3DMark05 pixel pipeline/vertex scaling on NV40 GPU's
Wanting to take a deeper look into the performance variables of 3dmark, Paticularly its vertex emphasis, I decided to collect and gather data of how well 3dmark scales with pixel pipelines and vertex units.
Here is the chart. http://members.cox.net/omega1979/nvnews/vertex.png Game Test 1: This result actually surprised me. The vertex shader emphasis is relatively small here, And this test is definately pixel shader bound. Game Test 2: This is yet another interesting result, The emphasis on vertex performance is rather astounding. In some cases disabling vertex units has much more profound impact than disabling 4 pixel pipelines. It is my subjective opinion that this test is unrealistic in regards to gaming and polygon counts. GameTest 3: This test is very balanced between vertex/pixel shader performance. Losing fairly fair shares of performance with each disabled. Conclusion: Why this conclusion is half based and only based off a night's work. I have to say that denying 3dmarks' extreme load on vertex performance is folly. This benchmark is as vertex limited as it is pixel limited. Whether this vertex performance will be a realistic interpretation of future gaming remains to be seen. I personally have my doubts we'll be seeing games with over 1 million drawn polygons per scene anytime soon. Even Unreal 3.0 will only draw 400,000. P.S. This information oughta be useful for your soft modders, give ya an idea of what to expect ;) |
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
Hrm... I'm actually interested in why the NV40's vertex performance is FAR more reflective of its clock speed than its Pixel performance is. In other words - the NV40 does a lot better in terms of pixel fill per clock than vertex fill. Or at least, that's what it looks like to me.
Interesting results though - top effort in producing this! |
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
Nice work!
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
3DMark05 is pixel limited too. Here are my X800 PRO scores:
ASUS AX800 PRO/TVD 256MB (475,900) 12x1 / 6 VS Units = 4600 3DMarks ASUS AX800 PRO/TVD 256MB (475,900) 16x1 / 6 VS Units = 5111 3DMarks ATI RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition (520,1120) 16x1 / 6 VS Units = 5795 3DMarks |
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
Very intresting results, espically the diffrene between 8x1 adn 16x1 :o
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
That could explains why I only got about 300-400 point more when I enabled the extra 4 pixel units on my BGF 6800 OC. I wonder if higher clock speed will reduce the difference? |
Re: 3dmark05 Pixel Pipeline/Vertex Scaling on NV40 GPUS
to me this implies a bandwith restriction even on the shader units, It makes me wonder if even the Nv4x series are seeing diminishing returns at 16 pipes (compared to 8x1 to 12x1) I wonder how bandwith limited the X800 is. Which would of course raise several other questions, Clock effiency, Shader efficiency, ect |

God blesses churches with many resources – people, time and money – and He expects us to be good stewards with what He provides.
Members tithe on their income to support the operation of the ministry, making it even more important to be good church stewards and manage financial resources responsibly.
So what is the definition of stewardship? According to dictionary.com, Stewardship is, "the responsible overseeing and protection of something considered worth caring for and preserving". In the church, stewardship is the responsible oversight of church funds, property and equipment.
5 Keys to Responsible Church Stewardship
1. Know What You Are Trying to Accomplish
The first important step to good stewardship is knowing why you exist and what you are trying to accomplish.
This is done by creating a mission, vision and values statement that articulates the purpose of the church and what it hopes to achieve as an organization.
This important first step sets the direction and decision making model for the ministry.
2. Budget Toward the Vision
The next step is to create an annual church budget that funds the vision.
This includes looking at those strategic objectives that require financial support and allocating dollars to support church goals.
For example, if the vision results in a strategy that includes outreach to the poor, dollars should be allocated for the development of an outreach program.
This may include funding for administrative oversight, supplies and marketing materials.
3. Wise Spending Decisions
Spending decisions will be made as dollars are allocated to fund the different strategies of the church and using wisdom in that spending is critical to good stewardship.
A decision model that helps with prioritizing spending is asking the question, is this something we want, need or have-to-have?
In other words, is this something we would like to spend money on that we would like (want) for the strategy, or is this something we want to purchase that is mission critical (have-to-have) to the success of the strategy.
For example, developing an outreach program may require purchasing equipment and a decision may be made to purchase a new or used piece of equipment. The goal would be to get the best value for the dollar without sacrificing qualify. It does the church no benefit to buy a used computer that only lasts a year when spending a few more dollars will ensure the computer is around for several years.
4. Accountability for Managing Funds
A church budget guides spending decisions, but it is also important to make sure that those budgeted dollars are spent on those things that it was allocated for.
This requires a budget review process that ensures that monthly spending does not exceed the monthly allocated dollars. A budget review or finance committee would be the right group to do this.
If there are variances in the budget they should be addressed and reconciled on a monthly basis. This helps to ensure there are no surprises at the end of the year.
5. Conflict of Interest
Decision making for spending ministry resources should always be made with the best interest of the organization in mind. This means ensuring that comparisons are made when making large purchases or securing vendor relationships.
A good rule of thumb is to get three bids and choose the vendor with the best quality for the price. Cheapest isn't always better if the product or service is inferior. Allowing family, friends and members to bid is ok as long as vendor negotiations and decisions are made in the best interest of the church – not the friend.
Every organization should be good stewards with the resources they have but the church needs to be held to an even higher standard since they resources they are given are from the sacrifice of their members. This is God's money and we need to never lose sight of that fact.

