Bucket of Awesome http://bucketofawesome.com Fri, 09 Dec 2011 07:27:13 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 I’m Back. http://bucketofawesome.com/2011/12/09/im-back/ http://bucketofawesome.com/2011/12/09/im-back/#comments Fri, 09 Dec 2011 06:51:51 +0000 tyler http://bucketofawesome.com/?p=6 I’ve got too much learning going on in my head right now not to do something with it, so I’ve brought the bucket of awesome back from the dead. Just a quick rundown so you don’t get any crazy thoughts in your head:

I’m a designer, a frontend-developer work-in-progress, working on a bad-ass ruby app called OrgSync. I’m gonna be writing about the things I come across in UI/UX and design as well as the bits of code I happen upon that make my day. My code is laughed at by developers routinely, but that’s OK, its a work in progress right? I plan to touch on the designer tools like UX/UI, CSS, SASS (which if you aren’t using you should be), HTML5, Javascript and possibly dive into the areas of Ruby and/or Rails a designer might see. In the meantime, I leave you with this tidbit that I’ve had stuck in my head all day today :

Hick’s Law is a design principle that states: “The time it takes to make a decision increases as the number of alternatives increases.”

Translation: more choices = more anxiety. Less choices = more control. At least in the mind of the user.

So, I’ll see you around. Stay classy San Diego.
