Is it just me....November 25, 2008 by pibbers

....or is anyone else finding the huge snowmen suspended above Carnaby Street, a little scary.
Maybe it's because they are somewhat remeniscent of the Staypuff Marshmallow man who haunted my dreams from 1983 until...well pretty much 1997!

Or maybe it's the ominous way they appear to have been captured in the middle of a huge leap, seconds before they come crashing down to bundle you.

And the underlighting doesn't help either.

Mummy!

Don't leave me hanging...November 21, 2008 by pibbers

It's can be frustrating when this happens...

No results, no suggestions (I mean, it was only a teeny tiny spelling mistake) and no helpful advice.

Then see where it came from...

Ouch!

Souper usabilty?October 24, 2008 by pibbers

I think not.

What kind of crazy ergonomist worked on this design of this spoon? It's clearly twice as deep as is comfortable for a soup spoon, resulting in an unsightly soup moustache.


It's not mo-vember yet, Eat!

War. HUH. What is it good for.....October 2, 2008 by pibbers

.....interesting new types of interaction apparently??

GOOD is a magazine and website for 'people who give a damn'. Whilst viewing a video on 'The Hidden Cost of War' we found an interesting method for handling those little housekeeping links that so often find themselves at the very top of the page.


Instead of navigating the user away from the page they are viewing, to a new page containing the 'About' or 'Contact' information, the content opens ABOVE the page...yes, above.....how cool is that? So the stuff you were originally viewing is still there but further down.

Brill!

A tasty nav...August 27, 2008 by pibbers

...recently brought to my attention on epicurious.com

The horizontal nav features your usual rollover-and-drop-down type interactivity. Nicely done with the added bonus of having a regularly changing 'featured item' underneath it that might be of interest.


Yummy!

However, the surprise happens when you click the little arrow to the right of the category name....et voila.... all the navigation under that category is shown in one fell swoop.

A nice way to personalise the navigation to suit the user's individual tastes.

Now, all this talk of food is making me hungry.
