amazes me how much has gone right in the last 15 months. The FO has done well and gotten lucky, but I'll take it. I think that when you look at successful teams and then trace backwards to see their path of success, you will often find a year where several players take enormous steps forward, including some surprises. Like we just had.

The big question for the 2012 Nats right now (well, but for the elephant in the room is the PF Flyer's signing status) is can Ian Desmond hit and field to his potential (and at the same time). dfh21

The big question for the 2012 Nats right now (well, but for the elephant in the room is the PF Flyer's signing status) is can Ian Desmond hit and field to his potential (and at the same time). dfh21***********I think very true. If he can, then the CF problem goes away for a year, maybe two (because it is as much a leadoff problem as a CF problem). Plus the offense gets a nice lift, the infield defense becomes very strong. Takes care of several potential issues.

- Tcostant - Jan 18, 2012 at 8:10 PM
Considering how close the Nats may be this year (especially if the extra wild card is added for 2012), it was a huge mistake not making a modest investment in Norichika Aoki.http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/17/brewers-close-to-deal-with-japanese-outfielder-norichika-aoki/This may be the text book opportunity lost, you read about in Economics 101.

I'm not upset we missed out on Aoki.So a couple days ago, the Brewers inked a left handed hitting, singles hitting outfielder named Nyjer Morgan to a $2.3M deal.Today they sign a left handed hitting, singles hitting outfielder named Norichika Aoki.I guess along with Corey Hart and Carlos Gomez they will see some playing time until Braun comes back. Then what? Braun in left, Hart in right and the other three in CF?

I'm only half kidding, after all Aoki has won gold gloves and batting title, for such a modest investment wasn't he worth plunging into CF this year and seeing if he may be the answer.

Tcostant, yeah, I'll give you that, in that it sure might have made sense for us to make that modest investment. 2 year contract plus posting fee, perhaps $8M?It seems to me it would make more sense for us than the Brewers.

It would be a pretty sneaky move by the Rangers to not sign Darvish after the bid seemed so high, and then pick up Fielder and Oswalt for less than everyone imagined.
- Gonat - Jan 18, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Mayberry and Nix will be the left field platoon according to JimBo's discussion with Ruben Amaro.This seems to be what many teams are doing is working in LH/RH platoons into the outfield where the sum of the parts is a stud in that position.Haven't seen that discussed here but Bryce Harper rarely starts against LH pitching. Have to think thats a possibility that BHarp plays in a platoon to start his MLB career.

Yu deal is as good as done. The O's will get my money in May to go see him pitch.http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/18/rangers-deal-with-yu-darvish-looks-imminent/First comment on the message board is "105.3 the Fan in Dallas is reporting Yu is in Arlington for the press conference to announce the deal."
- Tcostant - Jan 18, 2012 at 9:30 PM

OK, Prince most likely signs by Friday someplace. I can't see them waiting out much else in terms of the market. I am taking a stab and guessing the Mariners. They have the money, they have a huge need for the guy, they play in the right league for his body type, they've gone big in the past. Though, not sure Prince wants any part of that big park and of being on a club building. We'll see.dfh21
- Gonat - Jan 18, 2012 at 10:03 PM
Darvish according to MLB Network 6 yr/$60 so with the posting fee they got a good deal…maybe a great deal at an average of $18.6mm per season.Already reports that the Rangers are out on Prince.
- Gonat - Jan 18, 2012 at 10:08 PM
Anon, Rangers actually play 4 games in Baltimore this year on May 7 to 10 so 80% chance Darvish pitches in one of the games.Also on Intentional Talk and to paraphrase Chris Rose, "Prince Fielder was a smokescreen to help in the negotiatons with Texas. Prince is going to Washington"
- Big Oil - Jan 18, 2012 at 10:11 PM
Prince to M's leaves them with issues, though: they've invested Cliff Lee in Smoak, so for him not to have an opportunity to deliver on his promise would border on negligence for Jack Z.Similarly, Montero has his own issues with 1B. To be sure, they can play him at C and hope for the best. However, if that doesn't pan out, then he will DH. If not, now you've sunk Pineda AND Lee for your 1B and DH. Add Prince to that and at least one (and perhaps two) critical team building moves go for naught. I think the M's are out.

