    WISCONSIN

    You’re going to love coming to Madison, until kickoff. Put it this way, a weekend in Madison is going to beat the bejesus out of going to Ames, Manhattan or Stillwater. Great town, fun fans, delicious brats.

    The problem is, Wisconsin has even bigger and stronger linemen than you do. Do you realize that the last lineman you had taken in the first round of the NFL draft was 27 years ago? Dean
    Steinkuhler? The Badgers have had five in that time! I’m afraid

    Wisconsin is you, Nebraska, only with much better parties and more wins.

  • “The most surprising takeaway from the recent Pew Research Center study, “Social Networking Sites and Our Lives,” wasn’t that 80% of Americans regularly use the Internet or that 60% of web users have a social network account—double the number in 2008, with the vast majority on Facebook (52%) and Twitter (33%). Nor is it that people have gone gaga over smartphones, with one in three Americans owning one. Rather, it’s the idea that the Internet, in particular social networks, engender trust, and the more time you spend on them the more trusting you become.”

  • Futurist Ray Kurzweil says technology merging humans and computers is advancing on many levels to enhance both body and mind. He talks with WSJ’s Andy Jordan about what he envisions for the year 2029 and beyond, why he thinks humans will one day live forever, and even what post-“singularity” sex will be like.

  • A photo from this morning’s research trip to the Marin county recorder in the Marin civic center. Coincidentally it’s the only building that I’ve ever been stung by a bee in.

  • Data is the new media, itself. It’s what we’re going to be swimming in. It’s what the economy is built on.

    Steady Trend

    Before looking forward, let’s take a quick look back to see how this new discipline fits into a simplified history of user experience:
    Human-computer interaction is about paying attention to people and their relationship with computing.

    Information architecture is about making things findable.
    Interaction design is about making things usable.
    Content strategy is about making things meaningful.
    Experience design is about making things seamless.
    Persuasive design is about making things influential.

    The trend goes towards deeper meanings and bigger impacts.
