		<title>The user experience of the World Cup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I write this I&#8217;m coming to the end of a great week in South Africa where I&#8217;ve been watching the World Cup in Cape Town. It&#8217;s occurred to me that the World Cup is so successful because it gets the basics right and is so well organised. Here I&#8217;ve decided to share a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>My review of UX Intensive Amsterdam 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I got back from the UX Intensive training course run by Adaptive Path in Amsterdam.

		<title>Consultancy skills training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last couple of days I attended a consultancy skills training course run by my employer, EMC Consulting. It was a 2-day residential course set in the very smart grounds of Sunningdale Park, near Ascot in Berkshire. Around fifteen consultants from across the company attended, and most of us had never met before. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>The inaugural UX People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I attended the first ever UX People event in London. The venue was the lovely King&#8217;s Place, a new entertainment and conference venue by the Grand Union canal. It was organised by Zebra People, a recruitment consultancy specialising in user experience recruitment. I&#8217;ll whizz through the presentations and workshops, just giving a few throughts.

		<title>Working with Bunnyfoot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m working with Bunnyfoot, a user experience and usability testing agency at their head office in Didcot, Oxfordshire. It&#8217;s interesting for me to visit the company&#8217;s labs, as I&#8217;ve had quite a bit of contact with them over the years. Firstly when I was at VisitLondon.com, they did the user personas and usability testing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life as a consultant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just finished my first 2 months working as a consultant. On 1st September 2009 I started work at EMC Consulting, the number 2 digital agency in the UK (according to the NMA top 100 list). Life as a consultant definitely seems different to working in an agency. I’ve jotted down a few of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My first usability testing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since reading Steve Krug&#8217;s Don&#8217;t make me think a few years ago, I&#8217;ve wanted to run my own usability testing sessions. Usability testing is where you sit with people who have never used a site before, (preferably not web professionals) and discuss the site with them as they try and use it. Often their [...]]]></description>

		<title>The user experience of a toilet on South West Trains</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whitney Hess&#8217;s recent post about the user experience of a staircase reminded me that user experience design is everywhere and affects us everyday. Don Norman&#8217;s seminal work The design of everyday things analyses the design of many objects, such as telephones and doors. I came across this terrible design recently and had to share it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Structuring my presence on the web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I started I draw boxes I&#8217;ve realised that I&#8217;d like to have more on my website than just information architecture resources. Which leads me to wonder what the best way to structure my site is. I&#8217;ve started to think about resurrecting my old site that died about a year ago It&#8217;s great having an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should IAs be involved thoughout the web development process?</title>
		<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 [...]]]></description>
