Value Propositions, an encyclopedia of paywalls & an exploration of value online.
Lots of very interesting ideas in this online demo of Alex Kauffman’s Master’s thesis for the NYU Interactive Telecommunications program. Make sure you go through them all (including calling the phone number to get past the GrayWall).

Speaking of quitting…

I’m leaving Ancestry.com to join Yelp as a UI Product Manager. It’s going to be exciting to experience things like daily release cycles, an office dog and the color red.

Phosphorescent — Reasons To Quit

Last summer I nearly wore out this album before putting it back on the shelf for winter. This morning I gave it another listen and I swear it got more “empty house with a bottle of whiskey at 3am” sounding over the past couple of months. Which, given that it’s an album of Willie Nelson covers, is a good quality to have.

The wireframe stencils for Google Docs Morten Just made are interesting in that they turn Google Docs into a collaborative wireframing tool, but my favorite thing is the blue. I normally wireframe in grayscale, but somehow the blue just makes it that much clearer that you are working on a “blueprint”, not the final visual design. I want to go and make all of my OmniGraffle stencils blue now. (found via Josh)
