In another world with my English

Introduction This time I was tasked to read a book, something I would’ve never done otherwise, and write about it here in this post. I chose a book titled “Don't Make Me Think” by Steve Krug because the title caught my attention. I decided to see what it is about and after taking a look at it I decided to give it a try and read the first two chapters. Here’s what I have to say about it. What is it about In the first two chapters the author talks about how people really use the Web and why they don’t want to think while doing so.

The naming should be easy and the buttons that are meant to be clicked should look, well, clickable. The author points out a few reasons for this design.

Introduction Do you like watching music videos or maybe you just want to see an amateur struggle to create one? If so, I recommend you read this post as it might give you some insight into video editing and how fun but also difficult it can be.

About me My Information Processing Science studies story began a few years ago, though back then it was nothing more than a random idea. For some reason, I really wanted to come to Finland and one day I began to consider studying there. And so, for the past two years I’ve been working towards it. It was a stressful period as it was connected to my high school graduation and thus, I’ve had a lot going on. I ended up having to wait until July to know if I can really come here. But in the end, everything turned out well, though arriving here was only a part of success.

Blogging The funny thing about blogging to me is that I’ve never really heard anything about it and thus I didn’t see the value it brings to the table. However, after reading an article about blogging advantages I can think of a few ways in which...