Mixed feeling
The fist thing I noticed was the scent. It had a rich floral scent, mainly coming from orchid I assume. The creme was not too heavy or thick, and it absorbed into my post-scrubbed/exfoliated skin quickly. My skin felt hydrated and smooth. But unfortunately, the fragrance was a bit too strong for me. It left lingering fragrance on my skin for a while. Once the smell gradually faded away, I was able...read more to enjoy more. The strength of the scent was equivalent to a perfumed body lotion, which I only wear to special occasions. Therefore, I did not buy the full size product, but still got a sample size instead. I read the insert stating that a portion of the sales are donated to the rain forest foundation, I think that's a a great cause, but I am just not too crazy about the scent of this creme. If you love a perfumed body creme/lotion, you will love this creme much more than I did. — 4 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Like the person before me said, it's true this body cream has a high price point. But for me, I find it's so nice, it's hard to resist.

I really don't mind anything anyone wants to post. If it doesn't interest me or I don't have time to read it, I just skip it. This is a big group and different things are interesting to different people. I like when we keep things lose since you never know what might be helpful to a particular person.

Before guests could enter the Long Island party, they were looked over to make sure they were wearing all white by guards, the New York Post reported. Those who did not wear all white were turned away with a few exceptions.
Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran was almost turned away because his date was wearing beige, but security guards finally let them both enter, the Post said.
Other guests dressed in all white were: Donna Karan, Kelly Osbourne, Howard Stern, Mary J. Blige and Russell Simmons.
However, Jay-Z was allowed in wearing a blue-white striped shirt.

The recruiting emphasis points towards Iowa State going strong into a spead offense this season. Coach McFarland was known for his spread previous coaching stints, but Iowa State didn't have the personel for much spread last year. I believe we'll see more and more spread offense, Arnaud and Bates rotating at QB to start and IF the Big 12 continues to allow illegal holding by the receivers, almost totally spead for ISU in the conference. Chizik is a quick learn, and he saw Mizzou and KU last season. And yes, we'll have freshmen receivers playing a lot of minutes.
Totally agree. Going to love to seeing our running backs work out of the spread also. Bass and Robinson's skills are perfect for the spread. Good hands and are fast and elusive. Would also like to see a couple sets with Arnaud, Bates, and Tiller. Probably will never happen, but would give opposing defensive coordinators headaches. I'm liking the number of offensive skill players Gene has put together.
Maybe we could run a sort of "wild hog" formation with Bates. It would be perfect for his skill set.

