I thought I did a lot of traveling last year, but what I’ve got planned for 2011 already blows 2010 out of the water. There are 10 cities on the itinerary so far, and I’m sure there will be more to come. It’s exhausting when I stop to think about it, but then I remember [Keep Reading…]

I wish I were going to UX Hong Kong!
Last weekend I had a Skype catch-up session with my good friend Dan Szuc. Dan runs the usability consultancy Apogee HK, and his team is producing the first ever UX Hong Kong on February 18, 2011. Apogee HK started at the end of 1999, and by 2003 Dan realized that there was a need for [Keep Reading…]
See me speak at Web 2.0 Expo NY
I’ll be giving my DIY UX talk at Web 2.0 Expo NY tomorrow morning (session page), and later will be leading a conversation session on The Value of UX for Startups. If you see me in the halls of the Sheridan today, tomorrow or Thursday, be sure to say hi. I always love meeting new [Keep Reading…]
My Rejected Submission to Interaction11: What Lessons Can We Learn From Soap Operas For Designing Experiences
Rejection emails from IxDA’s Interaction11 conference have begun to circulate this morning. There were 300 submissions for the lightning sessions and only 30 slots, and no doubt rejecting 90% of the speakers was an extremely tough task. I don’t take it personally at all that I was included among them. Many people in the industry [Keep Reading…]
An Event Apart Minneapolis 2010
I had the distinct pleasure of presenting at An Event Apart 2009 in Boston and Chicago (read about my experience), so imagine my delight when Jeffrey and Eric asked me to reprise my talk this year in Minneapolis and San Diego! AEA attendees are a tough crowd — they’re already smart, successful and very well-informed [Keep Reading…]
Evaluations of my STC Summit 2010 talks
A few months ago I wrote about my experience presenting at STC Summit in Dallas — my first time speaking at an event outside of UX and web design. Yesterday I received the evaluations of my two talks — 10 Most Common Misconceptions About User Experience Design and Evangelizing Yourself — and I’m quite pleased [Keep Reading…]

Whit Hour is my weekly video-based “office hour” in which I answer any and all questions about user experience, consulting, and whatever else you wanna throw at me. Tune in every Monday night [Keep Reading…]
The Honor and Burden of Chairing a Conference
I attend a lot of conferences. Okay, more than a lot — an ungodly amount. Just check the Conferences tag on this blog. Attending them is a ball, inspirational but tiring. Speaking at them is a privilege, stressful but rewarding. Organizing them…now that isn’t something I’d wish on my worst enemy. Why? Because it’s a [Keep Reading…]
My Creating a Culture of UX workshop at UX London
To say I had a blast at UX London would be a lie. Not because it wasn’t amazing, but because I didn’t actually attend any of it outside of my own workshop. Some may have thought I was out and about exploring London instead of attending other speakers’ sessions. Quite false. Where I really was: [Keep Reading…]
