Post-It Stop Motion

Here’s a cleverly designed stop motion video clip using post-it notes—or stickies as some of you know it as. I personally like the rain scene and how rain droplets fall and drip on the umbrella.

This clip is as amazing as Oren Lavie’s music video clip I posted months ago.

Google Wave

I’ve been busy crunching numbers and digesting journals in the recent weeks, so much that I didn’t have much time to open Google Wave invitation that has been sitting idle in my inbox for long. Well, today I did, after the majority of my loads are off of the list.

Google Wave’s fun factor depends on the number of friends (or family and colleagues) you have in your contact list. Only those with Google Wave account can hop on your communication wagon.

The interface design is pretty good, but it is still not intuitive enough for beginners to discover what they can do with it and how to do it. Perhaps mimicking typical email interface to something that is revolved around the complexity of Google Wave isn’t a good idea afterall.

Judging by the performance, Google Wave isn’t that great when it’s running on my Safari; It ran slower as soon as I opened Google Wave. Aside from that, there’s really nothing much to comment at this moment…

Still, Google Wave is an interesting communication concept that works pretty decent at its preview stage; It worth trying and exploring. I feel excited imagining a streamlined communication and collaboration for work and leisure. Not to mention the amount of reducible paperwork if this streamlined communication works well.

Why don’t you take Google Wave a spin yourself and see how you like it? I do still have some Google Wave preview invitations left. Drop me a line if you wanna get one.

If you know fun ways to use Google Wave, drop me a line, leave a comment below, or wave me directly.

Projects

Overview of projects that have been keeping me busy lately:

1. Human-Computer Interaction CS3240

The first project up on the list is ShuttleNet, an interactive kiosk displaying shuttle bus arrival information, route, schedule, and map. This interactive application is built using Flash from scratch with user-centered approach—gathering input from the users during design phase and continue involving them in usability tests in implementation phase.

The result? An attractive interactive system that works the way users expect it to be, effectively delivering information in a visually pleasing manner.