The "Spread Offence Revolution" is on ...and its hightime that iowa state joins in on the fun!!
Originally Posted by cyismydog Maybe we could run a sort of "wild hog" formation with Bates. It would be perfect for his skill set. that would be awesome
Missouri has been running it for awile now but the worst scoring output for them this past year during the regular season was 31 points. Thats alot of scoring and a lot of exciting football. I can't wait till ISU is racking up that many points a game.
I could care less what offense we run as long as it translates to W's.
I don't know if I would throw our team at the mercy of the spread offense just yet. While it is necessary to have a few formations in your offense similar to the spread (4 or 5 wide, trips, flex, etc.), I think ISU needs to establish their offensive line and running game. Let's stick with a pro-style offense and work on being a physical team before being a finesse team. Personally, I am not a fan of the spread. I love running to set up the pass. Not the other way around. Just because it works for some teams, does not mean it will work for others. Especially with young QB's.
yeah I got very tired of watching missouri and kansas hold us on virtually every passing down. Then again, I am one to believe that the big 12 officials are not all that good/fair most of the time. For being a major conference, they sure have sub-par officiating.
Originally Posted by CyBobby The "Spread Offence Revolution" is on ...and its hightime that iowa state joins in on the fun!! I hope our O-line will allow us to run this...Might have to wait for the lineman that Chiz got in this class since they are a better fit for a faster spread offense type...just a thought...
Originally Posted by cyismydog Oregon actually used Dennis Dixon, their starting quarterback, in the same formation. They called it the pistol formation. Nevada started the "Pistol" a few years ago. Houston ran some form of it; can't remember what they called it. I think it would be awesome to see some form of the "Wild Hog" with Bates or the "Pistol" with AA or Bates.
I think some believe that the spread takes pressure off your oline because more DBs/speedy LBs are needed to cover receivers. However, I believe that its the other way around. Just like DB's in one on one coverage are left on an island to defend, the oline's going to be more pressured by some of the outstanding/strong, big, fast DEs and DTs in the B12. If, and that's a big if, the oline continues to surprise and improve, then we are setting ourselves up for a KU style offensive break through. However, as with most everything in FB, no matter what formation you're running, it comes down the oline being the path to success, followed by your dline. People are sometimes mystified why ISU has so many quality skill players, well that's because a premium is placed on recruiting good lineman for this reason.
I would love if we had the hogs to line up in the I and run the **** out of the ball. Probably won't happen unless we would ever get Loney back.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

Directed by Jonny Franklin
Co-Director Ben Kent
Producer: Ben Franklin
Director of Photography: Jonny Franklin
Written by Joel Morgan and Ben Franklin
Pray you never bring her home. When a one night stand has horrible repercussions, a sexual predator becomes the prey…
Bloody Cuts 3rd film takes a fresh take on lust and revenge starring Fergal Phillips, Jessica Blake and David Blood and with more superb work from Millennium FX.
As his Directing debut, Jonny Franklin was conscious of the overall desire to not only keep improving every episode, but also trying to do something different and unpredictable. He approached Joel Morgan and Ben Franklin with the nugget of an idea, and through some discussion that grew into a classic "monster under the bed" story. However there were some elements that the story shared with "Stitches", which we were keen to avoid for fear of repeating ourselves. After 8 drafts of the script, the story was finally settled on, which was a blend of J-horror, Fincher, and the age old legends of the banshee and the Succubus.
Continuing our trend for shooting in Norfolk, we found ourselves holed up in a beautiful house for the weekend where our complex shooting script was filmed over the space of 30 hours. Again we had Millennium FX returning, and this time taking the makeup reins was Karen Spencer.
We were all keen to get a bit of blood and gore on the screen (after all, we are Bloody Cuts!) so Karen went to work in detailing a giant gash along side of Fergal's face, treating the audience to a quite horrific and memorable scene. The VFX work, again handled by Alex Purcell, was much heavier this time too, with around 10 shots needing extensive and often subtle work.
"Prey" also saw another addition to the team, in filmmaker Andrew Martin, who arrived armed with his magnificent Red Epic camera. Andrew pulled focus, whilst Ben Kent did an excellent job on camera even though it was his first time operating it. And of course we can't forget the fantastic steadicam work that Peter Ford performed, perfectly matching Jonny's vision for stylistically transitioning between flashbacks.
Trivia: The 'scream' of the banshee was directly taken from the French horror "Martyrs", after many hours spent unsuccessfully trying to find a sound effect that would do the character justice.

