Good UI Design: Make It Easy, Show Me You Care - ReadWriteWeb When researching FuseCal this morning, one of the things that made it so appealing to try was the fact that you could just enter in a URL and see the service in action right away. No sign-up forms, no logins. This got us thinking about UI design as it applies to today's web services. Lately, it seems that less and less services are using sign-up forms...at least, they aren't requiring you to sign up right away in order to try them out. Instead, the trend seems to be to let you jump right in and get to work. This is definitely a good move, in terms of usability of the site, and it's not the only UI trend we've noticed lately. Trend #1: Try It Now! An excerpt from an upcoming book by Luke Wroblewski, "Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks," posted on A List Apart helps to point out the issue with sign-up forms on the web. Instead of forcing users through a dreadful sign-up process when really they just wanted to take a look, he promotes the idea of "gradual engagement." Twiddla's Buttons
21 Ways to Excel at Project Management | Project Smart MS Project, Lead & Lag When you set up task dependencies (task dependencies: A relationship between two linked tasks; linked by a dependency between their finish and start dates. There are four kinds of task dependencies: Finish-to-start [FS], Start-to-start [SS], Finish-to-finish [FF], and Start-to-finish [SF].), there may be some successor (successor: A task that cannot start or finish until another task starts or finishes.) tasks that can start before their predecessor (predecessor: A task that must start or finish before another task can start or finish.) tasks are finished, and other successor tasks that cannot be started until after a delay that follows the conclusion of their predecessor tasks: Lead time This is an overlap between two tasks that are linked by a dependency. For example, if a task can start when its predecessor is half finished, you can establish a finish-to-start dependency and specify a lead time of 50% for the successor task.

50 Movies That All Guys Should See Before They Die - A Modern Gu Classic movies like Bullit, Easy Rider, The French Connection, amongst others, are guy movies, but our list is a modern guide (past 20 years). The movies in this list are pretty much everything that chick flicks are not: any or all of bad ass cars, ass-kickings, kick-ass girls, scary monsters, super creeps, outrageous or immature comedy, with the occasional bit of real emotional or intellectual depth. It’s not necessarily about an award-winning film, though we’ve included lots of those. It’s about the elements of a guy movie. Some of these should be seen for the actors/ acting, some for the story, others for the cinematography or special effects, and still others for more obscure reasons that are harder to define well. Enjoy, and feel free to commend us or tell us how dumb we are for forgetting YOUR fave guy movie. Please also note that much of the content in these movies, and sometimes the video trailers, is intended for adults and might be occasionally be NSFW. 50. 49. 48. 47. 46. 9.
Finding the Shortest Path to Project Success What's the shortest possible path from project initiation to completion? You might say it depends on the size of the project or the work involved. But there's always a shorter path than the one you have in mind -- even for larger projects. There's always a solution that makes better use of resources while providing faster delivery times. Say you walked into a job interview, for example, and you were hired on the spot. So what's wrong with the way you currently manage a project from initiation to completion? Try asking these questions to help you create the space in which actions towards the shortest path will arise: What am I assuming about the project, team or requirements?

Twitter Tools, Tweaks and Theories: TypePad Hacks I have to preface this post with a confession: The first time I heard about blogging, my response was "That's the dumbest @$%#&%$ thing I've ever heard of. Why the hell would I want to do that?" I said the exact same thing about Twitter when I first heard about it. The exact same words. Of course, both times I was totally wrong… blogging and Twitter have become the two most important tools I use to make a living, socialize, and get things done. I bring this up at the beginning because I know there's a lot of people who still respond to Twitter in the way I first did and I want to put it the proper context. The thing about Twitter that makes it really powerful is it's simplicity… although it's often explained as a way of constantly updating people with what you're doing right this minute (having breakfast, yelling at the dog, stuck in traffic — yes, that's boring) it can be repurposed into so many other contexts. Some of my favorite uses for Twitter: My favorite Twitter Apps: Twitterific5.
