UXnet comes to London
You’re invited to the first monthly social meeting in London for the User Experience Design community.
Date: Thursday, 2 Dec 2004
Time: 7:00 PM
Place: University College London Interaction Centre (UCLIC)
31/32 Alfred Place, near Goodge Street Station
Full directions available on the UCLIC website
Cost: FREE
RSVP required. Please email to confirm your attendance. This will ensure you can get into UCLIC.
The evening will begin with a presentation by Kevin Cheng of OK/Cancel. Kevin’s presentation will be followed by socialising, networking, and engaging at College Arms, 18 Store Street, right around the corner. We’re also happy to announce the UXnet guest of honour for the evening: Louis Rosenfeld, co-author of Information Architecture for the World Wide Web.
Presentation Title: The User Experience Community is Thinking Too Big Summary: Blurred lines, segregation, overlap: these are all terms used to describe the state of the user experience community. Dozens of organizations exist, each claiming to represent some or all of the user experience community, and each claiming some unique value. Is the solution to create a new organization to bring them all together, or are we thinking too big?
This is a UXnet event and was organized through the coordinated efforts and resources of AIfIA, ASIS&T, AIGA, IxDG, STC UK, UK UPA and BCS-HCI, LondonIA, London Usability and UCLIC. If you represent an organization that you feel should also be part of future UXnet event coordination in London, or an organization that would like to host future UXnet events, please contact .
Four more years
Four more years of innocent people abused and tortured at Guantanamo Bay because of a careless government. Four more years of mothers and children being killed because they happen to live in countries that don’t abide by American politics. Many of those who survive will be homeless. Four more years of westerners held prisoner, tortured and killed by militant groups who are tired of America’s aggressive politics. Four more years of citizens losing their civil rights simply because of their sexual orientation. Four more years of imported foreign energy instead of investing in renewable energy sources. Four more years of a politician who puts a political agenda before a nation in need.
Four. More. Years.
Special thanks to Tony Blow for bringing The Independent’s front page to my attention. Yes, The Independent is actually an independent newspaper.
