Boxes and Arrows: It Seemed Like The Thing To Do At The Time

June 27, 2007 10:05 AM | Posted in: Building Blocks , Ideas , User Experience (UX)

The Lessons From Failure Series (curated by Christian Crumlish) kicked off today at Boxes and Arrows, leading with my meditation on being an entrepreneur and what it means to face failure as a member of a rigidly defined society, titled It Seemed Like The Thing To Do At The Time. Stay tuned for three further installments from talented fellow panelists.

Also, look for part two of my series on designing healthy user experiences for portals using the IA Building Blocks in early July. Part one - The Challenge of Dashboards and Portals - describing the structural and usability weaknesses of flat architectures, was published in December.

Many thanks to the hard working volunteers at B+A for creating a forum for these ideas and the community around them!
