Stuff that’s been floating around the office – September 2009
1. Service Design Tools: An open collection of communication tools for complex design processes.
2. Personas: A project from MIT, which mines data from around the interwebs to analyse what sort of personality you are. It decided that I like movies and music equally, which is actually true, if a very narrow description of my myriad interests. James was apparently arrested for felony in 1871, which seeing as how he didn’t exist then is rather amusing. Or he had an evil brother in the1800′s. I like the way they explain the logic behind the project though: “It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world where digital histories are as important, if not more important, than oral histories, and computational methods of condensing our digital traces are largely opaque and socially ignorant.”
