Imagineer, would-be Rock-Star; Early Adopter and Technology 2.0 dude.
Greetings! My site is an attempt to group together the twitsam and websam I have wantonly discarded around the internet ever since it materialised.
Please browse around, and if you shoot off into cyberspace somewhere in the process, don't be alarmed: I'll catch you at the other end.
Imaginative and passionate, I'm involved in all things creative and have a habit of challenging the inefficient and ineffective to find a better way. You can find out more about me.

Such elegance in language :)

blackberry, humour, iphone in humour Friday, May 29, 2009 at 10:36PM Tweet A bunch of not-so-endearing nicknames I have for the hideous horrendous mobile computing device I have been given for work - otherwise known as a blackberry. I would never ever buy one of these terrible things.
They are very popular in business - and sadly that usually means the people who buy them are not the people who use them. Sadly this means that usability appears to have taken a back seat. Such simple errors of usability still about on these appalling devices.
For example, there are two "convenience" keys on the side of the device. These are right where I have have to grip it when using it as a phone (for which, incidentally, it is a terrible form factor). So, inevitably these keys are always getting pressed when i try to hold it like a phone.
Whereas other manufacturers have learned to make the most of their keyboard real-estate with multi-function context keys (the ones that change function as you navigate through the menus - usually two just underneath the screen) - the blackberry designers felt it unecessary to provide such convenience to us business users. Instead practically every single function has to be accessed by first pressing a single menu button to pull up the list of functions and options - sometimes as much as 3 screens long! It's so tedious it's untrue.
And don't even mention all that wasted real estate on the main front screen....
so, some nicknames - feel free to suggest more:
