Review: Little blue markers that are only noticed when needed? Just right. It is this sort of design that truly aids us when needed, and is out of mind when greater thoughts are at-mind.

Review: The "Don't Make Me Think" book at first seemed like it was only for Web site design, but later I realized that it applied all over the place. Also, as we begin to live in the information age -- with lots of information to attend to -- I have also starting to design with minimalism as a key concept. People seem to like it. It lets them get right to the point of what they want to do.

Review: I agree with this simple assement concerning design and art. I think there is more truth in the retorical question of what is wrong with getting lost anyway? The degree of lost is probably the variable that is the issue. Being a caver I very much cherish the few times I was truly lost in virgin cave, sometimes a thousand feet and a few miles below ground in a maze. Somewhere in the connecting to the way back out I felt I truly groked the passage ways and I treasure the memories deeply. I think there is some element of disapointment in seeing even a small marker in the background when it distracts me from the foreground. I truly feel that it belittles me and treats me like a child, But if it prohibts me from a big risk it is tolerable. Perhaps, I am at one end of the extreme? What do you think?
