The ups and downs of consulting
In my first week as an independent consultant, I wrote a blog post boasting about my 33+ hours of billable time. Now that two more weeks have passed, I thought it only fair to share some of the obstacles I’ve experienced as well. (But before I do, let me say this: I have awesome clients. [Keep Reading…]
Congrats to the new IAI board members
I just received an e-mail to notify me that I was not elected to the Information Architecture Institute’s board of directors. While I am disappointed that I won’t be able to represent the IAI in an official capacity and help them to reach a new generation of IA practitioners, I’ll still keep fighting the good [Keep Reading…]

The Information Architecture Institute has four open spots on its Board of Directors and the 2008 election process is underway.

If you’ve read this blog for long enough or follow me on Twitter, it should be no surprise that I’ve tried online dating. Many years ago in college, I signed up for Match.com, but my membership expired about three years ago. So imagine my surprise to get an e-mail from them the other day. The [Keep Reading…]
The Experience of Giving
I was just reading through some old e-mails when I happened upon something I wrote on November 4, 2004. I was about to finish grad school and move back to New York. President George W. Bush had just been re-elected. This e-mail is particularly apropos given my recent trip to Israel, the 2008 Presidential race, [Keep Reading…]
Philly Tweetup 08/27/08
If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you probably realize I have a mild (okay, not so mild) obsession with Twitter. If you aren’t already following me, please rectify that now. Because I enjoy nothing more than a good conversation over a good beer, I’ve organized some “Tweetups” (Twitter meetups) in the past, both [Keep Reading…]
Week 1 of independence
I just finished my first week of independent consulting with 33.25 billable hours. I’m pretty proud of that.
