At ReignDesign we use a shared Google Calendar to help plan our schedules. Todd previously wrote about Reigndesign's rabbit Nabby. What if there was a way to get Nabby to remind us about our upcoming appointments? Both Nabby and Google Calendar have simple APIs, and other folks have already written client libraries for PHP, so the amount of "glue" required to make it work was surprisingly small!

UXWeek Day 1 Recap part 1: Google Maps
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009Hi everyone, Nick (@n_kruse) here reporting back from my first day at the UXWeek conference in San Francisco.
My flight left Shanghai at 1pm, got into SFO at 9am, and I headed directly to the Palace Hotel, the location of the conference as fast as I could. By 11am I was in my seat and listening with as clear a head as I could muster.
The first talk I caught was You Are Here: How Google Maps Keeps Innovating, led by Bernhard Seefeld and Elizabeth Windram. They talked about their experiences pushing GMaps along. The biggest idea I got from their talk was that they focus on and design for power users -- not in the traditional sense of super-techy people, but rather the users who want or need to use the service often and therefore have both the highest level of patience and the highest expectations. I like this attitude -- assuming you can expect continued growth, you can and should design for a better/more saturated day.
