LINK : Your App Makes me Fat

I know, I know. I’ve been doing a lot of super short posts lately. You think you’d be grateful, given the critworthy walls of text I usually treat you to.

Well, this time, I’ll let someone else do the critting.

SeriousPony writes, “Your app makes me fat” and I recommend that all of you read it.

Most of you, I recommend because the message of “willpower and cognitive processing draw from the same pool of resources” will resonate pretty deeply. Regardless of whether that resonance is because you often feel too drained to write or paint or create (or heck, play with your kids) OR because you keep cheating on your diet or resolutions, despite having the very firmest of willpower in the morning.

A few of you will also appreciate the implications for UX design.

There’s at least one of you who will appreciate the fact that most of the website is dedicated to Icelandic ponies. (you know who you are)

Pretty much all of you will like the name “SeriousPony” and the fact that the blog post is illustrated with cartoons and pictures of puppies.

That last is an assumption, but don’t disabuse me of the notion that the entire planet loves puppies.

Go forth! Read! Discuss over here, since they have comments closed over there.

*waves her hands at her not-moving-very-fast progress widget in the sidebar* Personally? I agree. The question for me is how I’m going to utilize that information.
