The Fold Still Matters... Sometimes
In early web design we always used to talk about the "fold" - the part of the screen a user will see without scrolling down the page. Many think those who still consider the fold to be old school and outdated, but sometimes the fold still matters. If your website isn't the main goal you still need to consider the fold.
Designing for People you Didn't Know Existed
Last week a few of us from SEEK went to UX Australia, a conference dedicated to all things user experience. I gave a 10-minute talk at UX Australia which was recorded and will eventually be available but in the mean time here’s a sneak peak.

Apple Watch - Sharing your heartbeat
The Apple Watch is set to hit stores in April, and there's been lots of speculation of what your favourite apps will look like, and what use it will be.

I can think of a few that may be used, so perhaps this feature is nothing to scoff at.
