lifesaver

On the PhD front, I visited with Prof. Terry Winograd and Bill Verplank at Stanford University, and spoke with them about their work educating for IxD and designing Stanford’s d.School.

While in the bay area I also visited Danny Stillion at IDEO Palo Alto, spoke with Dan Saffer about his new studio and upcoming book with O’Reilly Media, and led a lunchtime workshop on links between IxD academia and industry with Adaptive Path.

Later, in Vancouver, I worked on visions for the Interaction Design Association with the rest of the IxDA board of directors, and  pre-conference planning with the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at SFU, for Interaction09.

I am now very happy to be back in the land of real mobile bandwidth.
