Comment on Visceral design in our bathroom by Levi

Hi Carmellia, thanks for visiting my blog! Regarding your question, all I can tell you for sure is that there's a strong cultural influence here. Another example is the color associated with death: in western cultures it is often black, while in some asian cultures it is white. Don Norman defines those cultural conventions as occurring at the reflective level of our mind. He says (Emotional Design, p. 87):

These questions are all cultural. There is nothing practical, nothing biological, about the answers. The answers are conventions, learned in whatever society you inhabit. For some of you, the answers will be obvious; for others, the questions will not even make sense. That is the essence of reflective design: it is all in the mind of the beholder.

Just happened to pass by your blog…I can certainly tell which is yours and your wife’s…but why is that? I mean, why is pink stereotypically associated with women and not men? hmmmm…

Comment on Listening to myself? by Levi

Oi, Raquel! O Blip.fm fez algo que realmente não recordo ter solicitado: enviou convites para todos na minha lista de contatos. Pelo contrário, lembro sim de ter desmarcado todos os meus contatos. Pelo visto o problema não foi só comigo, o que prova que a experiência de uso que o serviço oferece (tenha sido intencionalmente projetada ou não) constrange o usuário logo de início :-\

Estou tentando entender isso que vc mandou pra mim. Parece que eu gostei.

Você ouviu vc mesmo, mas eu não consegui dar “props” pra mim mesma.(podiam tirar o botão, pô)

Eu tive uma experiência semelhante no orkut, quando me indicaram para mim mesma como uma sugestão de amiga, na conta do email antigo que eu cancelei…. demorei um tempo pra cair a ficha.

Olá, Richard!

Obrigado pela visita e pela tradução da tirinha do Dilbert :) Fiquei muito curioso pelo seu trabalho na definição de padrões de usabilidade para TV Digital. Você estará no IHC’08 em Porto Alegre?

Abraços!
