- Aparently I’m the only one who bothers with the “creative” nametag thing. I did a self-refering-faceboog-thingy for a nametag:
- When you meet a geek, hold on to your glass tightly, someone might hit it and it will break into a million pieces, leaving the floor full of glass and beer
- When this happens, the waiters have no idea what to do
- When people know regexes, you should stand back
- There are no examples of any software with good flow and usability
- Radios with few buttons are cool (I think I made a good choice a few weeks ago)
- The new generation of terrorism will attack infrastructure, like the breakage to the Internet cables to the far east recently
- Tania is damn good with slideshow kareoke- and she has a surname
- If you own four companies, you have to have more images of your logos in your presentation than content
- I didn’t get a chance to walk to the guy who wore the “I’m a Mac” t-shirt and say “Hi! I’m Linux!”, maybe I should leave that to the nice-looking women
- The Geekdinner team did a good job and pulled it off nicely. Kudos to them.

Hey J
I was hoping the jedi-frogs slide would be the one that grabbed attention (-:

Hey Jonathan,
I must have misunderstood your question, I thought you asked about “Software used to design for Flow and Usability.” and not good exmaples.
Most games have decent tutorials, allowing you to step in as a complete newbie and learn the fundamentals of the game.
Better games allow users to skip the basic tutorials and dive into more complex challenges.
One game that comes to mind here is Command and Conquer - Tiberium Wars 3.
I’m not aware of decent web applications that embrace flow. It’s definitely got room for improvement.
As Kathy Sierra suggests in her blog, one should make it usable first, then make it flow.
Hope that helps,
Shaun
