Posted to Pacemaker - The First DJ App with Spotify, in reply to Jasper vd M , Feb 04, 2014 I'd like to believe that a person who "DJs" professionally would not have a setup primarily built around an iPad app (Traktor and djay included)... but how else could Pacemaker have marketed it to the general public?
Posted to Pacemaker - The First DJ App with Spotify, Feb 04, 2014 Having used djay and Trakor before I don't think this app is nearly as attractive to users seeking more advanced features. That being said, it's the first service of any kind that allows you to play 2 Spotify songs at once so it has a lot of appeal and I for one am excited to give it a try.

Posted to UX Booklist compiled by Twitter , Nov 18, 2013 Christina Wodtke ask the question on Twitter: "If someone wanted to become great at UX design, what is the ONE book you'd recommend they read, and why? I'll hold my response for now."

Posted to Ask DN: How do you communicate animations or animation ideas?, Oct 11, 2013 I find Keynote a great tool to showcase and communicate my animations and interactions for apps I'm designing. I've contemplated incorporating Quartz into my process, but not sure if it's worth it.
HTML/CSS/JS IMO is the ultimate way to go about it.