So, what good are followers and following?
Is the only benefit the number that displays?
Does the number of followers I have somehow play into my items being ranked better in search results?
the arcane mysteries of envato. the followers list is a feature they worked on at some moment but left half baked.
you can see the items released by people you follow on the homepage in the 3×3 box on the right of the page.
Its vanity really.
But if you follow an author, their updates appear on the home page.
You see the new approved items of authors you follow on the start page of AJ. Looks like the following-system is a service for customers to find the newest tracks of their favourite authors quickly.
Ah, thanks all. I missed that because I never start at the home page! I suspect many (most?) authors do not. My bookmark is for my profile or my dashboard.
If I was a reviewer I would rejected because does not meet envato current quality requirements.
The way is working now don't make any sense, if envato in the near future don't have intentions to improve it, it would be better to delete it.

Honey has been used by humans since ancient times for its health benefits and as a sweetener and flavoring for many foods and beverages, with tea being the most popular. Next to maple syrup, it is the most commonly used natural sweetener in North America.
Honey bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and regurgitating it into beeswax honeycombs inside their hive. Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the hive of honey bees of the genus Apis and its most popular uses are beeswax candles and as an ingredient in natural skin care products.
The flavor and color of honey is determined by the type of flower the bees gather the nectar from; therefore, when cooking or baking with honey it is a good idea to taste the honey before using it in a recipe. For example: a dark honey like tulip poplar-black locust honey will result in a strong, heavy, pungent flavor, whereas orange blossom honey will result in a delicate orange flavor. Dark-colored honey is considered to be higher in minerals and antioxidants than light-colored honey, and one of the most well-known dark-colored honeys is buckwheat honey. Raw buckwheat honey contains a higher amount of minerals and an antioxidant called polyphenol, which gives it its dark color. The health benefits of buckwheat honey are many and well known.
The rawest honey available is comb honey which is sections of the hexagonal-shaped beeswax cells of the honeycomb that contain raw honey that have been cut from the wooden frames of a beehive.
Using raw honey is a long-term investment strategy for optimal health and personal care; the dividends are overall mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Like a blue chip stock, raw honey should be included in any health-conscious consu

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30797866 United States 12/28/2012 11:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | florida came so close to being an open carry state. they did relax the laws regarding printing and accidental showing of concealed weapons..so i guess that helps a little. i carry everyday. i always encourage others to do the same. if open carry were legal, i would...and conceal carry too :p |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 31013220 United States 12/28/2012 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've decided that I will, when legally possible, open carry ALL of the time. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26646277 Study the local laws in your area and find out if you can open carry a weapon. It doesn't have to be a pistol, it can be a long gun. F it, walk around with a musket if you have to. There are two schools of thought on this subject. One is that open carry intimidates would-be crims. The other is that hardened crims will simply decide to kill you first before attempting to take your wallet. I tend to believe the first assertion. |

Err, shuffle? Mark the tracks for gapless playback and you're away.
If you need to play in a specific order you'll need to add them to the playlist in the order you need and then just play. Try my custom Mac Forums Search Engine: Mac Forums Google Search Please use the reputation system if you consider any help given useful (it's the little ✓/✘ on the left <---) |

It is called shuffle. Incase you do not know how to get to it, look at the bottom left of your iTunes, there will be 4 little buttons. The one 3 over from the right (2 over from the left) is the one you want to click. If that is not what you are looking for, there is also Genius. Genius makes playlists for you out of the songs in your library. |

There are several apps and plugins made be freeware developers (****, even some firefox extensions) that will blend your playlist based on key, tempo, etc... but they work about as well as Genius (which is to say "not very well at all, Computers aren't very good DJs). Since Genius is already there (unless you need to update iTunes), use that. It's a pain in the ***, but so are the rest of them.
Otherwise, iTunes regular old shuffle feature actually does a lot of that for you (you can adjust it in the references menu), so you may just be better off using that. If you want a professional (DJ-quality) mix, you'll pretty much have to make it yourself ahead of time. |

