My oven worked for 5 years and it was burnt by your popcorn! Give me compensation for the loss! ... " The manager was down. He told me and couldn't laugh or cry. Think of users as idiots In the summer of 2004, I worked on user interface (UI) design for a period of time. At that time, the project manager said to me: "Just treat users as idiots." He explained the meaning: Because the user's knowledge and experience are not on the same level, we must consider the dumbe...

Made two stickers, support Google ! Very eye-catching…So had the following conversation: "How much did Google pay you for advertising it this way?" ---- Print shop owner "What does this mean? China Mobile?" ---- Delivery colleague (he saw the same Google logo on my phone) "Are you showing this to Google's satellites?" ---- Colleague "Google quit China, are you calling it back?" ---- Car store owner My answer was: "No, I welcome it to leave, don't suffer in this land." (It's not "Google quit China", but "China quit the Internet".)

I was busy all day until I found a list of articles in Google Reader during dinner, all about Google's quit from China. google.cn has redirectd to google.com.hk. This day should have come long ago.

Last month, colleagues from the United States visited and I met a designer, Rich, and we got along very well. I received an email from him recently, which touched me very much. 　

I printed a sticker on my car. The Chinese word "天佑中華 汶川加油" means "God Bless China, Wenchuan cheer up" Yesterday was still groggy, so nothing could be added. I watch TV these days than I do a year. I haven't played any games, and the web pages I see are black and white, which is very unaccustomed. However, more than 40,000 people have died.
