handwriting capture with digitizer vs. Tablet PC

I'm working on a proposal that involves capturing handwriting -- not
recognizing it, just capturing it -- in a clinical trial setting, where
the doctor is "facing" a patient via video conference. (There would be
forms with check boxes as well.) The team is debating how to do this. On
the one hand, we don't need a tablet PC, because it's not a portable
environment, so a plain digitizing tablet connected to a bigger PC seems
better.

hi all,

I'm a designer and academic working in melbourne .au and wondered if
there were more people in town who'd be interested in regular get-
togethers around IxD and UX etc...?

if so, I was thinking it might be good to kick off 2008 with something
round mid to late Jan.

feel free to mail me off list and I'll collate & redistribute etc.

** will repeat this call in Jan for those in

Your favorite rating interface

Don't get me wrong, I love stars, but I feel like the 5 star rating
interface is getting a little old. Especially because these kind of ratings
average out to be in the middle over time and therefore aren't very
informative.

Anyone seen any interesting rating interfaces lately? I'm especially
interested in rating of CONTENT on a site (more than an ITEM you might buy
or have bought).

Thanks for any links. I can compile and send out to the list if people seem
interested.

Kim

Uh, who designed that?

Here's a work/process/confrontation scenario for the group that some of you may have experience with, and I'm seeking advice on.

I'm working on an important redesign project for my company and found out recently
that a project manager (not a designer and not directly involved in the project) spent some of his/her own time
coming up with a functioning wireframe prototype for this project.

Board Positions

As a current board member and our treasurer I want to encourage everyone
to consider joining the board, especially colleagues from outside the
US. Board membership is a great experience.

With the help of this growing community we are trying to build a home
for the development of the discipline and a place for each of us to
grow, network and learn.
