Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies

Computer users organize their files into folders because that is the primary tool offered by operating systems. But applying this standard hierarchical model to my own files, I began to notice shortcomings of this paradigm over the years.

Flinto - What Douglas Engelbart Taught Me About Designing User Interfaces

I attended a small school-sponsored dinner party in 2005 when I was a student at Santa Clara University. Our special guest was Douglas Engelbart. Englebart is commonly known as the inventor of the computer mouse, but his contributions to computing go far beyond that. Englebart died Wednesday.

Writing Handbook by Julian Shapiro

This handbook helps you write nonfiction books and blogs. Writing is the act of thinking clearly with the help of paper. Writing slows down your thinking so you can play with your ideas. Writing is one of the most radical things you can do without money. Skilled writers change the world from their couch.

Webinar - What stories can you narrate with data?

I got invited to conduct a virtual, interactive workshop on data storytelling, for MIT ID Innovation Program's Virtual GradShow. In the workshop, I explained why data needs to be narrated as stories, showed some case studies by Gramener & walked through the process of going from data analysis to narrating a story.

Visualizing 500 Days of Summer

This semester began with a module on Narratives, and when I got a chance to pick a topic for my Information Visualization module, I just had to visualize this movie's non-linear narrative! Spoiler Alert: In case you haven't seen the movie, I suggest you see it before seeing the final visualization (which contains plot & quotes).

A Unified Theory for Designing Just About Anything

A few years back I was obsessed with the question of why some companies rocked at one thing, and sucked at another. How could Amazon be so good at Information Architecture & Interaction Design, and yet so bad at Graphic Design (and Apple software the opposite: pretty and pretty unusable.)

Fritz Kahn: The Little-Known Godfather of Infographics

Around the time when Austrian sociologist, philosopher, and curator Otto Neurath was building his ISOTYPE visual language, which laid the foundation for pictogram-based infographics, another infographic pioneer was doing something even more ambitious: The German polymath Fritz Kahn (September 29, 1888-January 14, 1968) - amateur astronomer, medical scientist by training, gynecologist by early occupation, artist by inclination, writer, educator and humanist by calling - was developing innovative visual metaphors for understanding science and the human body, seeking to strip scientific ideas of their alienating complexity and engage a popular audience with those essential tenets of how life works.

Yes this is so true. I've helped work on models for this at a few companies in the past. There is no good model yet I think, or at least not what I've heard of or experienced.

Reasons you aren't updating your personal site

This was the first year in many that I managed to regularly update and publish content on my personal site. In past years I started strong (usually around New Years) with fresh writing, energy, and enthusiasm. But somewhere around February or March, things died off and I could never find that momentum again.

The Essence of the Essence

This article summarizes the key ideas in the book The Essence of Software. It is not intended to be understandable by itself. It gives almost no examples, makes claims without justifying them, and cites almost no related work. And it's not nearly so much fun to read as the book :-).

The Invention of ISOTYPE: How a Vintage Visual Language Paved the Way for the Infographics Age

In the 1930s, Austrian sociologist, philosopher, and curator Otto Neurath (December 10, 1882-December 22, 1945) and his not-yet-wife Marie pioneered ISOTYPE - the International System Of TYpographic Picture Education, a new visual language for capturing quantitative information in pictograms, sparking the golden age of infographics in print.
