Paul Ryan Doesn’t Know How Insurance Works
Paul Ryan is the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and he doesn’t really know how Healthcare works according to the Medium article I just read. Basically, the way the article describes a video-clip of Paul Ryan explaining healthcare, specifically Obamacare, points out how Paul basically took Obamacare and tried to shit on it because the way that Paul chose to describe Obamacare was like he was trying to separate it from how regular Healthcare works, thus, showing that Paul clearly lacks an understanding of how the regular Healthcare system or any insurance system works. I found the article to be hilarious because what Paul seems to miss is that all insurance is a policy in which most of the people who have the insurance will not need it but only have it in case they do need it, and that it doesn’t matter to them that they are paying for someone else who does end up needing that insurance because of something that happened to that individual. Therefore, insurance is a “just in case” thing and even if the “just in case” isn’t you the whole point of paying for the insurance (in the first place) is to cover you if you are ever the “just in case”, nobody cares if someone else ends up being the “just in case” so as long as they are protected “just in case it’s them”.

Bootstrap Studio [demo]

Bootstrap Studio seems to have a lot of potential. It's user interface is simplistic and removes the need for hard coding. The software makes website design a swift process without the hassle. However, the demo is very limiting in terms of assets and restricting in design. I found it difficult to fulfill my idea and had to resort to using the templates.

A Case Study (?) of a JavaScript Problem

By -
This week at work, I ran into a very basic problem that needed to be solved with JavaScript. It involved lots of trial and error, but after 3 hours or so, I finally solved it. I wrote an article on my personal blog detailing my thought processes and research trail, in case anyone is interested:  http://emilyserven.net/2016/09/30/js-problem.html (I also included a bunch of footnotes, so if any jargon is confusing, it should hopefully be explained in those.)

UI Animations Medium Post

v https://uxplanet.org/3-key-uses-for-animation-in-mobile-ui-design-4d7c482dd84b#.3p0xvb9y      So over the past few weeks I've been doing a lot of reading on animations and uses for animation on web.  To me being able to make a website or app feel like it's alive is a great feeling. It adds so much to the interactivity. By simply adding small animations the page suddenly feels alive. It can also make the user experience better overall.      An example is the use of animated loading screens or progress indicators. Using a creative progress indicator reduces the user perception of time. Animations can also make the sit or app seem better than it really is.  Another really useful time to use animations is when drawing the users attention. A good example of this is in notifications.  By animating the notification you can draw the users attention more easily. Overall animations should be used in most websites and can add a lot of value to the user and the creator.
