We’re in the double digits now, ya’ll!

DESIGN
- A Brief Rant on the Future of Interaction Design. Interesting article about how we’ve been limiting the way we interact with our devices.
- This iPad Interface Prefers “Real” Tools To Digital Ones (via Co.Design). Related to the article above, how to create more multi-touch experience. I actually saw this presented at the HCI conference I attended last month.
- Spectacular Historic Infographics Now Available As Posters (Co.Design). Pretty pretty, right? Seen above
SOCIAL
- My Experience Designing for the Blind (via Medium, Timo Loescher). Researching and discovering the real problem (the real opportunity, the real need) is the best way to make the strongest designs.
- The Anti-Sitting Movement Brings You a Chairless Work Office (via GOOD). Sitting is deadly, dontcha know?
(because you know you always just wanted to work with a bunch of bored looking 20-somethings). - Apple’s Accessibility. Just all of it. It was so excited to learn about what they do to make their products more accessible.
- Running Late? Nah, Just On ‘CPT’ (via NPR). This was interesting especially after my Language & Culture class. The first time I heard this phrase it was for Indian Standard Time.
- China’s “Rat Tribe.” I read this article about the millions of people who are living in underground bombshelters and storage units in China. Ughhhhhhh.
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
- Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With. You know it! I know it. Now it’s confirmed by this biased article geared towards millennials.
- No More Word Puzzles: Google Can Tell You’re Human With One Click (via NPR). No more Captcha, Google has figured out how to know if you’re a robot or not just by the quality of movement of the cursor/input. Yeah, basically you don’t even have to read the article anymore.
- Haptic shapes using ultrasound. WHAT? Shapes you can feel and see, but aren’t real.
- Cyclists Who Hate Hills, Meet Norway’s Bike Escalator. Norway! You are doing it right.
MEDIA
- Burt’s Buzz. Documentary about the founder of Burt’s Bees. Really loved it! He’s this timeless old hippie curmudgeon.
- Secret State of North Korea. PBS documentary and just stumbled upon randomly and then couldn’t stop watching it.
