The cobbler's son is without shoes

Here is the homepage of a magazine dedicated to user expereince. Every rule broken. Every mistake repeated. Crowded, cluttered, static, bricks of text. Scattered colors. Uni - No - Zero dimensional !!


Which reminds me of one of the first puzzles my dad had posed to me.

You go to a village that has two barbers. The first is in a dishelved shop, with torn clothes and a bad haircut, the other is in a shiny shop, wearing an apron and well trimmed. Who would you go to?

I obviously answered it wrong all those years ago. Just tells me that the experts are busy fixing user experiences some place else. Good for them.
