In this episode of This American Life, David Rakoff talks about flow (and gives you the correct pronunciation of "Csikszentmihalyi"). The first act, which is about the World Series of Poker, is also excellent.
I've been thinking quite a lot lately about flow, the mental state of being completely absorbed in a task, and how that might apply to the design of websites. I'm finding it very interesting so I've decided to devote my blogging efforts on this site to that topic. I'll be adding more about designing for flow very soon.
