DUX 2003 notes

I’m posting my thoughts from the Designing for User Experiences conference (DUX 2003) I attended last week, on my personal website. My notes from day 1 (Thursday) and day 2 (Friday) are already online. My day 3 notes are forthcoming….

Thanks for your comments guys…they jogged me into remembering that I spoke to both of you the first day of the conference. I added these encounters to the entry.

Hey Brad,

The winking woman was Laura, (don’t recall last name) who is doing sales work with Adaptive Path. Used to work at New Architect before it folded.

And yes, the pen was crap, but you’re missing the point Steve – it looked all cool and shiny-designy

Today I threw my DUX pen in the garbage because the silver cone that is at the business end was just barely threaded on, and in my second and third usages, it crapped out and wrecked what I was writing. Made so poorly that if you tightened it even slightly beyond it’s perfect point it would become entirely loose. So any vibration from using it would result in it getting loose.

As Neil Young said “Piece! Of! Crap!”
