IA Summit: Inspiration From the Edge

In Design Discourse, Game On, Presentations on 16 April 2008 tagged Design Discourse, iasummit, iasummit08, iasummit2008, poetpainter, stephenpanderson with 2 comments

I’ve often believed that the best designers don’t get their ideas and inspiration from the place they work. As a designer that works in the social web space, I do look at a large number of new sites that come through the pipeline for inspiration. However, I also am a big advocate of experimenting with [...]

Luke Wroblewski of Functioning Form and Yahoo! describes a framework for designing content on a site.

My roommate Min Jung claims that she was deprived as a child and is making up for lost time. That’s why she has the TV on all the time as background noise even if it’s just … noise. I call bull because I lived through my formative years in a place that only have 4 [...]

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 [...]

… 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.

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 [...]

There’s also [...]
