“It lets users create mixels in a few minutes, casually, almost without time to let their inner inhibitions about Art-with-a-capital-A take over. That’s exactly what we were going for.”

Khoi Vinh on Mixel, a new social collage app.

During my brief stint in design school, collage was definitely one of my favorite activities. I could see this app quickly becoming one of my favorites. While I love the simplicity of its tools, I would certainly appreciate some more precise cropping features (which Khoi mentions are in progress).

If you’re on Mixel, add me as a friend and let’s make some collages!

engers: Google’s social network, Google+ is finally live.  A few key advantages over the current iteration of Facebook: Huddle - Group text chat Hangouts - Group video chat Sparks - Tips on what to share (kind of like Google Alerts made social) Circles - Better sharing controls than Facebook Groups Excited to see how this develops. I’ve always been fascinated at how little the big players like Google and Apple “get” social. They certainly have all the right ingredients. Also, the website is an absolute must see. Wonderfully executed.

Chris Messina has posted a variety of concepts for Mozilla he did for Mozilla last year — all of which are a great study in user experience. Working with the team, I produced a series of mockups and written pieces that were designed to first layout a future scenario for what I call “pop computing” — an era when computing is cheap, facile, and a part of the everyday environment.
