Stay in Touch with What Your Users are Using
by
Good story about errors cropping up because the developer wasn’t in touch with what his users were using.

by
A great article from Shawn Blanc about MS and Apple having a bunch of the same goals with their tablets. They both want you to move past the thought that a tablet is for strictly consumption and it to a world where it’s your primary tool all the time. Yes that means even for creating…
Surfacing Old Content

For a while I’ve been working to surface some of by old content. I think that there are lots of articles of quality that just get lost as they get pushed back in time by new writing. While this article has a bunch of great ideas there are a few that I hate. So my…
