A really good weblog called elegant hack with topics ranging from information architecture, usability and interaction design. Check out her reviews and recommendations on books, it is very thorough and concise. Also look for her book entitled Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web to hit the shelf in December.

I found a ezine magazine called boxes and arrows that focuses on usability, information architecture, and all things pure.

Some cool images showing the inner planets, all known asteroids, and their orbital paths. There are also links for the middle and outer planets as well.

5 sample chapters from the upcoming Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, 2nd Edition from O’Reilly.

hi again! everything is going well here in glendale heights illinois. the weather is hot, humid, and really annoying. we aren’t getting enough rain and i’ve lost power twice now. once a few weeks back for 4 hours and once this morning for 5 minutes. kind of annoying, and it wasn’t even the hottest point of the day.


my brother and christina were in town this past weekend. we had a really good time. we all got together with some other friends and saw austin powers in goldmember. i actually laughed a lot in this movie. it had a ton of toilet humor but it was a refreshing change from all of the other movies in theaters right now. i was surprised to see that it made $71 million dollars in it’s first weekend. not so shabby for a shagadelic secret agent.


we also spent time shopping, talking, and got in a round of putt-putt golf. guess who won? hehehe, yea i had to put that in here. i beat em all … i was finally able to put 8 years of golf to good use. i haven’t played a real round of golf in about 4 years, how sad. maybe next season.


all in all i think they had a fun time. we weren’t able to go downtown but next time we will plan a day there instead of just trying to get down there in the evening.


i’m back on track this week, getting my workouts and food in. last week i was only able to get the food right, excluding the weekend where i didn’t do anything right. anyhow, i am on track now. i had a killer upper body workout yesterday and today i’m doing cardio when i get home from work.


lance armstrong won his 4th tour de france this past sunday. my fantasy tour team did crappy. i ended up 580th overall, talk about sad. that week off and the shitty interface they had to the game ruined my placing. who ever heard of resetting your team every night. you would think they would carry over the previous days team settings you made. no, they decided to rewrite user expectations 101. anyhow, maybe next year i can find a better fantasy site to play on. congratulations are in order for lance however.