The Armageddon Rag | |||||
George R.R. Martin | |||||
Gollancz, 369 pages | |||||
A review by Sherwood Smith
The opening swiftly sets the scene: as the hippie generation swelled into student protests in the late sixties,
the rock band called Nazgûl became the voice of a generation. Their rise to fame peaked on September 20th, 1971,
at an enormous outdoor concert in West Mesa, New Mexico, then abruptly fell with the shooting death of the lead
singer, Patrick Henry Hobbins, or 'Hobbit," right on stage.
The murder remained unsolved and the band went their separate ways. Their followers also dispersed, including
Sandy Blair, a young student-journalist who'd helped found a rock magazine
called Hedgehog. He wrote for the Hog
until he was fired. The Hog was going mainstream, where the money was, leaving Sandy in the wreckage of the
Age of Aquarius.
Now Blair is a novelist whose three publications have been progressively less successful. Stuck on page 37,
he's living with a real estate agent whose grownup attitude has pulled him into a practical, contract-defined,
gender-equal condo that is a creative black hole.
He gets a call from his ex-friend and editor at the Hog to investigate the murder of the rock agent who had
once managed the Nazgûl. Blair is curious as well as at loose ends; he drives to Maine to discover that the
murder was carried out in an extremely grisly ritual, with visual evidence linking to one of the Nazgûls' songs.
His literary agent and his girlfriend both want him to man up, drop the investigation and get back to practical
matters. His response? What is the only possible response when everyone around you earnestly advises you to grow
up and face reality? Road trip!
As Blair travels cross country to interview former Nazgûl and his once-activist friends, he is also
traveling into his past. But the present doesn't stand still: violence follows him, making it clear that the
murder of the rock agent is no isolated incident, but part of a pattern.
The trip into memory, fuel-injected by rock lyrics of the sixties, shifts into psychedelic fantasy, as a new
impresario who fought for the sixties revolution brings the band together, the goal a repeat performance at
West Mesa. Sandy, the emotional, political, and spiritual agnostic, hired as reluctant publicity flack, becomes
the key player in an apocalypse that he doesn't believe he's seeing until he's got the past, present, and
future in the cross-hairs.
As I was rereading the book in the handsome new Gollancz edition, the cover caught the eye of my son. The art
depicts the Eye of Sauron set in the scope of a sniper rifle, and Martin's name is even larger than the
title. My son is the drummer in a rock band; as a boy, he sat beside me each December when the
latest Tolkien Ring film came out; and while I don't know if he's watching the Game of Thrones
fantasy series on TV, he certainly recognized Martin's name.
I thought he'd be the perfect reader for this book, and began describing it. As I did, I watched his reaction,
aware of the paradigmatic divide between my generation and his. When I read J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings as a
teen in the mid-sixties, it belonged to people my age, the counter-culture. I found it incredibly exciting,
almost a secret code, when Lord of the Rings references began showing up in rock songs and on posters.
For my son, Lord of the Rings was Stuff Mom and Dad read, made into films that everybody went to
see. Counter-culture for him in his mid-teens was punk rock and art, maybe Sandman comics. The sixties to him
meant boring lectures and old vids about flag burning and the Viet Nam War, Nixon and Watergate... test
questions on history exams, not the blood, sweat and tears of people once his own age who thought to
reshape the world, inspired -- sometimes driven -- by music.
The Armageddon Rag was first published in 1983, three years after Reagan's election. Sandy Blair symbolizes
so many of the thirty-something ex-revolutionary baby boomers, so many of whom were bitter, bewildered, wondering
what had happened to the revolution, and how could we end up with a President who made Tricky Dick look liberal?
Reading that book in the eighties, I found Sandy's existential angst, the sky-challenging "What happened to
us?" resonated so deeply that I could scarcely bear to reread the novel. Images from it chased me for quite a
while after, and friends and I who talked about the novel often ruminated about which band's songs were
closest to the "Rag."
In the mid-eighties, as I recall, the most agreed-on songs were "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and the long version
of "Stairway to Heaven," but on this reread what came to mind was a vid I saw a year or two ago of a performance
by Schandmaul -- whose rock demonstrates a strong Tolkienian influence -- when thousands of their fans took
over chanting one of the lines and wouldn't let it go. The exhilaration teetering on the edge of mass action
seemed to disconcert the band, to put it mildly.
It's that eerie reality-distorting vibe that turns crowds into mobs with a single mind and a single goal that
Martin evokes so effectively. I used the term psychedelic fantasy up above because Blair is never really
certain that the supernatural has irrupted into the natural world as he defines it, or if he's hallucinating.
On this reread, I found the earnest world-weariness of a bunch of thirty-somethings was amusing to me in
my sixties, further, that some of Sandy's anxious ranting about what went wrong tended toward length and
repetition. Whenever Sandy starts shaking, you know several pages of tirade are coming up, some more
effective than others: on page 60, when he cries, "I don't like it, I don't like it!" and two lines later
he blames the wine, I was thinking, unfortunate choice of words. I didn't need the echo of "whine."
Another aspect that had decidedly dated was the cheerfully unconscious (white) male het view of women: while
the men get generally described, the women all receive visual reports on the size and shape of their
breasts. But even with that Martin plays fair for the modern reader, in that Sandy does not get a free
pass for his sexually-oriented evaluations of character.
Though the action rises to a dramatic climax, on this reread, the scene I found the most effective was
Sandy's plunge among the ghosts of the disastrous 1968 Democratic National Convention in
Chicago. Occult-caused time travel? -- actual ghosts? -- the characters' differing perceptions of reality
overlap at times like interlocking war zones. Whose version of reality is 'right' is immaterial, even
uninteresting, juxtaposed against the resonance of truth.
And it's exactly this aspect (as well as the book being overall a ripping good yarn) that I'd love to
talk over with my son. It is inevitable that we are going to look at human behavior, history, and music
from either end of the decades in question, but one thing for certain: any book that can foster such
discussion and still entertain, no matter what the age of the reader, is a keeper.

