So, I’ve decided to rechristen this blog. I don’t write often enough about programming to really justify having a separate blog for it, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. But what I do have a huge itching to start writing more about is design. Not graphic design, mind you (I have BenjaminCrowder.com for that), but all the rest — industrial, instructional, UI, you name it. It’ll be the same thing I’ve done over on my Beyond blog, just with wider scope. (Everything except genealogy. :))
As a quick sampling of what I’ve got in mind, here are some of the topics I’ve got floating around in my head: ebooks (how to make them more palatable), kitchen designs, map design, and information design theory. And my inspirations include Don Norman’s Design of Everyday Things, Edward Tufte’s books, and the TED talks, so that’s the sort of flavor I’ll be getting at.
I’ll have the maiden post up in the next few days.
