Try Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies.

Oblique Strategies (subtitled Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas) is a deck of 7x9 cm printed cards created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt and first published in 1975. Each card offers an aphorism intended to help artists (particularly musicians) break creative blocks by encouraging lateral thinking.

Here’s an awesome online version for the digitial age:

The Advantages of Table Views Over Left Nav Flyouts

Lists are generally easier to scan than tiles, and vertical scrolling is an easy interaction for touchscreen mobile devices.

Consumer Eye Tracking Device

Consumer Eye Tracking Device:

The Microsoft Kinect was an incredible leap forward in terms of the potential for interface design in the future. This eye tracking device is one of the first to market itself for consumers and not for research or industrial usage. Using a combination of movement tracking and eye tracking are a completely new paradigm for human computer interaction at the consumer level, and it’s very exciting to see giant leaps in this direction. I can’t wait to get my hands on these and start designing with a “natural user interface” in mind.
