I was born and raised a city kid in NYC before attending the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Then I moved out West to become a California hippie. Well not quite...

I actually moved to Silicon Valley to be a professional software engineer at Siebel Systems, which has since been eaten by Oracle. I did that for a few years before becoming a freelance CRM consultant in 2005, helping other companies with their Siebel implementations.

More recently I've been spending my time in web development.

I was turned onto this site from Coding Horror. When I'm not on my computer, I'm running around town with my dog.

comment Small form, big page
Thanks for the response, Lookchin. I understand your suggestion. I'm actually looking for what do do when you've committed to a responsive design--where the width of your content stretches to the width of the browser. I tried to make that more clear in the question.

revised Small form, big page
Added another screenshot and clarified that this is a generic question, not just to do with the dashboard shown.

comment Small form, big page
The screenshot is from Salesforce.com, a web app for salespeople. However, the question was generic, so assume we can parse and present the data however we please. Or imagine a form to create a contact in an address book. Or how about a page for a publishing company to review a book to be published? Those things probably have some optimal fixed width. So how do they fit into a responsive design that might stretch to 2560 pixels wide?

comment Unintuitive order of vi directional keys
I have the same confusion with the up and down keys. My mnemonic: "Fuck up" - since "up" is your middle finger.

comment What is a good way to auto-generate an attribute value?
What are you struggling with? An intuitive way for the user to indicate he wants to create a new attribute (the plus sign in your case)? Or being clear about what each type of attribute does (Text vs. Number Range vs. List)?