You'd have to think that if Prince Fielder listed out the places he would rather not play, Seattle would be on that list. But the again, a year ago, the Nats would also be on that list. Things can change quickly.I think Rizzo is smart enough to not be drawn into bidding against himself.
- Anonymous - Jan 18, 2012 at 10:47 PM
Sundrland, I am not sure who else might be out there other than Rizzo seriously bdding on Fielder right now. Dark horse might be the Bucs.dfh21
- Big Cat - Jan 18, 2012 at 11:15 PM
Well, even if Prince goes elsewhere, we still have Laroche coming back healthy. Checking his career stats, he has been a pretty solid 25-90 player. I look for him to rebound strong this year.
- Gonat - Jan 18, 2012 at 11:53 PM

January 18, 2012 5:02 PM Me –> I think it's a four game series, so that's an 80% chance of seeing him. I will go, I so enjoyed watching him pitch in the WBC in San Diego in 2009. He is worth the ticket / traffic nighmare cost.

On the easiest difficulty, you can probably finish it between 45 mins to 90 mins. Pretty piss poor release in that regard. I've been at the END of a level, and got killed. The game started me at the very beginning of the level. Jesus. Someone needs to hire some better devs for sure. If the multiplayer isn't good, I will be going to Gamestop tomorrow and getting a full refund for sure.

I played through rbs 6 times bcause the gameplay is lots of fun.
I probably wont get this for the same reason I didnt buy ridge racer, way to short.
Im old school and like games for the single player element vs. the multiplayer. So this isnt for me.
Back to nfs I go. Thanks for the heads up.

I can imagine the meta on this is going to be bad lol.
11-14-2012 #81
I remember a tweet from them saying that their main focus for the title was multiplayer. Rightly so, I'd say - considering most people buy CoD for the mp. I guess with the time they had they could only really focus on one or the other, which is a shame.
Activision certainly should not be charging the $50/£40 that they are though. But it's hardly surprising

If this game had at least 12 players online and none of those tiny maps, like make nukehouse into nuketown again.. I would say this game is better then all CoD's MP since after MW1. Just this game feels more like MW1 then any CoD after due to map designs, perks ain't as killer etc..
The game is a lot better then what I was expecting, but still its missing that extra effect to make it like console CoD's MP and missing zombies for blackops.. Hopefully we'll get a better CoD down the line furtherBow down before Drippy - Lord High Lord of the Fairies

Okay I've seen some reviews from small name websites but aside from Gameinfomers 3/10 there is almost zero exposure... probably for good reason :/

So far, meta, with three reviews...
Terrible game for the money. I'll be going to gamestop and showing my ass, figuratively, to get a refund.

It sucks that the game is bad, I think Nihilistic did a DECENT but not spectacular job on Resistance... but like why would these guys who haven't made a fantastic game before be given TWO massive franchises for their FIRST outing on the Vita, where there is not that many games and quality ones are ESSENTIAL. This just tarnishes the Vita's reputation, and its not a hardware fault, its the games, and quite frankly it shouldn't be the case.
I'm glad reviewers aren't afraid of giving low scores though, its not everyday GI give a 3. That being said 5 should technically be average but it seems 7 is these days... but thats another rant for another day :P

I wish I had waited an entire day to get this. I would have seen the crap this really is. At first, it doesn't look bad, or play bad. Within the first six minutes, you're thinking "WTF????". Online play is like putting two teams in a room, and killing each other.
I know gamestop doesn't take 'used' games for refunds, but I guarantee I'll be cancelling the six pre-orders I have with them if they don't dish my money back out to me.
11-15-2012 #91
50 dollars for a 42 minute game.no wonder why no wonder why no reviews.my friend told me this game is awesome lol
11-15-2012 #92
It's getting mixed user reviews, critical reviews aren't looking so hot. Nihilisitic needs to be killed with fire.
11-15-2012 #93
Still on it here and enjoying it.
Been playing kill confirmed for acouple of hours with a full lobby and no problems. I understand what people are saying about the SP being short (not done anymore of it since going online) but IMO I'd give this a 6 as it does what I wanted it for, was at the train station and McD's yesterday and was able to chill out and have afew rounds on CoD which was excellent. If I'm sat at home I'll play PS3 (when it finds a game!!) or PC black ops 2.

