Now that it's safely over, and Jason can't drive out here to cause trouble, I can report that my talk to the Usability Professionals Association, "Information Architecture Meets Industrial Design: Working Collaboratively Across Disciplines" was very well-received, and more fun to write than I'd expected. I talked about my experience working on the IQ/MAX turret, a specialized phone for financial traders.
It was a presentation. It was written in Keynote. And yet I keep calling it a "paper." Old habits are very strong indeed.
I'll be giving a revised version of the same paper talk at the IA Summit next month, so, should you be really interested in information design, come on down -- I'm speaking on Monday morning, late enough that I'll be fully caffienated, but not so late (I hope) that people will be ready to leave.
