The Limits to User-Centeredness
interesting report from the Design + Culture 02 conference by James Woudhuysen who was one of the speakers
the rest of the design institute site looks worth checking
came across this via Marc Retig's site - which I won't link to as he is in hte process of moving ;-)
Mental Models
excellent Motion Induced Blindness (MIB) demonstration!
in the latest InfoVis
- now what impact do all those roll-over button with animated gifs have I wonder...?

Loop: AIGA Journal of Interaction Design Education - The Media Design Graduate Program
re-design by Brenda Laurel - so not surprising to see they have achieved a very complete course!
this mirrors what I have said about multimedia design for ages - no point teaching tools - we should be teaching techniques - and the term multimedia is itself rather defunct (as what type of computing doesn't include aspects of mm?)
other articles in this issue are good too - particularly one by Mark Retig about designing his UID course!

>> summaries of summaries <<
interesting this constant re-grouping of prevous groups of links or posts - just goes to show how important being able to find things is!
this also came from GUUUI and is on InfoD too

Visual Metaphors
another interesting (if rather short and simplistic) piece from Inf@Vis! the digital magazine of InfoVis.net
where there is a link to:
The Myth of Metaphor by Alan Cooper
these provide a good companion to:
Metaphor: A Double-Edged Sword (May 2000) from the ACM digital library (which for some reason I can still access!)
or can be requested for personal use from:
http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/articles.htm where there are lots of other interesting articles written by William Hudson

Interactivity in the context of designed experiences
covers a lot of ground (and well)
found this having followed a reference to Heeter in a LGU QD300 lecture

GUUUI - The Interaction Designer's Coffee Break
This is new - and contains some quite interesting articless - I surprised myself by posting a 'review' of Where the Action Is by Paul Dourish.

back on the block - but not for poor old browsers...
actually - it is interesting to see quite how bad it looks in NS4.7
interesting to see the url containing layout descriptions - now how does that work...?

stumbleupon.com - personalized websurfing
from [ic] daily - this collaborative filtering thing is what I have been raving about for ages - interesting to see how you/they identify associations
I wanted to do this - but it doesn't work in NS4.7 - so will have to access via IE!
one day I will upgrade to a standards supporting modern browser...
maybe next week ¿-)

liked this piece about Prices so i posted a reponse - about the gift economy
Matt writes some craazy shit
and posts cool llinks
daily
long time no posts
been thinking about having the ' bottle to blag '
and accessibility stuff for a report :(
as James says -to paraphrase- reports are a sign of lack of action
- will find the think to that quote in the cafe one day...

Boxes and Arrows: The CHI/AIGA Experience Design Forum
interesting report from 1st ever ED Forum - written by George Olson
one talk was about a research project looking at two-hnaded interaction using mouse and track-ball with menus or icons
see: M. Beaudouin-Lafon, W.E. Mackay, Reification, Polymorphism and Reuse: Three Principles for Designing Visual Interfaces, In Proc. Advanced Visual Interfaces, Palermo, Italy, May 2000, ACM Press, pages 102-109. [pdf]

went to this talk by Jared Spool - tother day
was not mightily impressed - a lot fo the content had already been sent out as part of UIE's free newsletter - I even sent a mail to complain... haven't had a repsonse as yet - these design events that cannot practice what they preach - reminds me of the design for usability event - with no handouts or info on the web site - and a discussion board that was promised by never materialised :(
Information Foraging in Information Access Environments
old but interesting foraging article by Peter Pirolli and Stuart Card
found via - Usability: Jared Spool Presents Hard Evidence
which is also worth revisiting

PixelRaiders
David is attending this - i look forward to finding out what he discovers - funny to see that Liz Goodman from smartLAB is presenting and that the link to CSM doesn't work :)
they could do with some pixel traiders - to sort their site out - and there is very little info :(

EDGE Digerati: The WYSIWYG - Charles Simonyi
I really must read this interview with the creator of the first 'what you see is...' software. Now doing research at MSFT.
Dr. Simonyi has endowed the Charles Simonyi Professorship For The Understanding Of Science at Oxford University which is held by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins!

The Third Culture Beyond the Scientific Revolution by John Brockman
" The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are. "
just one of the many interesting looking things I found on the edge site (see prev post) - now just need to time to be able to read it...

some very interesting articles and people stored here
but the recent highlights show that Rupert Murdoch was present at the 2002 edge dinner!
so that sorta blows alot of the credibility out the window

Boxes and Arrows: Because we can
eventually kicks into action - now let's see whether the content 'stands up' like a box or 'falls flat' like an arrow - or vice versa i guess - 'sticks' in firmly like a well shot arrow or 'collapses' flat like a re-usable box ;)

I may follow up some of the others...

i wonder if these make it onto the DeSign blog?
