After dealing with various crises at the 9-to-5, bronchitis, a cheap hotel in Albany, NY, a coolant leak in my car, Skaneateles, NY in a snowstorm, and more bronchitis, I’ve officially caught up with the rest of my life and finally feel like I can blog again.

Lots has happened since my last post here. Facebook launched, and then relaunched (and then re-relaunched) Beacon. Google launched Open Social on which LinkedIn launched their own platform.

I mention these things because they dovetail nicely into what has been occupying so much of my time. Specifically, I’ve been spent in the last few months immersed in either designing total experiences or being hindered by applications that have been organically grown without much thought to their experience at all.

It’s been a very tiresome, but very educational experience.

I’ll be spending much of my time here detailing some of the lessons I’ve been learning, and (hopefully) they will coincide with what others in my discipline have been experiencing.
