traffic
Wooooosh, seems my youtube video goodness has been gettin a wee bit of traffic off the Windows XP on an Intel Mac story lately. Someone did it, they actually got Windows XP to boot on the intel Imac. Their video was posted to youtube and well my imac switch video action was up there as well, so i caught a wee bit of traffic off that interest. Not bad for just screwin around really. I'll be putting together another bit feature this weekend about the mac experience thus far.
Goin the way back machine I picked up this story on boingboing.net talking about 70's computer promo photographs. I actually remember my father giving me tons of punch cards from OSU. We had them all over the house. My father would use them as ToDo lists on saturday mornings. The punch cards were always in Moms kitchen drawer for quick and easy access to jot down notes. We had shoe boxes of these things. Funny.. memories...
I tried last weekend to find a bookstore in town that had Bruce Sterling's Shaping Things book. I keep seeing that referenced in various web 2.0 blog postings. I feel compelled to read it.
I'm reading bloglines right now.. reading...? glancing? grazing.... whatever you wanna call it, yes I have alot to catch up on.
I just wrapped up a bit of research work yesterday.. soo happy to do be done with it. I hate "extensive yet small topline" reports. A true topline is six bullet points on a page. My topline "report"... was 31 pages long. But thats what you get when you wanna ask a thousand questions. No matter what you WANT to do, you still have to DO what yer client wants you to do, despite yer eagerness for them not to do what you think they'll do, odds are in the end, you have to adapt to their needs. So I did that, and then i got a groovy idea on how to get even more goodness out of the topline and then, as bearer of the neat idea, thoust be the doer of such activity.
In the end it was good. I presented it well I think although a glass of water would of been darn handy. I'm rather animated when it comes to presenting. I used to get beat red too, thats kinda gone, though i still attempt to read people and talk at the same time, always checking to see if what im saying is actually impacting people. But I deliver my presentations in a real upbeat honest kind of way and I think that translates well.
The best thing about research is that you are projecting the customers voice, you didnt make this shit up. People didnt like it, they told you, you analyzed it, and now yer passin the vibe along to the client. Sure they could get mad at you.. but hey, umm these are people that either bought yer dealio or didnt. I always feel bullet proof when it comes to that. People matter, simple as that. They are always in the researchers pocket.
