fisheye

i love this article. titled "Development Diary: Taming the Fisheye," the article outlines the development of a coming web UI control/"widget" that the development team for the company nitobi built modeled after the Mac OS X dock. it's a really cool article. i've seen a few different implementations of this, one of them being in the Dojo toolkit. The thing i like best about this article is the reference to University of Maryland's HCI Lab. this blog article is a good example of HCI and UI research and the positives and negatives that result from this type of interface "widget."
