I love browsing thru my photos. I love seeing old snapshots emerge in the Flickr stats or in old links or chats. I realize… Continue reading When you have over 20 thousand photos on Flickr…

Notes and photos from #UXcampch
Some notes and photos from Saturday’s UX camp in Zürich: Adrian Sameli took us thru the process of building infographics. His tip on tools to use: Excel and Adobe Illustrator.

Embedded Flickr photos not showing in Chrome
I’m seeing some unexpected page views: Flickr photos embedded in the old way are not showing in Google Chrome on Mac. But they are showing in Safari on the same machine.

Unfortunately,… Continue reading Less is more: Creating display ads in different sizes

Social Objects and how they help me to connect
In a recent offline conversation, I dropped a comment: That’s my common social object with so-and-so. Me in an informal conversation I realized how much this old blog post from the beginnings of blogging has influenced me. My observation: If I find a common social object, it helps me re-connect. If I find a common… Continue reading Social Objects and how they help me to connect