With how much of a led weight this has gone down I'd be surprised if a price cut isn't on the cards.
It's preference really bud so if it's not for you then try and get your full refund I've wanted a online FPS for the vita since day 1 (probably why I thought R:BS was alright) and Declassified fills that void nicely on the go. Got a boring stay at a Holiday Inn next weekend but will taking full advantage of the free wifi

Brian M. Shuch MD
Assistant Professor of Urology and of Diagnostic Radiology; Assistant Professor of Radiology
Biographical Info
- Practice Location: York Street Campus
- Residency: University of California - Los Angeles
- Fellowship: Urologic Oncology, National Cancer Institute
- Clinical Interests: Urologic oncology, open and robotic surgery, systemic therapy for kidney cancer, percutaneous kidney tumor biopsy/cryoablation, limiting over-treatment of non-aggressive urologic cancers with active surveillance strategies, integration of genetic testing to cancer care
Dr. Shuch is a graduate of the University of Michigan and received his MD from New York University before completing his urology residency and surgery internship at the University of California - Los Angeles where he was an integral part of the UCLA Kidney Cancer Program. After residency, he completed a three-year urologic oncology fellowship at the National Cancer Institute focused on clinical trials, drug development, and the comprehensive management of patients with kidney cancer. He is a member of two oncology clinical trials groups, one through the Society of Urologic Oncology and the other through SWOG.
Dr. Shuch's clinical interest is in the multidisciplinary management of sporadic and hereditary forms of kidney cancer. He has developed a clinical program at Yale to evaluate patients with possible genetic causes of kidney cancer (including young patients with kidney cancer, those with bilateral/multifocal tumor, or a strong family history of kidney cancer). In addition, he will be working with Drs. Harriet Kluger and Mario Sznol on the development of a multidisciplinary kidney cancer program and the expansion of the Yale kidney cancer clinical trial portfolio. These trials range from all stages of disease including those with localized, small tumors to patients with advanced metastatic disease. Additionally he has a small research laboratory focused on kidney cancer and runs the urologic oncology cancer research bank, where all tissue gets stored for future research within the Yale Cancer Center.

User Experience for Developers
UX shouldn't be the purview solely of UX specialists; a well-rounded developer can become a UX professional, too. The "T-shaped" professional, who has both the breadth of skills (the horizontal stroke in the "T") and the depth of a particular discipline (the vertical stroke), is a much more valuable team member than one who has but one skill and focus.
But how can a developer start learning about UX without formal education in UX concepts? I am an engineer by training but have transitioned into UX and product design, so I hope other developers can benefit from what I have learned.
"Read, read, read." - William Faulkner
There are so many great UX books out there nowadays. Here are a few that I would recommend for the developer who's serious about UX:
- Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug is a must. It's such a quick read that I finished it on a four-hour plane ride. I recommend having a copy of this book handy to share with people who don't understand or see the importance of good design.
- Designing the Obvious by Robert Hoekman, Jr.
- Sketching User Experiences by Bill Buxton.
A good place to start is with sites like UX Magazine—but if you're reading this, you've already figured that out. As well, Jakob Nielsen's website, useit.com has results of some very helpful research and studies.
"Good artists copy, great artists steal." - Pablo Picasso
It's impossible to talk about great UX without someone bringing up Apple, but even Apple doesn't come up with their brilliant ideas in an ivory tower. If anything, they have a history of freely borrowing great ideas, wherever they may come from. Both the mouse and the WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menu, Pointing) device came from the Xerox Star workstation at Xerox PARC. Good ideas and examples come from everywhere, and it's up to us to know where to look.
I keep my eye on a few types of websites:
- Pattern libraries like Pattern Tap, and the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library are great if resources on specific design patterns.
- For inspiration and ideas, I turn to Smashing Magazine, which has great content geared towards web developers and designers.
- Dribbble, which is a community for designers to showcase snapshots of their work.
- Forrst, a community for developers and designers.
"Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results" - General George Patton
Don't settle for the specs. If you are just handed a list of features to implement, don't take them at face value. Get to the why. What problem are they trying to solve? It may be that the features and requirements listed aren't the best way to go about solving the problem. How do these features help accomplish the user's goals easier or faster?
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas A. Edison
You may think that once you've found a good design pattern, that task is done. However, I find that if I come up with a few different ways to solve a problem, I often find a better solution or I find justification of why the first approach was better. It's also important to prototype. It's hard to imagine if an experience is going to be great or compelling without having actually using it. Don't be afraid to develop different approaches and throw away the ones that don't work.
"Get outside the building" - Steve Blank
When was the last time you actually interacted with a customer face-to-face or on the phone? Sometimes at large organizations there are positions that deal exclusively with that. They are supposed to interact with the customers and "translate" what they want into functional specifications or user requirements. But sometimes you just need to cut the middleman and talk directly to the source. That way, you feel their pain and nothing gets lost in the translation. If you never talk to the customer or the user, then everything is just an assumption or a guess. You are essentially developing and designing in the dark.
"Usability testing is the killing field of cherished notions." - David Orr
Once I have a working iteration, it is time to test it in the wild. I often have someone who's not tech savvy try out things. I frequently find that what I thought was crystal clear is in fact not at all. Watching someone trying to use your application is a quick and easy way to get feedback.
There are also applications and services for usability testing. Silverback is a downloadable app that records screens and the users' faces while they test out an application. Watching someone going through your site with a confused look is priceless when trying to convince management that the site has issues. Usertesting.com lets you buy usability testers on demand. You select your target demographic and how many testers you want, and provide a script. The site sends back a video of users going through your site, complete with users' commentaries as they go through the process. UsabilityHub provides some simple tools to do quick testing for first impressions, flow, and more.
I believe that great UX is important and if your career is creating software, then UX is a part of that. Familiarity with the discipline can make you more customer-focused and improve your product. Deliberate thought and focus on UX can lead to some great products and is not hard. It is a matter of educating oneself, getting inspired, validating ideas, talking to users, and doing usability testing. There's no one thing you can do, but a whole host of things that add to the overall experience and ultimately produces a great user experience.
I'd like to end with a favorite quote that applies when thinking about designing interfaces.
"A well designed and humane interface does not need to be split into beginner and expert subsystems." - Jef Raskin

