One of the things I like about captioning movie trailers on DotSUB , is looking find the being translated into other languages. Here is the movie trailer for Predator, captioned in English, and now subtitled in Italian and Japanese.

There was a great article on Emotional Interface Design on Carsonified.com by Aaron Walter The interfaces we design must first be functional – they need to solve a problem for us. Next, they need to be reliable – no fail whales please. Our interfaces need to be usable – easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to remember. The piece we often overlook is the pleasure. It’s at the core of culinary arts, but we find it far too infrequently in the web apps and websites we use daily. But what I liked best was this image: http://carsonified.com/blog/design/emotional-interface-design-the-gateway-to-passionate-users/

[Update 2014: billcreswell.com now using pluck, captionwire using wordpress, and grcomputerworks is using blogger] I have been waiting on using cms for billcreswell.com for a while now, thinking I might build my own. Came across a post about a simple cms called gpEasy . I think it's everything I would build. I dropped it into a folder on my IIS webhost Arvixe , which provides PHP, but not properly configured, so as yet, no drop in PHP solution had worked. Simple config and it was up. Wow, like the commercial says, "that was easy". I am using the open source .Net CMS, Umbraco, on captionwire.com and grcomputerworks.com , and I am quite happy with it, but I figure a php file based website is more portable, since I haven't got Umbraco to run on my apache server with Mono. The "Simple Blog" plugin had some issues, and was really too simple, but blogger is still free. I'll see if I can figure out how to make this html5----
