Google’s Irene Au: On Design Challenges – BusinessWeek “A lot of designers want to increase the line height or padding in order to make the interface “breathe.” We deliberately don’t do that. We want to squeeze in as much information as possible above the fold. We recognize that information density is part of what makes the experience great and efficient. Our goal is to get users in and out really quickly. All our design decisions are based on that strategy.” web business design innovation google ux

Goodbye Google | stopdesign “When a company is filled with engineers, it turns to engineering to solve problems. Reduce each decision to a simple logic problem. Remove all subjectivity and just look at the data. Data in your favor? Ok, launch it. Data shows negative effects? Back to the drawing board. And that data eventually becomes a crutch for every decision, paralyzing the company and preventing it from making any daring design decisions.” business design google

    Hi Brent,

    I was redirected to your Blog by the the following link: http://plw.media.mit.edu/people/brent/course/6891/triplemint/

    I was now looking for some time for a wrapper around CWM. triplemint really seems to do what I was looking for.

    Scheme is a strange choice somehow, but on the other hand not surprising coming from the MIT.
    I learned Scheme as a educational language.
    Was triplemint a student project.

    Is there anything around that I could try out?

    I didn’t find anything on the internet.

    Thanks in Advance

    Greetings

    Martin
