Currently in the middle of a fantastic holiday in Tokyo, and devising ways that I could move here.
Here’s a few snaps from along the way.

I’m very excited to talk about a technique that we’ve started using at LayerVault. We call it Progressive Reduction.
Love this example from Hello Fax of a poor user experience turned into a positive one.
Rather than being punished by going over your fax limit, Hello Fax still lets you send it for free.
A nice, humanly touch.

How Designers Destroyed the World
Mike Monteiro’s talk from Webstock this year is nothing short of brilliant.
You may think your apartment complex is cramped, but Hong Kong’s urban center has you beat.
In Density of Architecture, Michael Wolf explores the mesmerizing array of housing in one of the world’s most densely populated cities.

Here’s a great business concept:
Grannies, Inc - A bespoke knitwear company, powered by a team of knitting grannies. Great concept, and a beautiful product creation user flow. Lovely user experience for a bunch of grannies.
Grannies, Inc. was launched in 2009 with the vision of spreading the love of granny-made knitwear. If you have ever been lucky enough to have a granny on demand to knit you what your heart desires then you will appreciate how treasured a homemade knit can be. If you don’t have your own knitting granny to call upon then you’ve come to the right place - we’ve got plenty to spare! They are all knitting veterans who love nothing more than to knit for others.
Personally, I think would be a signature moment if users could select the actual granny to knot your garment, or even a live-stream to see the chosen granny knitting your scarf.
Turn your kid’s drawings into 3D figurines. What a great idea!
The #facesinplaces hashtag is a source of never-ending joy.
