The wi-fi was down at the Javits Center during the Web 2.0 Expo NY keynotes on Friday. And the cell service was spotty. I did my best to capture some golden nuggets. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go at my normal speed so I didn’t get as much down as I’d have liked. Hopefully video [Keep Reading…]

Web 2.0 Expo NY: Chris Fahey’s “The Seduction of the Interface”
I was particularly excited to see my friend Chris Fahey from Behavior Design speak at Web 2.0 Expo NY this week. When I saw him speak for the first time at the IA Summit in Miami, I was really impressed with his delivery. This was his first time giving this talk, but you wouldn’t have [Keep Reading…]
Web 2.0 Expo NY: Genevieve Bell’s “Designing for the Internet(s) of the Future”
I had to miss the Thursday morning sessions at Web 2.0 Expo NY in order to get some work done. The first session I attended in the afternoon was by Genevieve Bell of Intel. As a former anthropologist and academic, the talk was much more research-focused than others, which was actually really refreshing — real [Keep Reading…]

Web 2.0 Expo NY: Avinash Kaushik’s Web Analytics 2.0: Rethinking Decision Making in a ‘2.0’ World
Web analytics is a sort of side interest of mine, having been responsible for navigating through and analyzing years of metrics during the EarthLink site redesign (while working at Tribal DDB). Understanding metrics, knowing what to track and when, and being able to make sense of the results are essential skills for an user experience [Keep Reading…]
Web 2.0 Expo NY: Jason Fried’s “10 Things We’ve Learned at 37signals”
I was really looking forward to seeing Jason Fried of 37signals speak because he has a particular reputation — I suppose you could call it a big ego. In all honesty, he didn’t phase me at all. Maybe I’m jaded. While I didn’t agree with all of his points, I found his perspective rather refreshing. [Keep Reading…]

IA Summit 2008 Closing Plenary: “Linkosophy” by Andrew Hinton
Much, much, MUCH overdue is the recap of Andrew Hinton‘s closing plenary titled “Linkosophy” at this year’s IA Summit. Andrew’s talk, equal parts intellectualism and practicality, was just what our field has been hungry for. Andrew is a uniter, not a divider, and I greatly appreciated the plain, honest tone he used when he told [Keep Reading…]
IA Summit 2008: Leah Buley’s “How to be a UX Team of One”
Unfortunately my laptop battery died just before I went into Leah Buley‘s sermon titled “How to be a UX Team of One” at the IA Summit. I call it a sermon because at the end of Leah’s talk, she had a veritable congregation of worshippers. Since I wasn’t able to Twitter, I had to reconstruct [Keep Reading…]
