Please Don't Touch [Remastered] - Steve Hackett

The bible for usability (Don't Make Me Think! - Steve Krug)

Advantages: Full of seemingly obvious pointers
Disadvantages: Steve Krug isn't in my team

Don't Make Me Think! - Steve Krug is sub-titled "A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability", but it's much more than that. The principals can be applied to many other areas where you expect s 'user' to be able to use something. So, if you are interested in User Interfaces, whether website, computer program or even beyond that into the tactile world of devices, then this book is a must-read for you. If you actually design Websites and/or User Interfaces and you *haven't* read this book, then WHY NOT? Steve Krug is a legend in operability and once you've gone through this book you will understand why. It's a practical, no nonsense guide to what you should and shouldn't do to make it easy for visitors to your site. Written in a very matter-of-fact manner, it is an easy and quick read. I found it hard to put down and learned a lot from ...

Review of Don't Make Me Think!: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability - Steve Krug

One More Nail In Your Coffin Dear

Advantages: A Great Bit of Prog Rock History
Disadvantages: It is very definitley Prog Rock

do what they were told. Anyway upon leaving Genesis he first recorded "Please Don't Touch" in 1978, and with the touring line up he assembled went onto record this album "Spectral Moorings" in 1979. This album is quite an eclectic mixture of songs like most of his solo albums and is definitely rooted in British prog rock, which for an old punk like me is heresy to admit to liking let alone loving, but then does one really care? One writer even commented that "a trip around the world from Brighton pier to Hong Kong Harbor" which is indeed a fairly accurate description. On the album we have referenced to English literature with "The Virgin and The Gypsy" taking the title from the book by D H Laurence which he deliberately did not read until he finished the lyrics, this is takes influences from classical and more prominently folk music ...

Review of Spectral Mornings [Remastered] - Steve Hackett

Please don't bother looking in the basement!

Advantages: DVD makes a great coaster.

The big red button phenomenon Throughout your life, I am sure that you have had a moment when you know you should not do something, but you really want to. Like in the film's, when there is a big red button with 'don't push' written beside it. Try as you might, you cannot resist the urge to press it. Well, in my life this phenomenon has led me to grow my collection of films to include several movies from the 'video nasty' genre. Generally these films are terrible, and there should be no reason for you to want to watch them. However, there is something niggling me, right at the back of my otherwise empty head. Why was it banned? What is the reason why this film was initially not put up for public release? Occasionally a real cracker comes up, like the scarily gory 'Cannibal Holocaust', or possibly the most disturbing film in ...
