Flying back from France in July, I finally wrote this on my customs slip re-entering Australia, and it gave me a thrill.

I emailed them (after re-linking it), here’s what I got.
Dear Tim Marsh,
Thank you for contacting PayPal.
I apologise but PayPal did not remove your card. If you will check the

Dear Aeroplan: your user panel sucks (a case study in poor UX)

by Tim MJune 10, 2010 This is Broken

Since reading Defensive Design for the Web by the Signals, I’ve become obsessed with good UI and UX; it’s something I constantly focus on at wherespresso.com and its iPhone app, as it’s developed.
In my mind, there are NO EXCUSES for poor UI and UX from big companies like Aeroplan. None. Zero. Zilch. If you have [...]

How to Lose Control of your Brand (the Bonsoy Recall)

by Tim MApril 28, 2010 Business

Recently, I wrote about how not to manage PR (this related to the Bonsoy recall).
As a continuation of that theme, I want to illustrate how easy it is to lose control of your brand/identity in cyberspace when people are angry about something you’ve done, particularly when there is an information vacuum. The market does [...]

Chitika Ads causing Twitter Character Insertion

by Tim MApril 23, 2010 Technology

This particular problem has been causing me trouble on three of my Twitter accounts; @projectheresy, @tdftips and @shredquest.
Random characters: click to expand.

I’ve finally pinpointed the culprit: the Chitika Premium plugin for Wordpress, when used in combination with TwitterFeed.
I’d previously put the Chitika ad unit at the top of posts. I’ve moved it to the bottom [...]

Free to a Good Home: Intelligent Energy Management System Idea

by Tim MApril 22, 2010 Featured

The Idea
I’ve been ruminating over setting free my idea for a while, and I’m just too busy to justify sitting on this, so I am giving it away.

Why I Hate 37signals’ new book Rework

by Tim MApril 7, 2010 Cool Tools

I hate Rework.
…About as much as I hate 3 foot of powder in the Canadian Rockies.
This book is THE BEST BUSINESS BOOK I HAVE READ. Actually I am wrong. Linchpin and Rework are neck and neck.

Getting it Shipped: a lesson from my wherespresso.com makeover

by Tim MMarch 31, 2010 Featured

Website makeovers can become horribly corrupted, go way off course from the original intent, and sometimes end up hopelessly compromised, and even go undelivered.

by Tim MMarch 7, 2010 Featured

Seeing as I am heading overseas soon, I needed a way of saving attachments (pdfs, specifically, for plane itineraries and passport scans) from emails on my iPhone (both from the Mail app and from a browser) to my iPhone.
