World Usability Day | November 3

World Usability Day | Making it Easy!

Hey its world usability day!

hat do a rail line and trucking company have in common? According to an article in the October 28 St. Louis Dispach by David Sheets they are both examples of businesses faced costly lessons due to a lack of usability."It’s a broad term but one we must consider more carefully to survive the technology-intensive 21st century."

Local experts Charlotte Schwendeman and Jeff Lash are quoted in the article with examples of how they incorporate usability into their professional work. Two local professors, Maggie Jiao Ma and Jerry Weinberg talk about how they teach their computer science students to look at a software design problem from the users' perspective.

Some of the quotes echo mantras of usability experts around the world:

“What is really important to know is that an application can be user-friendly but still not usable. Being usable means that a product was designed for a specific population of users and that the designers took into consideration the way these users work or play.” - Jerry Weinberg

“One misconception is that accessibility is only important for special-needs users. If applied properly, accessibility can benefit everyone.” - Jeff Lash

“This is not to say the look and feel of a product are unimportant. But, rather, if you don’t start with and get the bottom 60 percent right, you’ll never get the top 40 percent right.” - Charlotte Schwendeman

MOCA Geffen and Ecstasy

For calling a show Ecstasy one might think it might have something to do with the ecstatic joy felt when taking MDMA. This show at MOCA downtown has more to do with mushrooms and LSD. Not that there's anything wrong with mushrooms but call the damn show Psilocybin then, thanks.

The Blood Arm, The Adored, The Tints at Little Pedro’s.

Need proof that L.A.’s rock scene is just as vital and gush-worthy as
New York’s? Look no further than the stellar slew of locals celebrating
the reopening of one of our favorite downtown party spots. The Tints may
be rock & roll offspring (drummer Clara is Red Hot Chili Pepper Flea’s
daughter), but don’t expect any funk-punk spice from these Malibu kewpie
dolls: They spew unadulterated sweet-and-sour power pop (think the Slits
meets the Bangles). The Blood Arm have parlayed local buzz into opening
slots with the Killers and Franz Ferdinand, and no wonder, their
seductive jangle and brooding hooks are just as contagious. Ditto the
Adored (now on V2), who bring their charmed Buzzcocks-basted dance beats
to the party, which will also include punk royal Keith Morris and "Move
Your Feet" fella Senior (of Junior Senior) on the decks. 901 E. First
St., dwntwn. (213) 687-3766. (Lina Lecaro)

Feb 10 thursday show

Fresh from Guided By Voices¹ farewell tour that ended in Chicago December 31, lead guitarist Doug Gillard has put together a hot backing band to play his first solo concert in support of his debut solo album, Salamander‹the universally praised first release on new Big Takeover Magazine imprint Pink Frost Records, distributed exclusively by Red Eye. (See appropriate attached new frothing press; Salamander was selected by the editors of Amazon.com for their coveted list of the "Top 10 Alternative Rock LPs of 2004.") The special concert takes place in Los Angeles February 10, headlining the grand finale show of the DIY festival, and the second as part of Austin, TX¹s SXSW festival. He will be joined for just this occasion by old Cleveland friend, bassist Tony Maimone (ex-Pere Ubu, Bob Mould, They Might Be Giants, Friction, etc.), and fellow GBV drummer Kevin March (ex-Dambuilders) on drums.

The gig, the focal point of the D.I.Y. Festival dedicated to "Do It Yourself in Film, Music & Books," will take place Thursday Feb 10th at the Ex Plex club under the Echo nightclub (1822 W Sunset Blvd near Lemoyne in Los Angeles, 90026 - (213) 413-8200). It will feature Gillard headlining after the three winners of the DIY Music Festival competition from thousands of entries, Team Tomato of Chesterfield, MO (winners of the DIY Album of the Year award); Fredalba (an L.A. band that's DIY songwriters of the year); and Amilia K. Spicer, DIY song of the year winner (for her "Seamless"). The ticket price at the door will be $12. The venue is 21 and over, and Gillard, Maimone, and March should appear soon after 9 p.m. (The Mountain Goats are playing upstairs the same night, so it sounds like a great place to be)

"Sometimes Beauty, Sometimes Function"
Curated by Maile Colbert

An evening of film and video depicting different perceptions and meditations on structures, the spaces within them, how these spaces are used, and what is left behind. Often, there is an unnoticed intimate interaction with the spaces in which we surround ourselves. We take our structures for granted, only to perhaps revisit them someday and be filled with a sense of indefinable nostalgia. Moments leave scars upon these walls.

OK, this is outta hand people, c'mon its a cartoon character. Who cares? What was Big Bird? Ernie and Bert? Wow, maybe they are all gay and we are living in a big gay world and its me, I never saw it. Wow, my eyes have been opened.

Luckily, the LA G/L Center has stepped in to save Sponge Bob should he get kicked out of his right wing home...

Road Trip on an East side bar crawl with designated driver

Rand McNally - Plan A Road Trip: ""



This is great, I put together a list of bars I want to go to perhaps in teh same night with a designated driver in east LA area included a couple stops in downtown. I have been to Big Foot and Gauntlet but the other, not yet!

Using this mapping service is so helpful in LA. I'd like to create a mapping app from a content listing like digitalcity. Anyone listening?
Let's make some money.
