I think it’s likely that the language of twitter, facebook etc… is a small glimpse into the evolution of actual spoken language.

This is a note to myself about software design…

Simple software should optionally automatically train the user. For instance, a drawing program should only have a pencil tool until the user draws a line the first time, this then reveals the paintbrush tool and use of the paintbrush tool reveals the paintbucket tool and the paintbucket tool reveals, selection tool etc….

This is a vast oversimplification, but I plan to attempt to integrate these techniques in upcoming small web applications.

I’ve slowly been developing organizational tools … will be posting some of these in the near future so check back. Things including:

1) A tool that helps you learn the basics of any of the romantic languages in 2 weeks or less
2) A tool that helps you organize your priorities
3) A tool for drawing node based diagrams
4) A tool for sucking data from html pages for use with data visualizations and tests
5) … lots more

Just going to slowly work on these in the future and post them here as they are completed.
