I received a product-pushing email from Amazon yesterday – normally I just delete them, but this time something caught my eye and I clicked. Well, all I can say is “WOW”. Check out the Eye-Fi, its a wireless 2GB SD card. Stick it in your camera like any other SD card and take pictures – then go home and switch your camera on and it magically (and automatically) uploads your pics to your computer or your web photo service of your choice! Just how the hell did they cram 2GB of memory and a wi-fi transceiver into something that small?

Hi. My name is Richard, and I have a problem – i’m a serial diagramist (yes, yes, I know its not a real word). I just can’t help it – I read or talk about something and my brain just starts to draw a diagram of how the parts fit together!
Anyway – here is the latest, its been brewing for a few months since I read PeterMe’s post “Noodling on experience” and recent discussions about “context” at the 2008 IA Summit caused me to dig it out again and finish it.
Its a framework for the different aspects that make up the context of a user experience (8 aspects grouped into 4 groups). I think its useful – but I can’t quite put my finger on how, so I thought i’d throw it out there and see if it knocked anything loose.
