Auto-tabbing is not something I have ever been supportive of but it is so frequently requested where I work that my team decided to put together a research study to get some additional insight.
The purpose of the study was to identify how auto-tabbing web form fields could support or impair different aspects of user behavior including data entry task times and error rates. A total of 707 participants navigated to a specific URL at which point they were randomly assigned to one of 2 web forms: one that made use of auto-tabbing and one that did not. Speed and accuracy were measured. Data analysis showed that auto-tabbing resulted in increased task times.
Jacques Pépin is one of my favorite people. Together with Julia Childs, well, it just doesn’t get much better. Lynn’s going to love this…especially @ 3:35
to the brave and the faithful, nothing is difficult
In the book Jennifer Government, Max Barry satirically describes the extremes of capitalism. The main character Hack Nike unwittingly agrees to assassinate kids purchasing Nike’s new line of athletic shoes as part of a stealth marketing campaign. The idea was that shooting these kids would cause a surge in demand and price would skyrocket. I suppose it’s pretty far fetched but then again…
Yesterday in Orlando, police in riot gear had to break up a crowd that was storming a foot locker to get their hands on the new Nike Foamposite One. Police…in riot gear…because people were pushing past security to get these things. And when I say “these things” here is what I am referring to:
Just look at them. Look at them! Nobody died but somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if this melee was all orchestrated. I mean come on. These are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen in my life, cost $220 and are made out of foam. FOAM! So dumb.
The Young and the Talented: Omaha’s Design Innovators
BY JESSICA CLEM-MCCLAREN
On the eve of international designer Bruce Mau’s keynote speech at this year’s Young Professional Summit, The Reader contacted almost two dozen senior designers, professional associations and organizations to find a sampling of the some of the best young design talent in Omaha.
The six designers featured here have traveled the world to become among the best in their field, from landscape architecture, graphic and website design, information engineering, architecture and urban planning. We found professionals that have constructed plazas in Europe, provided technological advances for entire industries and have dedicated their days to improving transit in Omaha. Rooted in loyalty to the Midwest, these professionals have decided to stay in Omaha to bend Midwestern stereotypes and offer residents the opportunity to experience physical beauty in design. These rising starts will continue to inspire the newest generations of creative minds to think big and make an impact.
