Came across this eye-opener and thought, “Wow, this is what people think when they use the Internet?” Certainly gives some perspective into the people for whom we create online products. It things like like this that should remind us to not be so myopic in our design thinking; we must remember that we’re not designing for ourselves.

Where
We’ll be using our brand new building in the SOMA area here in San Francisco. Think skylights, big open space, and enough HVAC to . It’s an easy walk from Civic Center and the new Federal Building, and right around the corner from Custom Lounge, which is where the happy hour will be, in conjunction with IxDA SF.
Here Todd Zaki Warfel from MessageFirst shows us the right way to do wireframes… I wonder at what point mouse his caught on fire.
