  • Apples and Oranges

    My second column, entitled “Apples
    and Oranges
    ,” was published over at Digital
    Web Magazine
    , while being asleep. This time around I take a shot at understanding
    the relation between the fields of usability and design and why, more often than
    not, they collide. Yup, that topic — again. Both fields are mandatory and
    I think the web at large, as well as high technology in general, will benefit
    greatly from a (better) mutual understanding. Digital Web Magazine now features
    the possibility to comment on articles, so consequently comments on this entry
    are closed, but
    speak out
    !

    This column would not have been half as good if it wasn’t for the valuable
    feedback of Donna
    Driscoll
    . Who? Yup, Donna! Remember her name because there’s a lot
    this lady has to let know — mark my words (the pressure is on!) Additionally
    you can read Donna’s
    bio
    for more background information on her professional experience. Coincidentally
    Donna is married to the Michael Moore of design, none other than my friend Andrei
    Herasimchuk. Both are currently enjoying their honeymoon on the wonderful Greek
    island of Santorini. I just came back from Greece (Crete) and I already want
    to return. Enjoy your time in Greece, both of you, you deserve it, and keep
    those superb
    photographs
    coming.