I encountered this interaction design a few minutes ago and it moved me to post :)
I've been sick all week with a sinus infection and have gone through several boxes of tissues at home and work. Our brand of choice for the home is Kleenex. No affiliation, just personal preferance. At work they provide Angel Soft. A few minutes ago I grabbed for a tissue and noticed that the one that popped up after was a different color. Not significantly different, just not white.
Good afternoon!
We're looking for experienced User Experience professionals in the San Diego area to partner with and support multiple projects throughout the year. We currently have two separate opportunities that will both last for 12 weeks.
This is a unique opportunity to help guide/influence end-to-end business solutions to maximize audience engagement and transform our clients' businesses.
Dear List member
I am looking for undergraduate program titled exactly interactive media design or interaction design in Europe ( except UK)
------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Oguzhan Ozcan http://oguzhan.ozcan.info http://interaktif.tasarim.okulu.info --------------------------------------------
The Foundation of Advertising (FoA) and Turkish Association of Advertising Agencies (TAAA) are applying to a call for proposals opened by the EU for "improving the employment prospects of currently unemployed young graduates".
The project aims at providing training in interactive media design for opening the recruitment path to young graduates from related departments such as computer engineering and visual communication and design.
FoA needs approximately 5 experts for the technology and design sessions of the training program.
First - regarding upload and download - the use of these terms within this community is so self-evident as to be tautological. Upload and downlode make use of the spatial metaphors that here is down and there is up. Why there is up is up for debate - but thats the way it is. For more on metaphor - see Saffer's master's thesis and Lakoff/Johnson's "Metaphors We Live By."
More interesting is import/export. Before file formats, different OSes, and networked computers - import/export had a commonly understood meaning. Import was to bring goods into a country from somewhere outside.
Season of Usability is a series of mentored student projects to encourage students of usability, user-interface design, and interaction design to get involved with Freee/Libre/Open-Source Software (FLOSS) projects.
Hey junior designers -
Are you an interaction design/UI design college student looking for an internship this summer? Do you have passion around designing things to help people better manage their health? If so, we may have a great summer opportunity for you.
Our group, Digital Health (a part of Intel Corp), is diving head first into the health care market. You will be working with a team of social scientists, software and hardware engineers.
A question for experienced Interaction Designers:
what academic courses have proven to be the most valuable in providing you with the conceptual and practical skills to succeed at your profession??
what academic courses were not valuable?
Your guidance may help the next generation of students tailor their degree programs more accurately.?
We'd like to invite you to the first official IxDA Toronto event!
Join interaction designers and other user experience specialists at a casual get-together. We'll be getting to know each other, chatting about some recent mailing list topics (portfolios, education and interesting interaction innovations), and gathering ideas for future meeting topics.
LinuxCaffe has generously offered to host the event. They'll have a wide variety of very tasty beverages and goodies available for sustenance!
Who We Are:
We're a group of Torontonians interested in interaction design.
I'm currently working on a redesign on an application that creates threads of emails and related information. I was wondering if anyone knows of really good examples beyond google mail and the threading in apple mail.
