Predictions and more predictions… meh
I was going to list a few predictions for 2006 and then link to a bunch more… but that would be boring. There are a load of predictions for 2006 in the web world out there and I will stick some in the cool stuff category. One thing for sure—there will be some real great stuff developed but I wonder if the web things people use everyday will improve or not? Like student registration systems, banking websites, buying books, searching for course information, etc.
What I plan for 2006 is more JS, XML, XSLT, PHP, mySQL, Adobe tools in my dock, and OS X.5 hopefully 
What does that mean for the users of sites I am responsible for? Well so far my goals:
- searching for people, places, and things and UW will become much more useful—but must be careful to not provide the information overload.
- a much better designed, elastic width UW home page designed (not sure if it will ever see production but I am working on it now).
- news and information from CPA will come in many forms, maybe even with some podcasts.
- more images. Someone please hook me up with the UW photography club! I would love to feature their photos and credit them
- ..and for me: organize myself better—not in a Getting Things Done sense, just in a ‘i want to see my desktop’ way.
With that out of the way… bring on 2006! Five goals that should be easy to achieve. Oh, and check out who made Joe Clark’s Failed Redesigns list. Its good.
