The User Experience Scrapbook

What about it?

The User Experience Scrapbook is a Tumblelog created, concieved, and maintained by Alberto González, an User Experience developer and designer working for Schematic, an interactive media agency, and living in San José, Costa Rica.

What's the deal?

I come across many useful and interesting links related to my job every day. There are so many bits and pieces of useful user experience-related information around and so little time to gather them all, let alone review them. Tumblr has made possible to publish posts featuring anything in record time, and so this becomes a good way to keep this useful information at hand and out of oblivion. It also works as a modest soapbox for my UX thoughts from time to time. I hope it is from your interest too.

Love it! Any other good sites to see?

Sure, try these (in no particular order other than alphabetical):

Edward Tufte on Interface Design and the iPhone: Comparing the iPhone’s GUI to that of his earlier touchscreen interface concepts, “high-resolution touch-screens; minimizing computer admin debris; spatial distribution of information rather than temporal stacking; complete integration of text, images, and live video; a flat non-hierarchical interface; and replacing spacious icons with tight words. The metaphor for the interface is the information. Thus the iPhone got it mostly right.”
