PDF me, baby!
Smashing Magazine have posted a great
list of PDF based magazines.
Smashing Magazine have posted a great list of PDF based magazines. These make a welcome change from the increasingly homogenous blog format, with great design and a collection of content rather than a single, often recycled entry as the main content (I’m as guilty as everyone else!).
I’m interested in what the reader dynamic is here. Are these being read onscreen? Or printed off on sheets of A4 (doublesided?). What does the phenomenon have to teach the growing crop of specialist printed magazines for whom the “production of something tactile and beautiful” is everything?
Transport informatics
Dan Hill has posted a frankly immense article on City of Sound about access and use of transport data. His point is that transport usage data should be available as openly as possible to enable empowered usage.

Particularly cool is the real time Helsinki public transport map. Each bus and tram apparently has a linux server and GPS, raising the possibility of bus-specific services.
I can’t help also thinking, is that all they’ve got in the way of buses and trams!
Summer’s here!

Still, you can’t argue with the appearance of the Heat Buster detective. We’ll all be needing to hang airconditioning pipes out the windows anytime now!
Service Design Research
Jeff Howard has posted a selection of service design citations from a number of business journals going back 30 years.
Jeff Howard has posted a selection of service design citations from a number of business journals going back 30 years. With something of an emphasis on business systems and less on the cultural development of value, it can feel a bit dense at times but it’s a valuable resource and Jeff has added a very useful filtering system to trace the lines of flight.
