About

This podcast/blog is about user experience. Creating a great application is one thing, but if your users don't want to use it, it's a failure.

JUXtapose - Episode 4: Microsoft Surface From Mix '08 (Part 1) Monday, April 14, 2008 |

I had an opportunity to talk with the Microsoft Surface team at Mix '08, and I left the camera on so that I could share it here.

This first video shows how the Surface device talks wirelessly with cameras and cell phones, and allows you to move content from one wireless device to another without any wires.

Introducing JUXtapose |


So I'm sure I'll be posting these everywhere, but I want my blog to at least be the starting place.

JUXtapose is the name of my new webcast series, and it will be primarily focused on the technologies I am most passionate about. This includes user interface technologies like Silverlight and WPF, as well as more general stuff like Javascript and CSS. It will also feature interviews from notable (and soon to be notable) developers in the field that have an opinion to lend on user experience.

The name JUXtapose comes from the subtitle: Jeff on User Experience.

Please leave comments, I'd love your initial thoughts on this, as well as recommendations and volunteerism for future shows.
