“Some time ago, as a result of my conversations with my friend and colleague Marco van Hout, I came up with the idea of applying the cartesian model to this User Experience world of [ours]: What if we could use a north-south axis to represent the duality between the digital and the analog, and also use an east-west axis to articulate the the duality between the emotional and the rational? Once represented, we could place in this territory anything we could come up with: People, resources, disciplines, webs or products… As in ancient maps, this is a rather subjective and personal representation of the territory.”

“Without a doubt, the biggest challenge I encounter each time is in wrangling Microsoftís Internet Explorer browser. This devil does not play fair. It often follows no rules, and its behavior defies all common logic. It will double margins for no apparent reason. Borders disappear, 62 pixels magically turn into 143 pixels. It dodges left when other browsers go right. Iíve decided to call this phenomenon ‘the IE Factor.’”

“Super Bowl commercials — so what’s the big deal about them anyway? They’re just commercials. Then again, maybe they’re big, extravagant, glorious, fantastically creative spectacles of free enterprise celebrating art and commerce at their best. Well… at least a bunch of them are… So good or bad, nice or nasty, gorgeous or ugly, bland or spicy, we’ve gathered them here.”