I want to be positive about this article but I'm not convinced (and haven't been convinced) that developers can do this without specific training. I think the authors hope was to build developer's confidence by identifying actionable items that should be completed (or considered) when developing usable products. And while the breadth-wise approach is fine, I would not recommend developers attempt any of these tasks alone. Developers know their own domain, but shouldn't delve into methods and techniques with which they're not familiar. For instance, we can all perform cursory first aid but should not (and actually aren't allowed) to perform surgery or other procedures. Leave specialties to specialists and manage them during development. That may more sense and will yield better results.
Hi Pek, Great article and equally great quotes! Thanks a million for all the linked resources. Everything here will become invaluable to me as I make my move from Software Test Engineer to UX Designer. Thank you very much.
really awesome article , developers must take the approach of know something about everything in the design field
Good article , kick start for develoeprs how to come into UX. As a developer, I always suggest that UX should be understandable though out the development precess.
Great Article! I'm a .NET Developer and think that everybody that is developing software should have some knowledge of Interface Design concepts.
Thanks a lot for this article. As a 13-year web developer currently working on a lateral move into UX, this gave me some great resources to help me through the transition.
Excellent article, and one which I'm going to share with the team I lead.
Two other books I might add to the reading list are 'The Design of Every Day Things' (http://amzn.to/EveryDayThings) -- which while originally penned in the 80's -- discusses the timeless psychology and impact design and learning have on user experience.
Also, and especially pertinent to programmers, is the 'The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less' (http://amzn.to/ChoiceParadox) -- which judging by some of the "everything but the kitchen sink" design I still see all too often -- would be a useful read.
These are all fantastic books. I also recommend About Face 3 by Alan Cooper. It's a little dry to get through, but the material is fantastic.
I've written about it briefly in a blog post
I wish there were a site that would do for developers what A List Apart has done for people who work with CSS.
An article would take a particular UX and layout, talk briefly about the choices that were made, and detail how go from wire frame to pixel perfect layout. It would need to be specified in a way that was flow and grid based so that the principles of the layout and interaction would apply to multiple platforms.
For example, take some part of Photos on the iPad, deconstruct one part of its layout and interactions, then specify the white space, sizes of elements as they relate to font size, etc., very much how someone would take a web site template all they way through to actual CSS. It could never be complete, but it should capture the essence of the design in the same way an article from A List Apart does.
this was a spectacular read. it is definitely a simple standard we all should abide by.
Your welcome Marco. It's very gratifying to know that others can benefit from what I've learned over the years. Glad to be of help.

