UIWEB:
Critical thinking part 1: planning for design in web or software projects.
Good design requires planning. The stage must be set for designers to thrive and do their thing.
Critical thinking part 2: idea generation for teams of designers and engineers.
How do you manage ideas and bring them to fruition? This essay describes one approach to generating and manage the process.
Critical thinking part 3: project management.
It’s true that design specifications are difficult to write, and that good ideas are fleeting and rare, but until the design is in it’s final form, it’s far from finished. Much can happen between the moment the designer finishes the expression of the idea, and when the development team has finished building it.

John Rhodes: “Microsoft doesn’t care much about shared source or Smart Tags and we are wasting our time following their marketing trail.”
Although Dave
Winer seems to think that Microsoft "dropped
a bombshell" with their .Net
shared source announcement, I am not taking my eye off the ball. While
we bow to Scoble because he
figured everything
out, I am not going to take my eye off the ball. While people flock to
Slashdot to read
the story and comment on it, I am not going to take my eye off the ball.
While people continue to point to the original story on O’Reilly and shake
their stunned
heads, I am not going to take my eyes off the ball.
Listen to me very
closely. Shared source is trivial. Smart tags are trivial. No big deal. What
does Microsoft want? Here is the mind bomb: Microsoft’s business
model no longer revolves around software. Instead, it revolves around
services, transactions, and extracting value from activity on the
internet.

Kendall Clark: Three Myths of XML.
- The first myth rests on a confusion about the meanings of words like
“free” and “open” when they are applied to XML-encoded information.
- The second myth is that XML is magical, that it has some unique
properties that makes impossible things possible.
- The third is that technology, including XML, is more determinative of
social relations and institutions than they are of it.

Transform Magazine: ‘Free’ Content Management. “Erik Josowitz, vice president of corporate strategy for Vignette, Austin, TX, grants that free or low-cost software might be fine for departmental use and simple sites. However, he warns, ‘they have no support model, no upgrade model and no long-term roadmap. When a CIO looks for a content management system, they look for long-term technical support and scalability across an enterprise.'” [Scripting News]
