www.dontclick.it
has an excellent exploration and example of a user interface you can navigate without clicking a mouse button.

It’s very interesting. Fairly effective proof of concept
but I wonder if it would scale. I also am not sure what the real advantage
of getting rid of the click is. Definitely more interactive but seemed
slower than clicking. There’s probably a danger of annoyance if it gets
it wrong repeatedly.

I’ve been wanting a blog for a while now to capture:

• fun memories of the kids,
• notes on animated films I’ve seen, want to create, or am creating,
• trials and tribulations in the quest for the ultimate espresso,
• experiences and lessons related to building my physical vitality,
• observations of an unhappy or happy consumer,
• nerdly activities (struggles and successes) including TiVo hacking, and
• usability yeahs and boos.

I experimented with the more general Mambo CMS system but finally settled on WordPress because it’s really much more streamlined for blogging. I’ll be posting stuff in the past and will move this post back in time so it’s the first post so to be honest, the actual creation date of the blog was Nov. 16, 2005.
