  • Superstruct - Scenario Planning Game from IFTF - Institute for the Future runs Superstruct, a massive multiplayer scenario planning game focused on 5 key "superthreats" herald extinction for humanity
  • Profile: Majora Carter - BusinessWeek - Got to spend some time with Majora at Overlap 08. What she's done and is doing is pretty inspiring. More interestingly is the amazing group of ppl around her, starting with her husband James…a quiet rock star.
  • First look at Windows 7's User Interface - Ars Technica covers the PDC unveiling of the Windows 7 UI. Interesting choices…since there aren't major architectural changes under the hood (from Vista) then the team has been able to focus more on UX. Not much eathshattering, but it looks much more thought out.
  • Design researchers: A tablet to call your own - Core77 - Via Dave Malouf on twitter - a concept for hardware dedicated to user researchers. Furthest out concept - useful subvocalization note taking capabilities.
