An interesting article on brainstorming. READ WITH A GRAIN OF SALT because it is an opinion piece. Brainstorming DOES work - I have personal experience with it doing so when I worked with a multiple CLIO winning advertising team. The way that the New Yorker writer defines brainstorming is very limited; but the article does have some insight into the creative process using measurable results.

Atomic is a browser based design application allows graphic/UI designers to create work that can be viewed and manipulated from within the browser. Designers can quickly share their ideas with a link and collaborators can give feedback right inside the product. (link sent by Aaron)

In-browser design/prototyping tool that could change the way we work in the future.

Adobe makes a plug-in that allows you to see on your mobile device exactly what you're working on (as long as it's on a server - like the dev server). I've found it very handy when working on something and wondering how it will look on the iPad. The plug-in works for a myriad of devices including droid stuff. You have to use it in Google Chrome and be signed in, but it's well worth the effort. Those of you with smart phones could load the plug-in on the smart phone and iPad at the same time.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Some questions to consider as we work on the TIS brand.

scoped search tool that I will be working to integrate so that our subject specialists and instructors can generate code to include on their subject pages or course guides

A potential way to enhance IA and interaction design deliverables

Click on "Experience Apture" to see how it works...

Industrial Design website: I'm not jazzed so much about the website; but the content features several examples of truly creative solutions to everyday issues. This is the kind of work that is not the "easy solution".

Their solution for mobile catalog search works on iphones only...

YouTube clips have previously allowed for captioning, but it was a system that was a little buggy and only worked from YouTube's site. That's all changed with the advent of machine-generated captions and auto-timing.

I only read the Executive Summary but it seems relevant to our discussion of better supporting DH/DS work.

In early May of this year, I was fortunate to be able to attend the annual DataEDGE conference hosted by the University of California, Berkeley School of Information. This is a conference that focuses on developments in data science with some emphasis on work going on at Berkeley and more broadly in the Bay Area, and offers a range of presentations dealing with technical developments, workforce, and broader implications of data science. There is much here that will interest various segments of the CNI community, I thnk.

I'm not sure if this will work with our constraints, but I thought the TIS web-brainiacs could determine if this is good or unusable. From this URL---> http://www.greensock.com/gsap-js/# <--- with that files can play you source download>Fancy new download experience that includes CDN links.

A handy site on which you can view your own files in relation to the various types of color blindness. In my experience with the site, the option to view your images online is better than the option to download the plug-ins. The plug-ins kept crashing for me. But your experience may be different.

Fiddle/experiment with code and see it run live. Works with jQuery and other libraries such as MooTools- super neat.

This is a Chrome extension that will resize your browser window to the break points in the code of the current site you are viewing. Those sites without breakpoints show a blank window in the extension. Responsive Inspector is helpful to see all of the breakpoints a particular site uses. Some have several breakpoints, other sites have just a few. It's a good learning tool. It's a wee bit buggy sometimes, but it's being updated regularly. If this link does not work, just search for "Responsive Inspector" in the Chrome browser Extensions.

I'm sure we're all familiar with Wacom, but I'm not sure if everyone realizes how HUGE and IMPORTANT they are. I mention this because Wacom is not just a company that produces the little tablets we see on people's desks. They provide THE tools of choice for the movie industry, television industry, vehicle companies and huge business to business entities. The little Wacom tablet and stylus I have at home and on my desk at work are not the main streams of income for this company. I wanted to clarify this because their Branding Statement reflects the ideals of a huge, worldwide, trend-setting company that is the leader in ALL of their product categories. Here is a link to their PDF download of their Branding Statement (you may have to cut and paste the URL below): https://dfsoyk1v2p32a.cloudfront.net/us/~/media/Files/PDFs/Our%20Business/Company_brochures_EN_20131225.pdf?vs=1&amp;d=20131226T080604

Companies are letting wikis loose among employees and customers, and reaping the benefits.

Thought Jinni was interesting when it came out, but now that you can hook it up to Netflix. much fun to be had.
