“Let us pause and savor the five-hundred-and-forty-degree rhetorical triple gainer taken in those few sentences: (1) the idea that diet involves sacrifice is a myth; (2) all diets, to be sure, say that on their diets dieting without sacrifice is not a myth; (3) but you believe that dieting without sacrifice is a myth; (4) and I, too, believed that dieting without sacrifice is a myth; (5) because in fact on all diets dieting without sacrifice is a myth; (6) except on my diet, where dieting without sacrifice is not a myth.”

validation isn't everything

nikography:

to demonstrate, i’ll walk you through an example. let’s say you’re working on a video site and there is a section consisting of a list of episodes. they are displayed in list form, with a thumbnail and the title of the video as linked text. (sound familiar?)

by w3c standards, all of those little thumbnails ought to have alternate text. the validator-botgod says so. well, what exactly should the text be?

What’s wrong with descriptive text that describes what the image is: “Thumbnail of Video Title”?

However, the latest spec suggests an empty alt tag.

Always tomorrow. Always not now maybe sometime next evening. Busy distractions sawt between the lines sending busy signals out. But minds eye knows that won’t work through and through it does take sweat. Piss.

“This design does not boost any of the content. If I’ve done well, it fades into the background and lets the content take over.”

- Daily Meh: Designer Blogs

Design should caress and enmesh with meaningful dialog. It should enhance as the lace hinting at nipple. It should surprise as the shiny upon Christmas morn. It should hug as the little black dress. It should heighten consumption as the musky used book smell.

Design serves the master of content. Not the other way around.

“Based on her observation of groups of different ages, Turkle has found that “children and the elderly start to relate to the object as a person. They begin to love it, and nurture it, and feel they have to attend to the robot’s inner state.” With this attachment and projection of their emotions, Turkle says, people begin to seek reciprocity, wanting the robot to care for them. “We were wired through evolution to feel that when something looks us in the eye, then someone is at home in it.””
