[IxDA Discuss] Reading Ahead - Design Competition @ Core77

2009-09-23 Thread Steve Portigal
We're psyched to be working with Core77 on a design competition that
is about taking our Reading Ahead project (user research findings
about the reading experience and associated opportunities -
http://www.portigal.com/series/reading-ahead ) into developing
concepts for possible future products, services, and more. I think
it's really important for our fields to have artifacts, examples,
experiences, etc. that can illustrate the connection between research
and design.

Read more about the competition at

I'd really love to see entries from folks here!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] SXSW Panel Picker- please vote for my panels!!!

2009-08-17 Thread Steve Portigal
I have two panels for voting as well. I'm really excited about
attending this year (I haven't been before, although a number of my
fellow panelists have). 

Culture Kicks Our Ass: How To Kick Back
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/3629
Please vote for this panel from Steve Portigal and D. P. Haine.
We%u2019ll explore the different cultural challenges that
breakthrough products must overcome: emergent usage behaviors that
are impossible to predict, a global customer base and cultural
barriers inside the corporation that suffocate innovation. We%u2019ll
also share best practices for addressing each challenge.

FAIL: When User Research Goes Horribly, Horribly Wrong
http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/3765
Please vote for this panel from Steve Portigal, Portigal Consulting
Nate Bolt, Bolt|Peters Dan Saffer, Kicker Studio Aviva Rosenstein,
Ask.com Mark Trammell, Digg Best practices for user research are not
hard to come by, but experience is the ideal way to develop mastery.
And with experience inevitably comes failure. Embarrassing, awkward,
hilarious failure that gives the gift of self-improvement. We%u2019ll
share our own unvarnished examples and what they taught us.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Interaction09: Dont' forget, international phone plan!

2009-01-27 Thread Steve Portigal
Of course, you could just be insanely cheap like me and refuse to use
any roaming services at all while in Vancouver. Skype from the hotel
room and email/twitter from iPhone when there's WiFi (and there will
be confernece WiFi, right???)

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Can good design save the world?

2008-10-29 Thread Steve Portigal
http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/130/mission-critical.html is a
good article about Hilary Cottam and had gave a more tangible spin to
a discussion I'm pretty tired of (because there seems to be little
actual result but a lot of weepy chest thumping).
