This is User Experience redefined! That would be my favorite coffee table. I love it!

Working Together: A Personality-Centered Approach to Management, Second Edition

SIS — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 00:35:41 GMT

Great book on personality types at work (including "at work" in the literal sense, meaning in the workplace).
Why people are different and how can we leverage their strengths instead of lamenting and wasting time on weaknesses and "corrective action"?

Great read! Great reference for anybody working in a team.

Illuminated Books online

SIS — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 00:24:53 GMT

Quoted: The Illuminated Books Project is a collection of illuminated and illustrated books from private libraries fully presented in their integrity and in reasonably high resolution.

I came across this site and I thought it was neat for those interested in "Illuminated" books.

Webaroo - How It Works

SIS — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 08:27:56 GMT

This made me think at first 'how cool is that'! On a second thought, I'm telling myself 'I wish I knew in advance what I'd need to search for when I'm offline'.

Although I can see its usefulness for somebody who's really addicted to certain sites and might want to check out what's new on the bus, for instance, when there's time, but no Internet connection. So yeah, not that bad.

Great website on resources about information visualization.

Quoted: Information visualization can be defined as: "the use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition" (Card, Mackinlay, & Shneiderman, 1999).

Damen - Digital Photo-Realist Artist

SIS — Sun, 09 Apr 2006 20:23:03 GMT

Incredibly nice work in Photoshop. Take a look for a state of awe. However, don't attempt unless you are an accomplished artist and a super-master of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Also, I couldn't think of a better item for a Photoshop advertising campaign, than this guy's work samples.
