In early January I wrote an article for Mashable titled “10 Most Common Misconceptions About User Experience Design” in which I asked 20 of the most prominent leaders in the user experience community what they think is the biggest misunderstanding about what we do. I was blown away by the response to the article — [Keep Reading…]

Photo of the day: Unattended Kids
This one wasn’t exactly a submission (I asked for it), but like yesterday’s it was snapped by someone other than me — the luminous Andrew Hinton. While we were in Memphis for the IA Summit, Andrew was enjoying a meal at the Flying Fish when he spotted this sign. WE LOVE KIDS, BUT PLEASE KEEP [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Elevator button or fire alert?
Folks, this post marks a special occasion. My “Photo of the day” posts have become so famous that I’m starting to receive submissions — well, I got one, from a very nice friend. When I ran into Brian Shaler at SXSW, he told me that he had a great photo for me. He snapped it [Keep Reading…]

Photo of the day: The Huanting in Connecticut
I just loathe public misspellings. There’s something about the laziness of it all and total disregard for its intended “user” that really pisses me off.
