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

...and it's lovely: Donna Spencer's Card Sorting: Designing Usable Categories. Yes, it took a while; perhaps Rosenfeld Media is the publishing equivalent of the Slow Food Movement. But good things come to those who wait; more info here.... read moreMay 13 2009
On May 20th, at the conclusion of my European speakathon, I'll be enjoying myself at the Happy Hour that our London hosts, Etre, are organizing: Can't make it to Etre Get Together 2009? Fancy sinking a few pints with Lou... read moreMay 06 2009

Just because it's bizarre and because I thought it'd be interesting to check, here is the first (I think) Official Who, What, Where, Why, When, and How of Google (as of April 24, 2009): Who: WHO | World Health Organization... read moreVisiting London and Hamburg in May
April 15 2009
I have a pretty insane travel schedule next month. I'll be in Hamburg May 15-19, and London from May 19-21. MJ won't talk to me, Iris pouts, and little Nate spits up on me whenever the subject comes up. Plus... read moreApril 02 2009
...a new Rosenfeld Media book: Nathan Shedroff's Design Is the Problem: The Future of Design Must be Sustainable. Read all about it here.... read moreApril 01 2009
There I am, always desperate for love. I'm actually showing off the cufflinks—ducklinks, actually—that Mags Hanley and the rest of the wonderful IA Summit committee presented to me for hanging around for so long. What I really could have used... read moreStop Listening to People like Me
