I don’t drink whiskey, but this ad almost made me want to. Jameson ran an ad campaign last year exclusively for NYC subways. This hyper-localized approach isn’t very common for a national (hell, international) brand, and it really impressed me. Why? Because they demonstrated “insider knowledge.” MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE THERE ARENINE WRONG WAYS TO SWIPE [Keep Reading…]
Experience Design Lessons We Can Learn from My Nail Salon
I’m a native Manhattanite and uptown girl, so it should be no surprise that I’ve been getting manicures since I was a munchkin. It isn’t only about having freshly painted nails; it’s more about taking 30 minutes every few weeks to really treat myself and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. I’ve [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Walker Tennis Balls
You’ve all seen this before: tennis balls on a walker. In fact, Google walker tennis balls and you’ll get 329,000 results. The first three: How to Make a Walker Glide Most Easily, CWI Medical’s Walker Tennis Balls, and a blog post Tennis Balls and Walker, an Ultimate User Hack.

Twitter talk at the IxDA NYC Recap of Interaction 09
Last night, IxDA NYC hosted a recap event of the Interaction 09 conference in Vancouver last month. Thanks to our lovely hosts, JPMorgan Chase, and to all of the volunteers who helped pull it together. MJ Broadbent, one of IxDA NYC’s fabulous local leaders, asked if I would be willing to talk about how Twitter [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Brick wall behind glass
Last year I was going somewhere on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when I passed the Paul Saini Deli on 95th Street and Columbus. In the first window were several shelves filled with an array of grocery products, pretty typical. But as I kept walking I saw there was a second window — and [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Calorie Counts at Dunkin Donuts
Sometimes regulations are evil. On April 30, 2008, NYC passed a law requiring fast food restaurants to very visibly post calorie counts on their menus. Unfortunately for me, that meant finding out that my favorite doughnut at Dunkin Donuts, the Boston Kreme, is the most caloric of them all. Oh how I hate you Mayor [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: At the MIT Bookstore
Okay, so photos of the day. While I was at UIE’s UI13 conference in October, I took a gander through the MIT bookstore. When I stumbled upon these two geeky tees, I couldn’t help but snap a pic while no one was looking. I went to Carnegie Mellon a.k.a. Nerds ‘R’ Us and even we [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Please don’t touch, lick, stroke or mount the exhibits
It’s Saturday, so let’s get a little risqué. Over Thanksgiving, the lovely Sharin and I took our 18-year-old friend Jason to the Museum of Sex (what else does one do with an 18-year-old boy?). I snapped a pic of this sign hung prominently near the entrance and posted it to Flickr. Somehow someone found it, [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Don’t Lose Your Shirt
Okay, so times are tough. Maybe you should think about saving your cash. Instead of going out tonight, stay at home and play with your money without spending a dime. Over brunch with Orian one day, I made a ring from a dollar bill similar to this one. I learned how to do it back [Keep Reading…]
Twitter finally integrates Twitter Search a.k.a. Summize
In July I mentioned that Twitter bought Summize, a search engine that indexes tweets, and redirected the site to http://search.twitter.com. Now finally, almost 8 months later, Twitter Search is fully integrated into the Twitter top nav. A search box is now globally accessible and the top 10 trending topics are displayed in a dropdown. In [Keep Reading…]
