/forward is the IdentityMine home to share our ideas, technology and design thinking. We always want to be forward thinking and being able to share that passion is our goal. Here you will find our thoughts on all things UX. Some will see the immediate light of day and others may simply be relegated to the future.

I’m wondering if quoting install numbers is really worth it anymore.  I know one of the benefits of Flash is that it is on virtually every machine.  What is the threshold # that everyone is looking for?  To me it should be around 50%.  Once it’s on or around 50% of machines the bit should [...]

  Wrapping up a few items this morning then heading over to SF for Web 2.0 expo.  IdentityMine was invited to demo Microsoft Surface in the expo hall on Friday.  Going to register and walk the hall today and grab some dinner with friends in the city tonight.  If your around dm me on twitter: [...]

A few weeks ago IdentityMine was approached by our partners at EMC-Conchango about an upcoming UK focused Microsoft Surface press event.  The idea was to give some of the press an opportunity to sit down and interact with Microsoft Surface while talking about the tech with some of the UK’s leading agencies. As many of you [...]

This morning IdentityMine released information on our IdentityMine Gesture Engine solution accelerator.  At IdentityMine we have a variety of offerings to help customers get a jumpstart on their development projects.  Those come in the form of Solution Starters such as our Surface Wine Guide and Surface Event Photos applications.  Both serve as base applications for [...]

A few weeks ago I posted about the 10K Smart Coding challenge in highlighting Robby Ingebretsen’s Moustachr entry.  Little did I know that a few folks at IdentityMine were hard at work developing a few more submissions. ColorClock 10K by Laurent Bugnion* “The application is inspired from the “ChromaChron” clocks that were a huge trend in Europe [...]

Even though this has been all over the news with CNN etc I couldn’t help but embed it here on brockett.net.  I changed up the embed codes a bit to make it fit at 700 px wide.  What a great event to really showcase the technology.  Ever since this Photosynth was first showed I’ve been [...]

After the big blowout of CES last week it could be easy for everyone to shutdown this week regarding all things tech.  At IdentityMine we see it as the second half of a two week game.  Last week a few of us were at CES doing the meetings thing and this week we have [...]

Next Wednesday, Jan 7, I’ll be heading over to Las Vegas for CES 2009.  I’m going primarily to support a new partner who will be showcasing our software solutions on one of their new hardware platforms.  A press release with that news will be coming about next week. If you or someone you think would [...]

A few weeks ago Jaime Rodriguez from Microsoft stopped by our Pioneer Square offices in Seattle to interview Jonathan, Jared and Nathan about how we go about building our WPF projects.  Not much to say here except GO WATCH IT.     

I was going to liveblog some of this keynote but then looked over at Gilbert Corrales’ screen and he’s already got it covered. Here’s the link: http://bits.samiq.net/2008/11/live-form-sfo-its-max-keynote-day-1.html

As you may have gathered from my posts and tweets I attended PDC2008 two weeks ago and there are a few things that jumped out at me as it pertains to the trends in our ecosystem.  I’ve been a WPF guy since Avalon was announced back at PDC2005 and to me everything has been an [...]

I’ve been a Leo Leporte fan ever since The Screen Savers on TechTV.  I can even remember scheduling classes  around their 4pm timeslot so that I could catch it everyday (yes this was before I had access to TiVo).  After PDC they were talking a lot about Windows 7 and MultiTouch so I offered to [...]

We had a great time at PDC2008 and I was happy to see so many familiar faces.  Below is a recap of some of the coverage we were able to pick up during the event. CNET Coverage Microsoft delivers the goods at PDC 2008 (by Elinor Mils, CNET, posted on October 28, 2008) Youtube: EventPhotos Demo by [...]

Recently at PDC2008 IdentityMine showed a myriad of multi-touch interfaces running on Microsoft Surface and  Windows 7.  Our partners over at NextWindow hooked us up with a 42” touch overlay for one of our LCD monitors.  The key to making this all come together though from a production and development standpoint is the HP TouchSmart.  [...]
