really nice timelapse video

I am a huge M. Night Shyamalan fan. From Sixth Sense to Lady in the Water, I really connected and felt at home with much of what he embodied and all his films had to offer. Then came The Happening. Enough said I guess.

Since his public demise and spiral downfall of quality in filmmaking, I have searched the interwebs to find some fair piece of writing to make sense of Night’s recent career. I found this article on Venture and while I don’t read a lot of their stuff, this particular writer makes a fair case for Night. It doesn’t glorify him like his blinded fans and it refuses to just say “he sucks” which is what most people will say of Shyamalan nowadays. I think he brings up some great stuff on Shyamalan’s faulty perception of himself.

Brief History of User Interface

Great video explaining the history of computer technology and software user interface. Honestly, the best i’ve seen discussing with such simplicity the history of the computer and software movement up until today.

“optimally, the user should be thinking about what they want to do, not how to use their tools.”
