"It just highlights to me this notion of people are doing interaction design without knowing they are doing it."
Absolutely. When I just read that - I was reminded of something Dan S. wrote in the first chapter of Designing for Interfaces that argued that exact same point. People who don't even know what interaction design is - are thinking about and doing interaction design - some very competently. And from a previous conversation about IxD versus ID, I want to ecco Mark Schraad's comment that a lot of that discussion/definitions is also handed pretty eloquently by Mssr. Saffer. If any of you haven't read it - shame on you! Seriously - it's worth the $$ to pick it up - because he delves into all these things that we discuss everyday.

Using real-time vectors, gradients, and animations is something that a styling engine needs to support: and it's something that CSS simply is not made to handle." -- ~ will "Where you innovate, how you innovate, and what you innovate are design problems" ------------------------------------------------------- will evans user experience architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- On Feb 1, 2008 8:57 AM, David Malouf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://tinyurl.com/ysxtyg > > Hi guys, the above link is to a blog post by a UI Developer blogger.
