It was a strange day in December...very changeable weather. Not so cold, but spritzing, misting, and the light went from bright sun to almost dark. This view reminded me of a mystery novel, and we had a mystery, actually. We found some jewelry buried in the sand. So if you lost some at La Push and can describe it, you can have it back. (No one reported any missing). For some reason, Flickr said I couldn't copy this to the comment box, I don't know why. Sorry I couldn't pile them all together for you.

TRP - Sweat it out
Was catching up with Brighton chumleys tonight, had a nice time, was good to have a giggle.
Had to play Joel's TRP day, trying to gym and commute to a different city is proving difficult :(
Texte original en français (English version is further down)
Voici un robinet qui m’a bien amusé. Il se trouvait dans les toilettes d’un des nombreux musées du Vieux Montréal. Mon ami n’arrivait pas à le faire fonctionner. Il n’arrêtait pas de le tourner à gauche et à droite, sans résultat. C’était pas surprenant. Il fallait pousser dessus. La forme du robinet donnait toutes les indications contraires, vu qu’il y avait une manette faite pour tourner et qu’en plus il y avait des indicateurs rouges et bleus pour montrer dans quel sens tourner.
Sauf exception, on s’attend à tourner un robinet pour le faire marcher, ou encore à le soulever. Des fois il y a des robinets à ressort sur lesquels on appuie, pour avoir de l’eau tiède pendant quelques secondes. Mais ces robinets écologiques ne donnent pas le choix de la température de l’eau et sont simples à l’extrême. Quand on va se laver les mains aux toilettes publiques on n'y va pas pour inspecter les lieux et regarder tout ce qui s’y trouve et lire le moindre bout de texte (c'est marqué PUSH ON sur le dessus) qui s’y trouve. On y va assez vite et les rares fois où on prend plus de temps c’est parce qu’on parle avec quelqu’un et dans ce cas on prête pas attention aux alentours. Je regarde ce genre de choses à cause de mon intérêt pour l’ergonomie des logiciels.
English version of the original French text (L'original en Français est en haut)
This is in a nice, modern, clean public washroom in one of the many museums in Old Montreal. Just push on the faucet to get it going. Easy isn’t it? No! A friend of mine was fiddling with it in frustration, and complaining that it was defective. No water was coming out when he turned the faucet left and right.
My friend just couldn’t get it to work, because the shape of the lever, and the red and blue dots on the left and right side were giving him the signal that this was the kind of faucet that you turn. He didn’t see the writing on it saying PUSH ON because when you’re over a sink you’re not expecting to have to read something. You’re there to do what you have to do real fast and get out, without paying much attention to the surroundings. Yes, sometimes, things don’t go that fast in a washroom. You can have conversations in public washrooms, in which case you pay even less attention to the surroundings. I pay attention to those things because of my interest for human-computer interfaces.
. Our group sought to create a prescription pill bottle that proves easier to use and that addresses the needs of people who suffer from arthritis or other diseases that cause limited dexterity within an ageing population. We conducted market research and discovered a great design opportunity. The prescription bottle has not been redesigned since it was available on the market in 1970s. From our market research we place objective and design constrains that would best suit out target market. We researched human capabilities, environmental constraints, standards and regulations along with manufacturing technology processes to assist us in our design. Then we started to mock up prototypes to test and verify our theories. We conducted user trials on our working prototype so see and hear what our users had to say. We set tasks that would seek out potential problems with our prescription bottle design. Our user trails were then analyzed and broken down into components to see where the product fell short and where it excelled. This document also discusses further recommendations for the prescription bottle.

i like taking pictures of fun things in my house! hopefully it's not too boring.
i also like to quote lyrics and i'm pretty sure nothing beats this:
'Salt and Pepa's here, and we're in effect
Want you to push it, babe
Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat
C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know
How to become number one in a hot party show
Now push it"
