Steve Jobs on Design

August 3, 2010 in Design | No comments

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don’t take the time to do that.

- Steve Jobs, in a 1996 interview with Wired magazine

10/22/09 #Lrnchat Quotables

October 23, 2009 in Just For Fun | No comments

lrnchat{if you aren’t acquainted with #lrnchat…}

I participate as often as I can, and tonight I decided to post some of my favorites from last night. (Yes, sometimes I blog purely for the pleasure of deciding to do something and then do it. No committee involved.)

So, without further ado…

Re: Q1) What new trends, approaches, etc are you suspicious of?

oxala75: i’m always suspicious of VW, but mostly because of its implementation, not its potential.

tmiket: I like easy to use software but ….just b/c you have a wrench doesn’t make you a mechanic..

Re: Q2) What skills are we missing in the suite necessary for good learning design?

Quinnovator: Q2: a willingness to go to the mat for the user experience, supporting fun over seriousness

And a bonus to take me over my word limit, but totally worth it…

Re: a side conversation?

Quinnovator: er,,, sex education or sex training: which would you want your daughter to have in high school?

Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning

July 1, 2009 in Uncategorized | 2 comments

A few weeks ago, I went to a new hair stylist. He had posted this quote in a frame near his mirror:

alvin_toffler_quote

He said that he normally rotated quotes on a regular basis, but this one had stuck with him for a couple of years. It kind of stuck with me too, because it’s the best expression of this idea that I’ve seen.
