all commentsEffective Mapping pictures?
Did anyone take any pictures at the Effective Mapping workshop? My note seem a little disjointed and I'm trying to get a visual of how one of the maps looked (just the post-it ones we did on the tables).
If anyone took photos, please let me know.

Say it ain't so
Currently listening to Weezer's song, it now invariably reminds me of that Microsoft party on Saturday night of the conference.
I guess it was the easiest song to play on Rock Band, oh Good Times :-D

Response to transfer over to Faceboooook
Nobody's taking the site down, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't transfer your contacts to a permanent home. Look for the VCard export on your my network page.

Reflections on Conference
What a terrific conference! I must say, I'm really pumped up about our field and am actively sharing what I learned with my team. I posted my key takeaways on my blog here if you're interested:

@Vishal lyer: Hi Vishal, to be honest, I've been putting off answering that question. The normal rule here is that the crowdvine site gets suspended, but sorta maintained for a while, but b/c of our rabid habit of talking our host is thinking of beta testing an "alumni" feature that would be brand new just for us.

@Joni Rustulka: My fault for not getting to meet, I am so sorry...we'll have to next year!
@ji kim: Hi,
As you requested, I have uploaded the PDF version of my presentation on my blog: http://www.ssdesigninteractive.com/blog/?p=113 (the small link below the video). Its about 30 mb due to the highres images.
Also I have put it up on slideshare (which might be faster then downloading the PDF):

Capturing the vibe
Interaction08 was a watershed event for the current generation of designers. People from all areas of the discipline converged and saw what they have in common: a serious interest in the purposeful exploration of alternatives that can lead to cons...

@Don Habas: the hat stays, along with the Patriots pajamas on my man here...although you could consider them a choking hazard these days...kinda like an Eli jersey
@Cindy Chastain: This one might be useful too: Digital Storytelling: The Narrative Power of Visual Effects in Film
by Shilo T. McClean (Amazon).
@Cindy Chastain: This one is a pretty good book too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262134659/ref=pd_luc_0000202408051000262134659
@Pauric: aussie rules pool? you do NOT want to see me in those tiny shorts... believe me.
@Deneva Goins: Hey Deneva...no I haven't seen it. Thanks for the rec. It looks really interesting.

@Cindy Chastain: Hi Cindy.. you might enjoy the book Pause and Effect. I no longer have a copy, but check it out if you havent seen it already: http://www.pause-effect.com/
@Angel Anderson: Yes, The Fitts surely went down in (IxDA) musical history! Totally worth the humiliation. Next time let's pick a song we actually know though... and give ourselves a fighting chance ;)
@Susan Wyche: Susan, it was really nice to run into you! I regret missing your talk, but I will definitely check it out once they post them all online. Best of luck with the rest of your research :)

Response to Some "Take Aways" from the conference ...
Alan Cooper:
- programmers respect competence not authority -- they can't be managed, only "facilitated"
- there is no real scarcity of time and money, yet we are confronted with that scarcity every day
Gretchen Anderson
- the difference between a newspaper report and a story
- synthesize detail
- "don't be afraid to be wrong, be afraid of not making a statement"
Carl DiSalvo
- most people have no experience with design: you don't go home and prototype dinner, you just make it
Bill DeRouchey
- make a specific button the "hero"
Gabriel White
- provide people with an understanding of their own behavior
Bill Buxton
- Your value lies in your distinctiveness
Aza Raskin
- don't force users to ask for more content, just give it to them!
- create a "moment of delight"
Jenny Lam
- software is both art & craft
- emotion and idea are supreme
- designers think with their hands and have the ability to communicate through actions

@Robert Barlow-Busch: hey robert, let me know if you're ever heading to toronto and we can make plans to meet.. i'll do the same if i'm heading your way.
I was wondering how Crowdvine will be used after the conference when this post came up in the online forum
"All of Adaptive Path's events for 2008 (UXI, MX, UX Week) will be using Crowdvine. If you already have an account, just join the new conference's community. All of your history in Crowdvine s stitched together for a cohesive experience across all participating conferences."
Nice!
@Meredith Noble: I'm glad we took the big risk even though it meant getting ousted in a giant fireball of musical failure. Besides you came up with the perfect IxDA band name, so what else did we really need?
Flickr photos abound!
If people want to check out all the photos people are taking (at least those on flickr), check them out here.
