Fishing Rods From Carrot Sticks and Canvas Made of Concrete?! Seven Amazing Materials | Slideshows
Physical materials have been rapidly reinvented and rethought in the last year. Companies are getting smarter about the consumption of energy/materials, being able to repurpose what would have been thought of as waste as a source of energy/resources, etc..
"Behind every classic of design lies some innovation in materials or fabrication. So what materials will tomorrow's brilliant new products be made from? Material Connexion, a materials library for designers, has just unveiled its inaugural MEDIUM awards, for the best materials of the year. The grand-prize winner and the 11 honorable mentions will then be shown in January at the Material Connexion showroom in New York. Here's an exclusive sneak peek of a few of those mind-bending innovations."
Resources | slide:ology
Wow - quite the collection for those looking to improve their presentations, information design, branding, and on and on.
"Let’s face it: the majority of presentations given today, whether in business, government or academia, leave audiences cold, if not asleep. It doesn’t have to be that way."
Infragistics Quince: UX Patterns Explorer
Very interesting - Silverlight-based interface to explore various UX patterns, such as Inline validation (with 6 examples). It's really driving me crazy that more sites don't provide instant, inline validation, among other things. How about auto-lookup of city, state based on the zip code and country? (sigh) Nice collection. Well worth some exploration
Pattern Tap : Interface Collection for Design Inspiration
Why re-invent? Examine a collection of existing design patterns that others have already winnowed, and steal, er, learn from working models.
Get feedback with Backboard
Interesting hosted collaboration solution, used primarily for rapid feedback on "designer-oriented" content, such as logos, web designs, etc.. Upload comment you'd like feedback on, invite those you want feedback from, they mark it up (overlay) and/or com
Splashup
Image-editing via SaaS. Exploring the full possibilities of going "all in" for SaaS, hosted, or cloud options. Found this to be a bit buggy, but then again, I have 70 tabs open in Firefox.
ProtoShare: Collaborative Website Wireframe and Prototype Tool
Stumbled onto this solution today - so much of collaboration is about providing a generic "knowledge worker" environment, but there can easily be a need for a more specialized environement. ProtoShare is a website wireframing and prototyping tool, wrapped
Putting people first » Videos of Interaction 08 presentations now online
Huge collection of video for the presentations given at the Interaction 08 conference this year. Was looking for slide decks for some reference points, but full video is a nice surprise.
Online Communities Design Patterns » SlideShare
Well done presentation on common design patterns used in forming and fostering online communities. Good advice.
Applied Game Design
Intriguing blog by Brenda Brathwaite, a gaming legend I'm interviewing, stay tuned for the interview (currently in progress).
Putting the Fun in Functional
Keep circling back to gaming and what addictive games might bring to other interactions.
information aesthetics - data visualization & visual design
Here's a site I don't view nearly often enough. If you admire (and aspire) to understandable, and even pleasing information presentation (ala Tufte, for example), you need to go here. Now! Really!
Ask500People - World Opinion While You Watch
More prediction market (sort of) fun. Not clear to me why this should be stand-alone outside of a Facebook application - although the "mashup" of the poll respondents and their geographic location on a map is a nice twist.
A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods
Brought to my attention by Ed Gandorf at MapInfo. Interesting collection and peek into a huge array of visualization methods. Many ways to show data, strategize, paint timelines, etc.. Reminds me - if you haven't been to one of Tufte's one-day courses - g
Gamasutra - Feature - "How to Prototype a Game in Under 7 Days" Printer Friendly
Great article discussing how 4 grad students created 50 games during one semester - and each game from idea to final design in under 7 days. Lessons to be learned re: agility in the enterprise!
Designs Fit for a Prince - Roll-up bridge
Wow, this reminds me of Escher artwork, but is a real pedestrian bridge.
PublicSquare: Painless Publishing
Christina Wodtke is at work on this venture - looks interesting, come back to this and take a deeper look.

Nice collection of screenshots of "inspirational" web designs
