Skinning Jakob Nielsen

— Deadpan at the prospect of attending a Jakob Nielsen training event.”

I’m waiting to hear whether I’ll be going to the Norman Nielsen Group‘s User Experience 2005 Conference in some hotel in London.

There’s no-one quite like egg-shaped uberuser Jakob Nielsen for getting web designers’ backs up. I was amazed to find parody resources on Nielsen from some browned off bods out there.

This is far and away the winner for me, though. What a Winamp skin designed by the venerable user-too-friendly Nielsen might look like:

“Text is too small” – Nielsen

Thanks to Kottke.org for that one!

Who’s got the Christmas cheer, then?

It’s Christmas! So let the web designers deck your website with boughs of holly. And tinsel and baubles.

The GUI to top all GUIs?

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion

Dopeology.org

Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.

I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
