Re: [IxDA Discuss] I'm designing in Visio for the last time
I couldn't agree more to Håkans comment about SketchFlow. The whole Visio w/f to interactive prototype work flow might be just s much easier with this. http://videos.visitmix.com/MIX09/C01F Its a somewhat bad demo as it looks like they try to do a web site inside of an application but you get the picture. It fits very well with our studio work flow set-up with ixd graphic designer developer. And it doesn't exclude CS stuff either. Blend3 eats both bitmaps and vector graphics from CS natively now. I see a future killer here if SketchFlow delivers what it promises. .Niklas twitter.com/niklasw . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] What's your favorite memory of Interaction 08?
Connecting in person with loads of people I only met in other mediums before. Meeting with peers in the field that you as a European seldom get a chance to do and the general feeling of being part of something big. The local leaders dinner was also a true feel of community force. I remember meeting Josh Seiden in person for the 1st time (with whom I at that point had shared a IxDA board position since one year) and upon him saying Hi Niklas! asking: I'm sorry, you are who?. I blame it on the mist of high fever and the strange strong U.S. Pharmacy pain relievers I took to suppress it... My hidden agenda for Vancouver is def to make up for all the partying and beers with peers I missed because of this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Twitter
Isn't Twitter (currently) very much about following fellow _English speaking_ tweeters? In Sweden, and to my knowledge Europe (correct me if I'm wrong), twitter hasn't taken of(on?) at all. For various reasons, but a big one I guess being language. Having my 'local' friends following my English tweets would just be silly having my Turkish or Dutch or German or XXX friends look at texts like: Jag åt en suverän blodpudding i killarnas omklädninsgrum i morse, equally silly, i promise you :) Give me automatic direct translations of tweets. When I decide to follow, I also choose what language I want to see it in. That could actually ad a layer of humor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxD(a) meetings in London
Hi Matt et al. Sounds like a plan! We did pretty much the same thing in Stockholm. I spoke some to Mikhail Goldgaber from Avenuea-Razorfish (cc) back in Savannah who also expressed interest in doing something IxDA local in London. Just let me know if there's anything we can do to support you, other then cheering you on ;) .Niklas -- Niklas Wolkert Director, IxDA Local leader, IxDA Stockholm http://ixda.org Sr. Interaction Designer Ergonomidesign http://ergonomidesign.com +46 (0)733 611 227 On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 08:42:32, Matt Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi - I came back from the IxDA conference in Savannah with just the thought that perhaps there should be a regular IxDA meetup in London.

[IxDA Discuss] Local leaders dinner @ interaction08
Hi all In the invitation from the IxDA Board to the Local groups Task Force a couple of weeks ago we also invited all active local leaders coming to our conference in Savannah to join us for a dinner on Friday night. So far we're 14 people going. We're planning to have a 3-4hr event to socialize, exchange ideas and to talk about your needs and the things to come. Please RSVP to either me and/or Josh (joshseiden(at)yahoo.com) before Wednesday this week. All the best! .Niklas -- Niklas Wolkert Director, IxDA Local leader, IxDA Sweden http://ixda.org Sr. Interaction Designer Ergonomidesign http://ergonomidesign.com +46 (0)733 611 227 *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

[IxDA Discuss] Local Groups Task Force / Local Leaders Dinner
Hello members and leaders of IxDA As we stated in last December (see http://ixda.org/discuss.php?post=23183), one of the important 2008 focus areas for the IxDA Board is to further develop the local initiatives. To get an understanding of your needs and to create a plan for how to address this area, we are inviting all former, current and potential local leaders/initiators to a private discussion on how to best move forward with local initiatives. Have you thought about starting a local chapter but aren't sure how to do it? Do you have ideas and the drive to create something that can help local chapters out? Do you have what you need to get going? If you are currently running a local chapter, what is going well and what is not? What support would you like to have from the Board or global IxDA membership? If you used to run a local chapter, what sort of things would have helped you out, and what were some of the challenges that you encountered? All these questions are examples of discussions we'd like to have with you. We'll start with gathering everybody in the IxDA Boards' online forum, and create ourselves a Local Groups Task Force. We intend for this Local Groups Task Force to be a standard part of our work with a first deadline to deliver results by summer 2008. By results we intend for and hope that some of the identified needs are solved within this time span. We also want to conduct regular meetings to secure momentum. The goals of the Local Groups Task Force are to - Gather and cluster relevant information on local groups' needs - Come up with suitable supporting functions infrastructure to address these needs - Identify sub-tasks for how to create these supporting functions (addressing costs, resources and time) - Prioritize the various sub-tasks based on feasibility and level of need - Plan and execute implementation projects If you would like to help out with the Local Groups Task Force, please send a mail to me and you'll be invited to the forum. As hinted previously, for those of you who are local leaders and/or plan to participate in the LGTF and are coming to the Interaction08 conference the board would like to invite to a local leaders dinner on Friday night at a restaurant in Savannah to meet and talk about our challenges and opportunities. We would love to see you there and if you want to come, please RSVP to me by February the 1st.

[IxDA Discuss] Haptikos tactile touch screen technology
Some of you may have already seen this: http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/06/nokia-shows-off-haptikos-tactile-touch-screen-technology/ I wonder if this 0.1mm movement follows the graphical shape behind it? Use shades of grey to tell the 'height' of a button maybe? Would that be of any help at these levels? In any case interesting stuff. -- Niklas Wolkert *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
