Feeling the FOMO for Interaction 23 in Zurich this week, but grateful to the organizers for giving my virtual self a chance to share an overview of my doctoral research on Friday. Here's a preview of some of what I'm planning to talk about: link.medium.com/n5pBfhUPOxb #interaction23

Many IxD practitioners feel that the horizons of digital design work are shrinking, feeling disillusioned, burned out, and helpless. Join @alexgrantwright in his talk about Regenerative UX, and how it can incorporate sustainable, long-term perspectives in our work. #IxD23

Thoroughly enjoyed this piece by @mikekuniavsky on the future of computational design, and the challenges of moving beyond the Modernist mindset that undergirds so much of contemporary design practice. link.medium.com/TonAlQzsEnb

@ytlee Thanks @ytlee! Glad you enjoyed the Otlet book. As it happens, I’m just wrapping up revisions for a second edition of Glut, to be released in e-book form later this year. Stay tuned!

@alexgrantwright Loved your book on Paul Otlet and have a hardcopy of it sitting on my shelf. Just wondering though, is there any particular reason why your book Glut is not available in any ebook format?

@peterme In the weird coincidence dept, we just watched it last weekend for the first time in 20-odd years. Big hit with the boys, who as jaded 8-10 y.o.’s find Star Trek hopelessly cheesy and loved seeing it parodied. They particularly dug the Tony Shalhoub character.
