I haven’t quite been able to watch this myself yet, but here is a video that someone took at the Interesting08 conference last weekend. I spoke about the development of the human brain and the importance of social interaction for babies. It was an excellent day - makes me feel only slightly better about missing [...]

This weekend I went to BarCamp and it was great. Always good to catch up with fellow campers and hear what’s on their minds.

What was on my mind this weekend was DIY User Research - you can see my slides above. This took me a little out of [...]

I was very happy to have the opportunity to hop up and share my thoughts on Ambient Intimacy at the Future of Web Apps conference in London yesterday. The slides are above.
This is a bit of a move on from the talk I presented earlier in the year at Reboot - a little lighter on [...]

You might have read about the workshop I ran at dConstruct recently… it was fun for all and, even better, it appears that people found it valuable and are actually applying it in their day to day work - hooray!
Word on the street is that there may be enough people interested in running the workshop [...]

I had the opportunity to present a talk on the power of iterative methodologies over waterfall at dConstruct last week (a.k.a Waterfall Bad, Washing Machine Good). This is an extended re-mix of a talk that I gave very briefly at the IA Summit earlier this year (I also presented a similar talk at UX Week [...]

I ran a workshop on Collaboration, Creativity & Consensus for User Experience Design at dConstruct last week. I had lots of fun and learned a lot as well - I know, it makes me sound as though I was a participant, not running the show! Funny how that works! (Hopefully the people who came along [...]

dConstruct (Brighton, UK) tickets go on sale tomorrow (10 July). They sell out fast. You don’t want to miss out - especially this year with such a great line up on the theme of designing the user experience.
UX Week (Washington DC) also looks amazing. Tickets are on sale for [...]

I’m at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston at the moment and hopped up bright and early to give a presentation at 8am this morning. I was talking about Social Project Management, but those who’ve seen or read the washing machine presentation will probably find a fair few similarities between this presentation and that old [...]

Around this time last year I was holidaying in Thailand, which was blissful. The downside, however, is that I was offline when the dConstruct tickets went on sale and just hours later - they were all gone
I’ve never been to a dConstruct conference before, but I’d heard such great things, I was [...]

Before I file away (or accidentally lose) my Reboot notebook I thought I’d transcribe a few of the handwritten notes I took whilst listening to some of the presentations I attended. Some of them are my paraphrasing… I’ll put quote marks around those that I’m fairly confident are verbatim quotes.
(Note that the number of notes [...]
