There’s a better-looking app for that

“The biggest temptation is to cram too much onto one screen. The designer’s job is to be an editor, to only include what’s most meaningful in each context. This will help people quickly identify what value the app provides and it will be a more seamless experience." 

– Scott Raymond, Gowalla.

Why does our government seem so frakkin stupid?

A well thought out piece on why the Indonesian government is hell bent on pushing through the decisions that it has set out to do. Two examples are:

  • Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring’s crusade against porn on the internet to the point where he’s threatening to block BlackBerry services unless RIM filters out access to pornography from its channels.
  • Religon Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali’s war against the Ahmadis, an officially unrecognized Islamic sect declared to be illegal due to difference in teachings from the widely accepted variety of Islam in Indonesia.

Both ministers and everything they stand for are highly unpopular among the opinionated, critical and well informed group. Unfortunately, this group isn’t strong enough to force a change yet.

These decisions are being made because human and individual rights as well as supposed common sense are largely irrelevant or inconsequential to the rest of the people who just wish that these things were never brought up in the first place.
