Listening to Cohen’s Masterpiece

Sitting at work - listening to the musical score from Bioshock.

Fantastic. Utterly amazing. Really brings you back to those wonderful moments in the game and those feelings of wonderment and awe. *Sniff* I misses you Bioshock! Why oh why did I have to beat you so quick? Why couldn’t you have been a little longer?

I guess it’s time I set it on hard and have another go.

Oh - and if you’re looking to score the score, you can snag it here.

How Usability Affects Products - Part 2: Basecamp

Last time I looked at one aspect of what Google did right with their very intuitive and fun to use Reader.

This time, I’d like to focus on the group management and collaboration software: Basecamp.

Designed and built by 37signals. They really hit the nail on the head with a easy to use and intuitive product. Today I’ll be looking at a specific aspect that really made me go ‘wow, that’s so simple - why doesn’t everyone do that?’

U Comment. I Follow.

Originally created to cut down on blog spam, the nofollow rel for links in all actuality hurts your blog/website as well as your visitors. There’s less incentive for them to leave comments - which helps their pagerank a little.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming…

I’ve been quiet these last couple of weeks, and for that I apologize.  It’s not really my fault you see, it’s the evil space monkey’s that have been staying in my living room. They’re really pushy and, well - see they love to play Bioshock and Rainbow Six: Las Vegas. I tried telling them that I had shit to do, but they would have none of it.

I finally figured out I could get rid of them by driving them to a wild grove of bananas and sneaking away while they basked in the banana induced orgasm. (Wow, that sounds a lot more dirty than I meant it to…)

Anyways, I’m still here.
