Decluttering
Foliage has sprung up across Firefox. I burn it here:
- 10 lessons in bootstrapping from the founders of UrbanSpoon;
- ViaPost looks interesting: redefining the whole of the postal service as "the thing that sits behind a printer driver" tickles and terrifies me equally;
- Control/capability charts on Kanban: interesting, I think, though I'm finding that for me personally the challenge is not in gathering and visualising data, but in working out what to do with it;
- Six questions with Jack Schulze, who I suspect is so Ri it hurts. It feels a bit hypocritical to blog it, but I found myself nodding furiously to his advice that "talking about your work does not directly improve the actual quality of your work";
- Harrowing board games;
- Karl on Kanban, flow and cadence;
- The iPhone home screen can't scale, apparently. Personally I suspect that uptake of applications on this device has something to do with the fact that they're *not* hidden at the bottom of a folder hierarchy - and if users are anything like me, they sometimes disable or delete apps they've once purchased, so the assertion that they need to easily navigate 40+ is balls. Flat home screen is a feature, not bug, IMHO;
- Transitions on Nokia, if nothing else a nice guide to where and how to use these wee beasties;
- 10 things I have learned by Milton Glaser. Number 1 seems to have unpleasant implications for me;
- Why text messages are limited to 160 characters - a bit o'history;
