After 5 years of deep silence, one of the most talented Spanish Interaction Designers is writing again. And I am very happy to read him again.

Welcome back, Outsider.

Barak Obama is now a connection”.

Thesedays there are several posts talking about why people decide to write in English having a different mothertongue.

If I get a good answer about why people write their LinkedIn profiles in English and not in their own language maybe I could change my mind.

LinkedIn users also play on this league, don´t they?

Don´t get me wrong. This is the only space I really own, and in my apartment I walk naked, I can do whatever I want. I wrote in Portuguese for 3 years and people out there really appreciated. If somehow I get to know another language I will also try to write in that language. Why not?!!

Justice is an electronic French group known for adding a strong rock influence on their music. It is the most successful group of Ed Banger Records.

But we´re not here to talk about dance music. We´re going to talk about DVNO, one of their songs, released on May 19, 2008. DVNO stands for “Divino”; according to the group, “In every suburb of the world, in every city, there’s always a nightclub called El Divino… Clubs where you have to wear a white shirt to get in”.

The clip of this single it´s an knot out flashback to the 80´s, using typos, graphics, resources and effects from the emerging computer era. The company behind this job is Machine Molle, a motion and graphic design company based in Paris.

An absolutely must to be seen clip for those crazy about retro and typos (Vídeo YouTube 3:00):

BTW, they run an online shop quite interesting: Six Pack France.

An easy-to-use interface, nice screen transitions, minimal visual design, 3G connection and much more stuff… but something´s missing on the iPhone: Lack of customization.

One of the most important features of this kind of gadgets is to make it unique, personal, yours. Other mobile devices allow you to change everything: Keyboards, skins or hang small funny figures on the corners… On the iPhone you can add nice screensavers, and get it black, white or even red, but that´s all.

This is the only choice you have to make it different from the rest:

iPhone customization

Do not put three in the same table or you´ll pick the wrong one for sure…
