User and Customer Experience hat

This blogging hat is where I try to connect the broad user experience topic (encompassing HCI, usability, IA, design, writing, branding, and so on) with the even broader worlds of business, technology, society, etc.

I invented the name "Experienceologist" for this role, as a bit of a joke, but I am no longer using that term.


Presenter and speaker hat

This blog is for updates on my presentations and how to download them (look for "attachments"). Also, I am slowly adding presentations to Slideshare - the darling of the IA world.


Information architecture hat

This blog is when I have my IA hat on: navigation, wireframes, taxonomies, content management and other "down in the trenches" work.

IBM employee hat

This blog is where I posted when I was focused on my employer, IBM. I was on various forms of the corporate web User Experience Design team from 2001 to 2012.

I am not planning on adding any more entries to this blog after leaving IBM.

This is a personal blog, of course. "The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent IBM's positions, strategies or opinions."


Toledo User Experience Professional hat

This blog is for when I have my local (Toledo, Ohio) hat on. I will concentrate on pointing out activities for other user experience professionals in the area (and within the Ohio-Michigan region).

Every once in a while I will comment on something else local: politics, business, gossip, etc.


UX Community Survey Results, Part 1

Back in March, I published a survey to get insights into what people in the Toledo region needed to help them create better user experiences. We have gotten 43 replies, so it seems like a good time to start analyzing the results and sharing them. This write-up will just cover the "needs" part: "ideas" results will come later. Just the data, no interpretation yet.

BGSU last week

I spent most of last week on the campus of BGSU. Lots of different things, from Sibs N Kids to graphic design portfolios to playing hockey.

Reframing IA at IA Summit

I am looking forward to the IA Summit next week. My 13th, out of 14. Mostly going to catch-up with colleagues, learn, sight-see with the family, and talk about business opportunities.
