- Introduction to Design Studio Methodology | UX Magazine
"Design Studio is conducted in a highly interactive, fast-paced team setting following a methodology commonly used in architecture and industrial design, but with some important twists. It has been called the “Iron Chef,” of ideation. It can be intense, focused, and chaotic at times, but those lucky enough to have participated understand the power and effectiveness of this tool." - Design Studios: The Good, the Bad, and the Science | UX Booth
"Much has been written about the design studio methodology within the design community. In order to really understand how and why design studios work, though, designers must look beyond design—in particular, to social psychology and behavioral economics." - Sketchboards: Discover Better + Faster UX Solutions | Adaptive Path
"The sketchboard is a low-fi technique that makes it possible for designers to explore and evaluate a range of interaction concepts while involving both business and technology partners. Unlike the process that results from wireframe-based design, the sketchboard quickly performs iterations on many possible solutions and then singles out the best user experience to document and build upon." - Using Sketchboards to design great User Interfaces quickly | Box UK
"Essentially, the Design Studio method is a collaborative sketching workshop, where stakeholders work together to generate, evaluate and refine their designs." - Sketchboards + Prototypes
"Agile methods for better and faster UX solutions. This 3-hour workshop was presented at Agile 2008 in Toronto. Co-developed with Dan Harrelson." - Ideate Collaboratively using Design Studio | Jeff Patton

“Making Science Fiction real”
We can’t have advances in Technology any longer unless Design is integrated from the early start.
Sagt John Underkoffler, der z. B. das UI für Minority Report gebaut hat, in seinem TED-Vortrag.
Das Zeug, das er hier zeigt, soll in fünf Jahren das Standard-Interface für Computer sein. Da bin ich ja mal gespannt. Ich setz mir auf jeden Fall einen Reminder in meinen Kalender…

Android und die Menu-Taste
Das Gegenteil von gut ist gut gemeint.
I’ve been using a Nexus One for a month or so now and there is one singular annoyance that continues to frustrate – the heavy reliance on the Menu button to access critical app functionality. [...]
Turns out, this is a by-product of an evolving operating system for multiple hardware devices. While Android officially requires a touchscreen for Android devices that want to have the ability to install 3rd party apps, there isn’t much that cannot be done by navigating using hard buttons. And, if I’m not mistaken, it wasn’t until Android 2.0 that more softkey functionality was made available. [...]
My reaction to this is, yeah, that makes sense. But, every time I have to tap multiple times to get to something in that Menu area, I find it frustrating.
