Design Critique

Colin from Canada returns to discuss his three iterations for the Design Critique  blog page redesign. Because this project is not "real" in a commercial sense, we tried three iterations with increasing levels of client involvement just to see how the designs might differ.
Design 1 was purely from Colin's perspective as a listener to the show, wth no involvement from Tim.
Design 2 was derived from Colin's interview questions that he'd normally ask an actual client.
Design 3 included Tim's general vision of what he wants in the new page design, plus Colin's executing the details.

Remember to see episode DC654a for the PDF file of Colin's three designs, or look at them on Colin's own website at

Listener Tom from Maryland asks some very important questions about hackintoshing, end-user license agreements, and the poorly implemented and supported EFI-X module.

Hi everyone, the wine glasses Michael Graves told us about in episode 61 from this past August are now finished. You can see them next to bottles of [Yellow Tail] wine in the photo accompanying this blog posting, and also I have put them into the episode art for DC61 alongside the images of Michael Graves hand mixer from Target.
For the next several weeks you can bid on several sets of these limited edition wine glasses at eBay. Proceeds benefit the American Association of Museums.
