Magic Happens (If You Want It!)

My mother was an elementary school teacher. She was pretty cool, and I can remember the devotion she had for her work. She often said that it was not a job, but a privilege. Somehow I always thought that she was just trying to sell me what she was doing. Well, I have never been […]

Your service sucks, and why you should care

My two sons have been taking swimming classes all winter. It’s an interesting experience, at least in Italy. Swimming pools have not been designed to be usable. That’s the reality of things. A while ago I wrote this: “I think that one of the biggest problems in this country is that every product or service […]

A tale of wasted talents

I have been deeply immersed in service and experience design with big companies for at least the last ten years. It has been a very exciting journey with the usual highs and lows, and I have been playing both the client and supplier role in different occasions. I had a big opportunity to work on […]

Innovation In Cooking Pans

Just think about innovation. If we look at the definition of innovation on Merriam-Webster online dictionary, here is what we get: : the introduction of something new. : a new idea, method, or device. It’s quite simple, isn’t it. Somehow when we think about innovation we always think to some scientist working in his lab […]

3 Web Cube

The 3 Web Cube was the last product developed by my team before I left H3G to join frog design. I think it is one of the best product we ever designed, even if it had a troubled birth, somehow. From a technical point of view it is nothing else that a MiFi device; a […]

UXCon 2010 – Corporate User Experience

It is definitely a fantastic event if you are into User Experience. If you are not into User Experience that conference […]

Tonchidot’s Sekai Camera iPhone Application

Sometimes I happen to miss something relevant. This is a fantastic concept and application. Something I would like to investigate for the future of mobile applications.

Widenoise. Noise made social.

A few months ago I was intrigued by the concept of spime. What is a spime? In simple words a spime is an object that is aware of his position, is able to collect data from the physical world (e.g. CO2 level, noise, etc), has some sort of memory to store read data, and communication […]

Google To Enter The Browser Market With Google Chrome.

On September 1st Google annouced the forthcoming release of Google Chrome, an open source web browser that is going to compete in an already overpopulated market. Apart from the considerations about this move from Google that has been already deeply discussed on the web, I was amused by a collateral initiative launched by Google to […]
