Take Me To Your World/I Don't Wanna Play House - Tammy Wynette

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... Read review

Advantages: unconditional love always
Disadvantages: letting go is so hard

...home, much to his occasional pained gasps as you hung on to him and purred into his ear! My efforts to remove you resulted in muffled curses and bloodshed...*g* From the time we got home though, you attached yourself to me and promptly became MY CAT! We got another kitten, a stray from the hospital, whom we called Rastus. He adored you, but you tolerated him with gentle disdain. All your affection was reserved for me. You would keep me warm at night by curling across my neck like a furry scarf on winters nights - a habit that endured until the children were born.

...Garland, but he seems to be quite a storyteller if this film can be taken as evidence. He sends these young people (and Leo DiCaprio's Richard seems very young and immature) off on an adventure in search of paradise, which they find, but soon they begin to learn that nothing in life is as it seems. The character of Richard is spectacularly irritating. He is so immature, and has no idea about real life or relationships and emotions. I think DiCaprio was a good choice to play him - Danny Boyle has famously claimed the studio went over his head to cast DiCaprio instead of his choice and regular lead actor, Ewan McGregor. I'm a huge fan of McGregor, I love him, but I don't think he would have been right in this role - DiCaprio played the right blend of innocence, naivety and arrogance for the character. I found the dialogue very stilted in... Read review
