UX Sessions at SXSW Interactive 2010 Mar 1st, 2010

Recently Dan Mall asked me if I had a list online of your recommended UX panels to see at SXSW.  What a great idea!  Having previously published a list of UX panels to vote on I thought it would be a good idea to comb through the panels that were already accepted and construct a list of UX sessions at SXSW Interactive. Here is what I came up with. 

Lastly, if you spot me at SXSW be sure to say hello and tell me you are a user experience professional, I have some fliers to give you with discount codes for Rosenfeld Media books, but only to those who are attending SXSW Interactive 2010.  See you in Austin!

Rosenfeld Media books for user experience professionals Mar 1st, 2010

If you are a user experience professional and not familiar with Rosenfeld Media books, you should be.  Rosenfeld Media is a independent book publisher that focuses on publishing UX books that are short, practical, and useful.  The thing I like most about Rosenfeld Media is that they really do pull in some of the most brilliant professionals in our industry that not only can talk the talk about they also walk the walk. They are doers, not just big names.  They also don’t pad their books, the book is as many pages as it needs to be to get the information communicated.  You can read more about Rosenfeld Media’s unique and refreshing approach to publishing on their about page.

User Experience Utopia (Atlanta) Feb 25th, 2010

Tonight I gave a talk on User Experience Utopia to the Atlanta Web Designers Group.  This is an expanded version of the talk I have given before. I focused a lot more on technology that is coming down the road as well as the steps we need to take to get there.  The AWDG group in conjunction with The UX Workshop managed to host a live stream of the event as well (there are a technical difficulties with the video but the audio is good).  Several great comments on twitter as well.  You can follow along via a search for #awdg.
