Big Web Show No. 59: Mike Monteiro on art & design
MULE DESIGN DIRECTOR, conceptual artist, author, and Twitter provocateur Mike Monteiro and I discuss design vs. fine art, using constraints to produce artwork, his new book, working with (not necessarily pleasing) clients, whether great comedians work blue, and much more in Episode 59 of THE BIG WEB SHOW.

Everything I know about interaction design, I learned from my cats.
CATS CAN'T TALK, but it turns out they are great interaction designers.
I've been laid up with a hernia and bronchitis and I've let a few chores go. Such as prompt daily cleaning of the litter box shared by my cats, Snow White and Giovanni.
This morning they found a way to catapult the litter box rake right into the box. Handle first, mind you — leaving the part I touch three inches deep in the very filth I'd neglected to clean. Punishment as well as instruction.
I can play scales; my cats cannot. I can spend time with Gandalf and Oliver Twist; my cats cannot. On those scales I am the superior being.
But I would give ten years and a pinky to create interfaces that are half as clear as the one my cats designed for me this morning.

Say No to SOPA!
A LIST APART strongly opposes USHR 3261 AKA the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), an ill-conceived lobbyist-driven piece of legislation that is technically impossible to enforce, cripplingly burdensome to support, and would, without hyperbole, destroy the internet as we know it.
SOPA approaches the problem of content piracy with a broad brush, lights that brush on fire, and soaks the whole web in gasoline. Learn why SOPA must not pass, and find out what you can do to help stop it.
A List Apart: Articles: Say No to SOPA.