I saw this last night and as a member of the cybercommunity (and we all are, here) it hit me pretty hard. Very good movie, makes you really think. Don't expect loads of action--this movie basically tracks an online relationship through time, as both parties eventually come face to face. If you haven't heard about it, it is one of those movies that works even better the less you know up front. And, in some ways, perhaps a cautionary tale for our times.
For those who have seen the movie:

I beg to differ. nVidia has consistantly provided quality binary drivers for many, many years. They also continue to update legacy drivers to ensure that users with old (oooold) hardware can use new software.
I cannot understand people who continually try to stand up for ATi when they really haven't done a whole lot for the linux community.
They're provided crappy binary drivers and they've released just enough documentation to make subpar open source drivers for their hardware that won't allow it to be used to anywhere near full potential.
I'm sure I come across as an nvidia fanboy on this site because I'm always singing their praises and knocking ATi. In truth I'm just a long-time linux user who has used a variety of cards from both brands (or tried to, in ATi's case). If I was a windows user I might very well advocate ATi cards.
I should also mention I completely gave up on ATi about a year ago. Maybe their drivers have improved since then. At that time, however, there was absolutely no, none, zero, zilch, comparison to be made between nVidia and ATi. Anyone advocating ATi over nVidia for linux gaming or multimedia should, quite honestly, be ashamed of themselves.

