@daveixd Well, except for the menus on the way to the primary interface… Damn. #
@daveixd I'm trying to think of an app with no physical cues (it's hard, actually). Bloom comes to mind… #
@togaranko the article makes a good point. I was in a meeting just yesterday that underscored this… #
@daveixd That's beautiful. Pure function. Makes me wonder could we do pure function in an app, or are we always referencing physical forms? #
@daveixd Dieter is a modernist i.e. wouldn't use skeuomorphic forms (gauges under glass, toggle, etc). This is more postmodern (even kitsch) #

@genemoy agreed and well put! #
@genemoy I tend to use "design research, design analysis & design synthesis" Those have their problems too. I just think they are simpler. #
@genemoy …I just think sometimes the terms make the ideas and practices less approachable for those who aren't acquainted with them. #
@genemoy I respect the scholarly work that the term (and its analogs) represent. They've formed most of my career… #
@genemoy "Do not be tempted to use a twenty-dollar word when there is a ten-center handy, ready and able." – Strunk & White #
@genemoy it just strikes me as an odd construction for a word… overly formal and a bit esoteric. #
@genemoy but it needs a brand makeover. It's hard to use it with a straight face. It sounds like something Yoda would say. #
Interesting! RT @genemoy: Deloitte’s Carmen Medina on the Importance of Sensemaking http://t.co/RjZU4slg #
@aprilstarr I dunno… A 10% discount on comics for women does create a very specific demographic slice. #
