Marketers buying you off…

Just in case you didn’t already know, Starbucks wants you to vote.

So does Krispy Kreme.

Oh, and Ben & Jerry’s.

But it’s not just food getting in on the act. Babeland wants to give you an orgasm if you go and vote. Ok, so they’re not guaranteeing the orgasm, but they are giving you a way to make it easier–with a free sex toy

And Rock The Vote will give you some free music.

If none of those ways of bribing you into your local polling place work, you might be able to find something else on the list thoughtfully compiled by the folks over at slickdeals.net.

As for me, this election felt dirty before…now it just feels gross. If you’re so apathetic about the democratic process that you need free shit to convince you to show up and participate, then should your voice really be heard?

NONE, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH

dexocratic revolution - user experience architecture

dexWho is Dex?
A user experience architect in the rainy Pacific northwest who can regularly be found in various coffee shops drinking (double grande non-fat) lattes, whipping Visio into a wireframing and flowcharting frenzy while debating, discussing, and pondering the triumphs and challenges of information architecture, user interface design, usabilty and user experience in an ever-changing technology driven marketplace.




Random Thoughts...

on findability...You can’t use it if you can’t find it.

on search...Search terms tend to be short, ambiguous and an approximation of the searcher's real information need.

on interaction...For information to be actionable, it must be simple, relevant, timely and in context.
