Your interface is a serious stinker. Great idea moving off of iTunes. Gives you a chance to showcase that stinker of an interface *and* force me to listen to the same commercial over and over and over again. Are your advertisers totally hooking you up for that? Because after hearing the same jingles over and over again, I can promise I won’t buy anything being advertised.
That is all. Xoxo, Erik
Sphere: Related ContentAfter over 4 months of mum, I can finally talk about what I’m working on: the Yahoo! OS (open strategy). To be even more specific, managing the design team for the end-user experience of the Yahoo! Application Platform (and more than a little hands-on interaction design, given the scope and speed at which we’re working!)
I’m a bit brain fried right now after spending 2 weeks in a cave with our amazing design team* to produce the presentation shown by Ari Balogh (Yahoo!’s new CTO) at today’s Web 2.0 keynote, so I’ll just link over to Cody Simms’ short and sweet post about the project.
*Particular shout outs to Hans Kim, Mary Choi, Nicole Gregory, Jonas Hinn, and our fearless and truly visionary leader Micah Laaker. (and wade. and chris. and ash. and Denis Roy, our PR guy. And tons of other folks.) I couldn’t be prouder to be at Yahoo! working with such talented people.
Updates:
Jono is excited by the prospect of not answering the question “So, what ya workin’ on?” with the answer “I’d tell you but I’d have to kill you.”
Max is similarly excited, and found the keynote video:

And I heard luxe products were the first casualty of a recession.
I just realized I haven’t written anything in about two weeks, and next to nothing since the beginning of the year when I started working on a new project.
Despite all the crazy goings on at work: layoffs, media rumors, stock rollercoasters…
I. Am. Having. A. Blast. Working on something so cool it will make your head pop off. It’s made mine pop off a couple of times already. It’s magnitudes larger and more consumer-y than anything I’ve worked on before, so knowing that 10 jillion people will see and use it gives me a frisson* every time I see a new mockup.
The new situation/project/team are helping me set a couple of interesting new bars: The larger team of folks I work with are as bright and fun and wow as my Netscape days—a personal benchmark not seen since 1998. I’ve been at this company longer than any other I’ve worked at. And most importantly, I’m managing my own team of designers who are doing amazing work.
Anyway, that’s where I am: Head’s down in Sunnyvale, working on The Next Biggest Coolest Secret Thing at The Friendly Internets Company, thus no time to filter the internet and blast snarky posts about everyone and everything. About the closest I come to it is the occasional post to facebook: Pushing the “Share” button in my BrandX RSS Reader is much easier than hawking up bile and making bitter lemonade. Just pretend I said something witty next to every one of those.
I’m going back into the batcave to play with awesome toys now.

I only watch two with any regularity: Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model. The PR finale was last night and I didn’t have a chance to watch… this means I not only have to carefully keep my ears closed at the office, and am more or less prevented from reading blogs all day long, since most folks brainlessly put the winners and losers names in blog post titles, or as the first line of the post without a spoiler alert.
I just managed to blur past a post about the PR winner and haven’t spoiled it for myself yet.
