November 16 2009
So much going on right now—good stuff, really—but not much time to tend to Bloug. So just a few notes for now: Rosenfeld Media just published its fifth book: Todd Zaki Warfel's Prototyping: A Practitioner's Guide. I'm thrilled with Todd's... read moreEarly regi deadlines for my fall workshops

It's been a year since the financial meltdown. And it's got me wondering: how hard have information architects been hit? I have plenty of anecdotal information, but really, I don't feel confident in saying that this has or hasn't been... read moreSeptember 08 2009
They're all wonderful candidates, and naturally it's hard to chose. So I voted for the candidates that are not going to try to change the way that information architects think, or are thought of by the outside world. That's not... read moreAugust 28 2009
That's right. Eleventh IA Summit. Phoenix, April 7-11. Here's the call for participation.... read moreCan we talk? (and why? and how?)
August 26 2009
One of my New Year's resolutions for 2009 was to talk regularly with UX practitioners. Since then, I've been organizing monthly UX book salons. For the most part, we've discussed the format and presentation of UX books—which of their features... read moreiPhone apps: what you suggested
August 26 2009
My first iPhone arrived about three weeks ago. I say first because, given my experience with the quality of Apple hardware, I'm sure I'll be replacing it before too long. Durability fears aside, it's really been a joy. I won't... read moreLet's just stick with the ugly
August 24 2009
The guy behind this deserves a lot more attention (his cartoons are hilarious as well): Sorry for the light posting schedule. I'm busy as hell, despite it being August 24. Guess I'm supposed to be at the beach, but summer's... read moreUpcoming talks: Brooklyn, Seattle, DC
July 02 2009
Steve Krug and now have our fall workshop schedule settled. You might not know, but Steve is working on a new (and much anticipated) book on DIY usability testing; that's what he's covering in his new workshop. I've been tuning... read moreJuly 01 2009
Stumbled across this brief article about a new CIO at the US Department of Veterans Affairs. CIO Roger Baker's "...plan will require managers to deliver systems and applications incrementally, rather than all at once. If managers miss three key milestones,... read moreJune 15 2009
A colleague asks: I need to gather some evidence of user behaviour with regards to site search, namely 'browse vs search'. Do you know of any recent research papers that show a trend towards people preferring to search a website,... read moreJune 11 2009
Fast Company recycles some coverage of the American Airlines main page dustup. Interesting discussion in the comments section, worth checking out. But I can't help but thinking that they're spending way too much time kvetching about the main page at... read moreJune 05 2009
Dear Content Strategists: Well done. You guys are fantastic. You've got some great leaders among you, and more importantly, you seem to be generating a lot of meaningful grass roots activity. The world really needs you, and you're poised to... read moreMay 27 2009
Just a few partly-formed thoughts about reports, the kind that make sense of user research of both the web analytics and user experience varieties, and how they might be integrated: Reports should be built around questions. Really, reports should be... read moreUser experience and web analytics
May 16 2009
As part of my work on the site search analytics book, I've begun learning about the way that web analytics people, like my co-author, Marko Hurst, think. It's different than us user experience people, and quite complementary. In fact, though... read more
