SpringPad for Android →
I’ve been using the Android SpringPad App lately to save news articles that I want to read/follow-up on later. It’s better than EverNote because it doesn’t require me to connect to the internet to use it. I can store my notes locally and have them synced to the web later. For someone that spends 2 hours a day underground, this flexibility is much appreciated.
Edit: actually...

Windows Phone search -- Bing et al.
As a follow-up to my earlier post, Krishna Subramanian warns everyone to watch out for Bing, but I’d be interested to see how well Microsoft integrates Bing into Windows Phone. We’ve already gotten a sneak peak from this MobileCrunch preview:

Custom Mobile-Friendly Themes for Tumblr
Tumblr does a pretty good job making tumblelogs mobile-friendly by using an iPhone-theme formatted for small screens.
Tumblr even let users customise their mobile theme by simply creating an iphone-theme page.
However, if you don’t want to build a new mobile theme from scratch, Orankucing seems to have figured out, via some clever reverse engineering, the source code for Tumblr’s...

Quote:
Open the dinosaur book and hold it in front of a webcam attached to a computer, and the live image feed on the screen displays a pint-sized 3D T. tex roaming across the page. Do the same with the shark book and the screen fills with water, leaving the user peering into the abyss through a virtual diving mask – whereupon various animated sharks appear, alongside information about each...

Google Voice for UK Peeps
I have a American Google Voice number now (yay proxy servers), but doubt it will get much use while I’m in London.
Google assigned me a phone number (I picked a SF number with repeating 5’s). In order for me to progress further, however, I need to provide a US forwarding number. I can nag my parents to take care of this for me, or even get a SkypeIn account (if Google would allow...

Re: Why Feedback and Filters are Necessary in... →
Would be interested to know if there are twitter clients that filter *out* hashtags. For example, a lot of people are tired of tired of #worldcup tweets. Yes, you can unfollow these users but filtering out by hashtag might be a less extreme approach.
Twitter clients like Seesmic have useful “column interfaces” for viewing twitter lists separately, but no mechanisms for excluding...

A Call for Transparency in Apple’s App Store →
It’s OK for there to be rules required for us to play in the App Store. It’s just not OK that publications and their readers don’t know what the rules are. As advocates of transparency, we in the press should demand transparency from our new partner, Apple.

– Jeff Jarvis: Google is defending citizens of the net
Welcome to my site!
I decided to put this site together to share some random thoughts, as well as some of my UX work. Since I’m still in a honeymoon period with my Nexus One, expect to see upcoming reviews of Android apps and all things mobile.
