This is Where We Are: September 2009 Mix

Listen to this mix while enjoying the weather before everything turns cold and grey. Go for a walk by the water, all the bugs are gone. Oktoberfest marzen and pumpkin cookies make a good accompaniment. Or listen while on a drive to or from the country.

The Lightning Dust track is my favorite, from an album which may be my favorite this year. If you’re looking for musical gold, see Black Mountain and all related side projects, you will thank me later.

Barbara Kruger on Context

I believe that who we are, and consequently the work that we make, whether we’re visual artists or writers or journalists or filmmakers, is a projection of where we were born, what’s been withheld or lavished upon us, our color, our sex, our class. And everything we do in life to some degree is a reflection of that context.

Your Card Has Expired: Ten Mistakes to Avoid When Designing an ePayment System

Payment and billing design is it’s own animal on the web. How do you maintain a good customer relationship while gracefully taking your users’ hard-earned cash? So much is at stake in a poor payment experience.

I got together with two talented designers who grapple with the same obstacles, on sites dealing in billions of dollars annually, and we sat down and discussed our experiences. If you design payments online today is your last day to vote for my SXSW panel!
