Who are you?
December 8th, 2004My name is Dan Diephouse. I have my hand in too many buckets to count right now – open-source, software, media, logistics, and more. Trained as a Chemical Engineer, I love solving problems. I especially love using technology to solve problems (although it is not the solution to every problem). Currently I am an independent consultant. Outside of the web and work I like playing/writing music, drinking fine wines, and reading.
open-source
Things I’m involved with in open-source:
The Codehaus
XFire
Plexus

You know, Dan, from a design standpoint, to use the phrase “Who are you?” on the website as a link to information about yourself is unintuitive. The website confronts the user; thus, by asking “Who are you?”, the user assumes intuitively to be being asked. Then, upon following the link, the user finds a bio of yourself, which, while delightful, is unexpected (the user expected, rather, a guestbook or something equivalent). You must not project possible questions the user may have into the navagational interface of the site. Does this sound pedantic enough? Good.
PS. Notice how jesuitjon.com follows this rule
I like that you post more.
Forgive me for posting the blank comment earlier. Your commenting system is also “teh suck.” LOL OMG.
