Updated again with IA Summit 2007 Workshop. I’ll be posting about the other presentation I did with Tom Wailes, and the slides, shortly.

For those who’ve attended the session or workshops previously, thanks! Hope you enjoyed it and as always, we’d love to hear how it was applied and whether it was useful. More importantly, we’d [...]

Hear Me Roar

… or hear me speak. There’s two podcasts now of the IA Summit talk we did in March. Livia Labate kindly posted some recordings including our session. AOL Mountain View also has an interview with us. Surprisingly, I didn’t say “um” a lot, but I do need to work on more varied intonations.

APE was really great. It was my first comic convention and I met a ton of people who were creative in different ways than one might see in the design community - refreshing. Probably the coolest thing, next to seeing Matt Groening again, was checking out the booths and finding someone over a sketchbook behind [...]

This weekend, I’ll be at the Alternative Press Expo (APE) for the first time.

Brandon and Nicole have graciously offered to share their table with Min Jung, Courtney, Robert and [...]

You’ve seen conference badges at conferences and nametags at big parties. At the recent Adaptive Path party, I “tagged” myself. Ha. Ha. I’m so clever, right? I mean gee, Kevin, you’re such an original character. Well let’s see what happened. I put:KevinOK/CancelYahooComicsCanadaSkiingand then ran out of space. During the course of the night I had [...]

Conference Virgins and Conference Friends

In Thoughts and Rants on 6 March 2006 tagged conference, okcancel, sxsw, sxsw2006, sxswi, ted, ted2006 with 5 comments

There’s also [...]

Dynamo, a street magician from UK was performing and presenting at TED2006. On the following night, at the Aquariem Party, he was performing to small groups. Someone mentioned that he may be using a trick deck. As it so happens, I carry a deck of cards with my laptop bag at all times and as [...]
