Awareness Test

Awareness test video Take this awareness test. It's good. It's short. It's better with sound - there's voice narration, but it's not loud or crazy or anything.

Get Miro

Miro Logo The Participatory Culture Foundation released Miro, a great TV/video app for Mac OSX. Free and open source, just the way we like it.

Everything on OSX seems to be taking on the iTunes UI to some degree - I guess it's the starting point for many an OSX user, and it seems to work pretty well for media browsing. A decent combination of intuitiveness, efficiency, and room for some customization (in certain bounded ways). Consistency, really, has been one of the strong points of using a
mac for so many years, even among shareware and freeware. The randomness of interaction design that can manifest itself in windows apps is one of that platform's bigger annoyances.
