BumpTop 3D Desktop

An interesting look at alternate desktop UI. Really cool stuff and neat that it uses the cartwheel menu which has been shown to be much easier usability.

However restricted document icons make this concept limited. When it is used with photos or other visually discernable files it is a lot more powerful. This ties in interestingly to a presentation a few years back from a guy at PARC who was looking at document represntation on your computer.
Combined this would make for an awesome interface.

Will Flex 2 be released tomorrow?

flexcoders : Message: Flex 2 - Release Date & Pricing

*edit*
I think it now looks likely, an Adobe blog I found after posting this suggested the release was this week and a quick recheck now has the Adobe blogs buzzing with Flex release rumours.
Cynical old me just didn't believe it could be true.
*edit*

Somehow I doubt it... there seems to be very little noise generally on Flex 2. That said it may be the lull before the storm as everyone is heads down trying to get it ready for release.

A final release would be great though.

Pretty please Adobe.

MoodLogic and Emotive software

MoodLogic

I have looked at emotive software before, especially when working in the library domain. Emotive software is software that reflects or reacts to emotion, so in the case of a library, how you feel would effect the type of book you would want to read.

In finance things are a little different, but whether we like it or not we still make decisions based on our emotions. Plus money can be a very emotive subject, especially when we don't have enough of it.

Brands can also be emotive, it is often hard explain why we show preference to one brand over another but it can be the defining factor when two items are otherwise indistinguishable.

So can you harness the emotive strength of a brand and also find a way to engage customers to help them deal with the negative emotions of debt?
