http://livlab.com/thinkia Wed, 28 May 2008 00:37:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I recently blogged about women speaking in conferences (or the lack thereof). Since then I have engaged in some fantastic conversations about it. I heard from several women and men on the topic via twitter, blog comments, emails and in person -- everyone has something to say. Either an opinion ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2008/05/women-the-issue-in-women-issues/ I am going through a big pile of paper I've accumulated in the last couple of months. It's interesting to do this because without fail, every time, I'll see repetitive notes on the same thing, which usually indicates there is a topic that's recurring but nothing is being done about ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2008/05/speak-up/ Being part of the privileged few that are overwhelmed by social networks (contrary from friends' popular belief that everyone has that problem), I've started to experience level of noise as I use various systems that was not there before. I have always jumped on the alpha and beta band-wagons and am ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2008/05/social-noise/ Last time I blogged I announced I was transitioning to my new role with Comcast Interactive Media. Since then the IA Summit happened and I have kicked off three fantastic projects. If anything the past two months have been a huge burst of energy and excitement for me. While I ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2008/04/these-are-exciting-times/ Today I have the great pleasure to announce I'm concluding an extremely important phase in my life, managing the Information Architecture and Usability for Comcast Interactive Media, and starting a new one, as Principal of Information Architecture for the same Comcast Interactive Media. Yes, you read that right: I'm not going ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2008/02/hello-world-im-back/ I was just reading Andrew Hinton's blog - whose thinking usually floats on a plane above the average smart person - where he quotes from an article discussing the ideas of Jonathan Haidt and talks a bit about Lakoff, and it made me think of a recent observation. Mel and I ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2007/10/language-and-moral-dimensions/ I'm thinking that a popular sentence in blogs is "I haven't posted anything in ages" (or some variant). Actually, Google tells me "I haven't posted" occurs 1,160,000 times. It doesn't imply we are all procrastinators, just that we feel guilty for not posting when we get back to doing it. ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2007/06/livs-no-fuss-brisket/ I use post-its for a lot of my "wall work", but we ran out of walls at the office, so I bought 98"x42" sheets of 0.5" thick black foamboards. We'll use these to create impromptu project war rooms and I'd like to add more than post-its (mostly just regular A4 ... http://livlab.com/thinkia/2007/04/what-is-it-called/ I had a product idea today. Something I had thought of before in terms of "wouldn't it be nice if someone did..." but it's been a while and nobody has done anything, so in the spirit of my ideawall, I took some time and sketched my idea out.
