Been Gone So Long
Sorry it’s been so quiet around here - I’ve been up to no good…
Richard Anderson posted the program for the CHI2002|AIGA Experience Design Forum on the BayCHI Announcements Listserv, and it is a doozy - I am now officially regretting that I’m passing up the conference.
However, there are some lesser-known (to me) names on the program, and like anyone with Google as their home page, I did some searching…
John Rheinfrank Interviews Don Norman
A couple of years old. Norman talks about how he’s come to understand the importance of designers, how information appliances are the way to go, and what it was like making his CD-ROM.
John is actually the one who’s going to be at the forum, but it was a good interview, so I threw it in. He’s a Professor of Marketing at Kellogg (Northwestern), and was an author of a chapter in Bringing Design to Software. Sadly, his chapter isn’t online, unlike most of the others. But there are some PDFs on value chains and a “business innovation framework” from the ‘99 Advance for Design Forum.
Sonic Rim: Publications
Liz Sanders will be part of a panel on Research, Analysis, and Design.

Some beautiful webapp design and rumination on designing experience from Angela Shen-Hsieh.
A few of the other presenters:
Wendy Mackay
Ramana Rao
Nico Macdonald
Since I’m obviously a bit link-happy, here’s something else I just ran across:
Celebrities in Cognitive Science
“Writings by and about leading thinkers in cognitive science, and critics and observers of the philosophy of mind”. Come for the Laurel, Norman, Turkle, Winograd, and Lakoff; stay for the Schank, Piaget, Varela, Bruner, and others.
