Don Norman&#8217;s seminal work The design of everyday things analyses the design of many objects, such as telephones and doors.

I&#8217;ve started to think about resurrecting my old site that died about a year ago

		<description><![CDATA[A fundamental question for me relating to the information architect role is how we fit in to and interact with the wider web team, and to what extent IAs should be involved throughout the web process.
Information architecture is in many ways the &#8216;bridge&#8217; between technology and design
My own opinion is that information architecture is in [...]]]></description>

It seems to me that inter-linking between blogs is exactly what the web is about. Democracy of content, freedom of speech [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two books that have changed the way I look at design.
The design of everyday things
By Don Norman
This has to come first in my book recommendations because for me it is an absolutely seminal work. It will totally change the way you look at the world and how it is designed.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I came across a dropdown menu in a web form for a yes/no question, and it didn&#8217;t sit well with me. Far too much for the user to think about when making their choice.
To enable the user to express a preference in this way you could use:

Radio buttons
A checkbox
A dropdown menu

		<description><![CDATA[A few ideas for blogs I could write (I&#8217;ll hyperlink these if I ever write them):

Career specialisation
The role of wireframes &#38; documentation
Is it important to challenge conventions?
Comparison of various software, visio, omnigraffle, axure, smartdraw etc.
Tech: setting up a development environment on Mac OS X (already written)

Projects:

Visit London IA strategy
Online scrapbooking
