A curious experiment. Try it!

I'm a little curious to see what happens when we all take this test. I'll expand on it later :)


I'm INTJ. What are you?

This is cool.

In case you guys aren't familiar with TED, it stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design.
TED is a small non-profit organization that hosts two annual conferences, where they present new ideas and developments in a variety of different areas. They take the "world's most fascinating thinkers and doers" to share what they've discovered with others, creating a gathering of brilliant individuals likely to catalyze one another's minds into genius explosion ;) Ok no but really. It's pretty awesome and you should definitely check it out:

This is not quite as new as other HCI developments out there, but in terms of incorporating spatial learning into hardware,  it's one of the most successful achievements I've seen so far:

Web-design and white space

I've been researching elements of web-design and I found this article that I thought you guys might enjoy:

Welcome to the DAS blog!

This is where it all begins. DAS is all about creating. Creativity is our middle name, but technology is our first; or are they both our first? Well, we believe they are both deeply intertwined, forming a beautiful symbiosis with limitless potential.

Whether you are in DAS or not, this blog is a place for all those interested in the diverse areas it encompasses, to share the knowledge that makes them possible. We love to hear interesting ideas, whether that is in software engineering, HCI, UX, general design, gaming, fine arts, music computing, and many, many more. There's just something wonderful about meeting others who love them too.

So to begin! I wanted to share an article about DAS that was recently written by Paul Fishwick, the head of the DAS department at UF:
