| I really like it. While it brkeas a few rules as to how users have come to expect menu options, it's not so foreign or abstract that users wouldn't be able to pick up on it almost immediately (which is the whole point of UI's, is it not?).In fact, I imagined an interface like this before, and how it would look like/behave. Here's a couple of ideas/possibilities that kicked around while I was thinking about this:(note: this are just random thoughts, not necessarily all of them apply to the same implementation)- items sorted in case-insensitive alphanumeric order- mouse-wheel to turn' the wheel, w/ one of the major compass-points (ie. 12-o'clock, 6-o'clock, 3-o'clock, 9-o'clock) being the highlighted/focused selection- smooth icon-scaling (ala mac OS X's dock) that follows either your mouse cursor, or at the above-mentioned fixed 12-o'clock or 6-o'clock positions- when focus is on an item, (either by mouse, or by above mentioned fixed 12 or 6-o'clock positions) show a preview' of that item's child menu items, in the same wheel-like fashion (probably only showing icons, no accompanying text)- previewed-child-menu-items should be selectable (even though they're only as mini-icons)- you'd be able to start typing the name, and with regular expression/substring matching all non-matching menu item names would either: * fade' into the background, giving more emphasis to menu items that still match * or an inner' ring would be created for the items that -did- match, leaving the non-matching items in the outer ring * or both? - selecting' an item zooms you into that item, thus creating a new wheel (transition zooming effect being the important thing here)I had a few other ideas kicking around as well, feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss this more. I was pretty excited to see that someone independently arrived at the same type of interface presentation.. it makes me believe that this idea might have some merit. Great work, and kudos for thinking out of the box! Mike |

| I understand you guys are looking to “revamp” the podcast. As an avid listener, I thought you’d be interested on why I listen to your podcast instead of all the other web design podcasts out there. I personally listen to the podcast for the QUICKLINKS and news. I know you guys aren’t planning on completely removing QUICKLINKS from the show but Kevin did mention how you guys wanted to schedule more interviews. The average interview lasts somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour long, which basically means you will have less time to cover and discuss QUICKLINKS, the thing that made your podcast unique in the first place. There’s several web design podcasts out there that already do the “interview” thing. The big ones that come off the top of my head are The Big Web Show, ShopTalk, and the Sitepoint podcast (which Kevin is also a part of). Maybe open up the show with what you guys have been upto recently, followed by web design news and then close with QUICKLINKS. You could even have guests come on the show with a list of their own QUICKLINKS. JUST DON’T NEGLECT THE QUICKLINKS MAN!Wanted to finish off by saying thanks to both of you for taking time out of your busy work schedule to create my favorite and the only web design podcast I listen to.Jose Vjoeroguen on the interwebs auto insurance quotes life insurance quotes |