To commemorate the 75th NCAA men's basketball Final Four being played in Atlanta, USA TODAY Sports ranked the previous 74 editions.
A panel of six experts individually graded each of the Final Fours from 1-74. Their votes were summed and divided by six to determine each event's average score. Average scores were rounded to the nearest two decimal points (hundredths).
The panelists were college basketball reporters Nicole Auerbach and Eric Prisbell, college columnist Mike Lopresti, college reporter Eddie Timanus, Sports on Earth columnist Will Leitch and Dan Shanoff of USA TODAY Sports.
1. 1979
Teams: Michigan State, Indiana State, DePaul, Penn
Briefly: Some say the modern era of the star-driven NCAA tournament began with this legendary showdown between Michigan State star Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Indiana State standout Larry Bird, but the Spartans' superior supporting cast was the difference in a 75-64 title victory against the Sycamores.
Highest vote: 1 (Lopresti, Auerbach)
Comment: "You wish the game were a LITTLE closer. But otherwise: The Final Four that changed everything." â?? Leitch
2. 1966
Teams: Texas Western, Kentucky, Duke, Utah
Briefly: History was made in Maryland's Cole Field House when the Miners of Texas Western, with an all-African-American starting five coached by Don Haskins, defeated Kentucky 72-65.
Highest vote: 1 (Prisbell, Timanus)
Comment: "UTEP â?? then Texas Western â?? the one that made it a game for everybody." â?? Timanus
3. 1983
Teams: North Carolina State, Houston, Georgia, Louisville
Briefly: The Lorenzo Charles slam of a Dereck Whittenburg air ball put the exclamation point on an improbable North Carolina State run to the championship, giving Jim Valvano his lone NCAA title with a 54-52 win against heavily-favored Houston in the title game in Albuquerque.
Highest vote: 2 (Prisbell)
Comment: "An airball turned alley-oop pass and a floppy-haired coach looking for someone to hug are rightly the most indelible images in the history of March Madness." â?? Prisbell
4. 1985
Teams: Villanova, Georgetown, St. John's, Memphis*
Briefly: The era of the 64-team field opened in memorable fashion as the Hoyas' road to repeat was derailed by Big East rival Villanova, which got hot at the right time and delivered a shooting performance for the ages in a 66-64 title game upset.
Highest vote: 1 (Shanoff)
Comment: " '79 was the Pulp Fiction indie hit to '85 as the Avengers blockbuster." â?? Shanoff
5. 1957
Teams: North Carolina, Kansas, San Francisco, Michigan State
Briefly: It was the star turn for another iconic big man, Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas, but it was an undefeated North Carolina squad coached by Frank McGuire that brought home the trophy, slowing the game and outlasting the Jayhawks 54-53 in triple overtime.
Highest vote: 3 (Lopresti)
Comment: "Simply, the most fiercely-fought Final Four in history." â?? Lopresti
6. 1982
Teams: North Carolina, Georgetown, Houston, Louisville
Briefly: It took a clutch Michael Jordan shot and an unfortunate pass by Georgetown's Freddy Brown, but a 63-62 North Carolina victory finally brought coach Dean Smith his first championship.
Highest vote: 1 (Leitch)
Comment: "This one had everything: An indelible moment, two great coaches battling and, of course, MJ." â?? Leitch
6. 1976
Teams: Indiana, Michigan, UCLA, Rutgers
Briefly: Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson and the Indiana Hoosiers concluded an undefeated 32-0 season - the last team in Division I to accomplish the feat - with an 86-68 championship game triumph over Michigan for coach Bob Knight's first title.
Highest vote: 2 (Auerbach)
Comment: "Perfection, with a Final Four that had little suspense." â?? Leitch
8. 1991
Teams: Duke, Kansas, UNLV, North Carolina
Briefly: Duke avenged its loss to UNLV in the semifinal, then downed Kansas 72-65 for the Blue Devils and Mike Krzyzewski's first championship.
Highest vote: 6 (Prisbell)
Comment: "An intersection of four of the game's greatest coaches, arguably the greatest upset in Final Four history and the start of Mike Krzyzewski's journey to four national titles." â?? Prisbell
9. 1984
Teams: Georgetown, Houston, Kentucky, Virginia
Briefly: Houston was on the wrong side of destiny once again as Patrick Ewing and Georgetown powered to an 84-75 final win.
Highest vote: 4 (Shanoff)
Comment: "Choose one of two landmarks. Either Georgetown's defense, so dominant it held Kentucky to 3-for-33 shooting in the second half of the semifinal. Or John Thompson becoming the first African-American coach to win a national championship." â?? Lopresti
10. 1987
Teams: Indiana, Syracuse, UNLV, Providence
Briefly: The era of the three-point shot began this year, and Indiana's Steve Alford used it to great effect, but it was Keith Smart who hit the big two-pointer to beat Syracuse 74-73 for the third championship for Hoosiers coach Bob Knight.
Highest vote: 6 (Shanoff)
Comment: "Knight's redemption, Boeheim's breakthrough, Billy the Kid, Tark." â?? Shanoff
11. 1974
Teams: North Carolina State, Marquette, UCLA, Kansas
Briefly: David Thompson and his North Carolina State Wolfpack outlasted UCLA 80-77 in double-OT in a memorable semifinal then went on to defeat Marquette 76-64 in front of a home-state crowd in Greensboro.
Highest vote: 5 (Lopresti)
Comment: "In this era, the only certainties were death, taxes and another UCLA title â?? until 1974." â?? Prisbell
12. 1963
Teams: Loyola (Ill.), Cincinnati, Duke, Oregon State
Briefly: Loyola (Ill.) stopped Cincinnati's unprecedented bid for a third consecutive title with a 60-58 OT win in the final.
Highest vote: 7 (Timanus)
Comment: "It was more the events leading up to Loyola's championship that set the stage for UTEP, but the Game of Change in the regional semifinal deserves mention." â?? Timanus
13. 1993
Teams: North Carolina, Michigan*, Kansas, Kentucky
Briefly: Michigan's ill-advised time-out it didn't have in the final seconds provided the clinching free throws as North Carolina closed out a 77-71 win for Dean Smith's second championship.
Highest vote: 9 (Leitch)
Comment: "Chris Webber has had an incredible career, and this is still how he'll always be known." â?? Leitch
14. 2010
Teams: Duke, Butler, Michigan State, West Virginia
Briefly: Butler, carrying the hopes and dreams of every school from a non-power conference, just missed taking down Duke, which won 61-59.
Highest vote: 4 (Timanus)
Comment: "Had Gordon Hayward's heave fallen, it would have been the greatest shot in the history of the sport." â?? Prisbell
15. 1988
Teams: Kansas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Duke
Briefly: It took almost 50 years and an improbable run as a No.6 seed, but Kansas finally got its second championship thanks to Danny Manning, concluding the run by outrunning Oklahoma 83-79 for the title.
Highest vote: 9 (Timanus)
Comment: "Come up with one player you remember from this Final Four other than Danny Manning. That's enough." â?? Leitch
