    Users demand use­ful con­tent struc­ture…

    ARTS & FARCES helps you fig­ure out what infor­ma­tion your users want, how they expect it to be orga­nized, and how they expect it to be labeled. All while meet­ing your core objec­tives. We’ll con­struct a blue­print of your web­site — form, func­tion, inter­face, inter­ac­tion, nav­i­ga­tion structure(s), and metaphor(s).

    Your web­site must be emi­nent­ly usable…

    Users shouldn’t require spe­cial­ized train­ing to use your web­site. Information should be pre­sent­ed clear­ly and con­cise­ly; the cor­rect nav­i­ga­tion choic­es should be obvi­ous; and the con­se­quences of any action should be unam­bigu­ous. ARTS & FARCES tests the four tra­di­tion­al aspects of usabil­i­ty: Performance, accu­ra­cy, recall, and emo­tion­al response.

    Minnebar Seven notes

    Since 2006, MinneBar is the Minnesota answer to the BarCamp (un)conference move­ment. Participant-led and with a struc­ture that is loose but any­thing but wob­bly, there are no keynote speak­ers or for­mal pre­sen­ta­tions. The annu­al event is free and believed to be the largest BarCamp (un)conference in North America. These are my ses­sion notes from the sev­enth MinneBar held at Best Buy’s cor­po­rate head­quar­ters in the spring of 2012.

    Lefsetz on the 50<sup class=“ordinal”>th</sup> anniversary of Workingman’s Dead

    A short while ago, I cued up the Grateful Dead’s Europe ’72, took a hefty snort of gin­ger ale chased with some pep­per­mint, and dove into what I thought was going to be Bob Lefsetz’s take­down of Workingman’s Dead.…
