How do you reach my site?

February 22, 2010 | Critique, Design

I feel like we, computer geeks/nerds, had been very egoist for the last 10-20 years. I don’t know why but we made everything about computers so hard to use and wanted it to go mainstream. Now, everyone tries to use computers, the web, email…

The thing we couldn’t understand is not everyone can use & understand computers like we do. It’s just like we cannot know or understand everything about life, cooking, fishing, relations, history…

So, reaching this site. There are two ways:

  • Go to the big white box at the top and type erenemre.com, hit enter.
  • Go to Google (or medium white box at the top right) search for eren emre. First result is this site.

If you have no clue about why I’m blogging this, check out these links: Comments to this article, this article or that one.

Ps. World wide web is not for just dummies, it’s for all of us. And our job is to achieve this.

YouTube's usability mistakes

YouTube’s usability mistakes

I always wanted a camcorder to record some videos, play with them and do some video art. Last week I bought a Canon HG10, it’s a perfect camcorder for new users.

I shot my first HD videos and I needed a place to show them. There were a few choices, such as Vimeo & YouTube. Vimeo is like a dream to me. I’ve been a member of that community over 2 years and they’re doing a great work. But Vimeo is for more professionals. Since these were my early -junk- videos, I didn’t want to upload them to Vimeo. And so my YouTube journey begun.   »  

Being a Wordpress user again

Lovely Wordpress Logo

Lovely Wordpress Logo

I remember it when there were not so many choices to use as a blog CMS. Actually Drupal was very weak and complicated, Nucleus CMS was great and Wordpress was very simple. Nucleus is almost dead now, Drupal became more than a blogging tool; a powerful CMS and Wordpress is the most popular blog CMS.   »
