- Seat Guru
Seemingly well researched differences of legroom & seat pitch information for long-haul carriers.
- Rendering Effective Route Maps: Improving Usability Through Generalization
Proposes that the usability of (electronic) maps should mirror the way we might sketch out directions by hand to a friend. Generalised, not to scale, scribbled notes, features on the landscape. Boxes and arrows. Google/MS/SatNav et al. fail to understand this. I'd rather my SatNav said, 'get on the motorway, take the junction after the red McDonalds sign, then you'll see a big glass building, head towards that.", then perhaps interject if I get lost.
Computers are too literal, that's not how humans interact with each other, there's advantages to our human imprecision. Some kind of OpenStreetMap RouteWiki could carve out a niche here.
- Modeling Entity Relationships - Google App Engine - Google Code
Walk-through of implementing relationships in the Model code (rather than at DB schema level).
