Hi, Scott!

Karen and I are interested in meeting you at the Social night on 10/12. We have to arrange babysitting, but it seems likely that we’ll be able to do that.

>> that would have saved me oh so much suffering.

i’m not sure there any substitute for suffering (in this context). i often find it’s the suffering that leads to a greater depth of understanding. like telling kids not to drive too fast or drink too much or …

nevertheless i would have liked to attend but i can’t swim that far.

I’ll be at the IDSA event (obviously). Thanks for helping set that up with BostonCHI. I think you may have done more than just help make an event happen, but perhaps you’ve helped unite two Boston design organizations, pretty cool. I’d like to try and make it to MIT at noon on the 12th, I’ll be there if work doesn’t get in the way.

Keep me posted about the pub night, I’m in.

Hi — I’m local in the Boston area and may make it to your CHI talk and/or social night. I’m a bit amused, because in cruising your essays page I hit your writeup on the “what you wish you’d been taught in school” which you say you gave at UW — I actually did a very similar talk at UW in 2004 as well, which I have posted in a powerpoint on my own site, “The Hiring Problem: Academic HCI vs. the Real World of Practice.” It’s, shall we say, less polished and more energetic in tone than yours, but very similar in spirit.

Hope to meet you,
Lynn

A Razorfish stop? We’re supposedly working with their A-team and I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed. We’re actually pulling the plug on several projects that were going to go their way with little competition and handed them to internal designers. I’m sure the Google meeting will be much more interesting. Wish I could be a fly on the wall. =)

[...] Over the next few weeks leading up to the book’s April release (date tba) I’ll dig in on some of these themes, shed light on the myths, and give you a preview of what’s to come. A book tour like last time (west coast and east) is in the works, and I’ll post more details as I have them. Thanks to all of you who have commented here along the way: It’s made a difference and I’m grateful. [...]
