ux

Just a quick note today that I'm slowly building a new front page design for this website. My goal is to create more of a "Tumblr" design, where I can list everything that's new on the front page, including blog posts, bookmarks, short text blurbs, source code snippets, and photos. At the moment, all that shows up on the front page are blog posts, so if you only see the front page, you're only getting a very small idea of "What's new" here.

For a long time I've thought the Netflix UI/UX sucks. Their designers don't seem to understand how I want to use their service, they just seem interested in promoting their "You might like this tv show or movie" algorithm. I keep thinking about buying their stock (which just tanked again to $60), but then the thought comes into my mind, "They're enamored with their algorithm and architecture, but they don't understand UX or social."
