The team is supposed to start with the problem and ask “Why?” seven times to determine the root cause of the problem. Why was the hole in the wrong place? Because it was drilled in the wrong place.

What if Google ads were replaced with inspirational words? It’s happening to me.
What if when you visited an ad-supported website, you were shown the Holstee Manifesto? Back in December I saw an ad for Holstee. For the first time ever, I clicked (and ended up buying inspiring notecards printed on 50% elephant poo). Since that fine day, Holstee has been stalking me. And I love it. I read [...]

We value your opinion
I used to work for a very large survey company. They conduct phone surveys, mail surveys, in-person surveys, and they gather data automatically using various gadgets, apps, and plug-ins.

Linking Mobile Web & Native App Experiences
It’s often said that the power of the Web lies in the links that enable connections between people, places, and things. At first glance, those same links don’t seem to work with native mobile applications. But mobile Web and app experiences can be connected -it just takes a bit more work. “Links don’t open apps.”…

Which Git Workflow is Best? Mine of Course.
Git is the rage, we are all rushing to move over to it. But there is a critical problem, git allows for almost any workflow imaginable. I mean, I can use a straight svn style workflow with a master (similar to svn trunk) branch and have development or release branches from that. I can implement the rather common nvie…

Collecting Payment Information Within a Single Input
For years the advice for mobile designers has been to avoid text input. Screens are small, fingers are imprecise, and so errors happen. But at the same time mobile devices are always with us, always on, and always connected. So instead of trying to limit input we should be encouraging it and taking steps to ensure…
