JOB: Interaction designer, Chicago, The University of Chicago, full-time

Hello all,

The University of Chicago NSIT Web Services department needs a highly
creative and fun interaction designer to work with clients, users and a team
of visual designers and programmers to build websites and web applications.
The interaction designer will coordinate the web application development
lifecycle from start to finish, developing business requirements,
interaction flows and wireframes with a focus on user-centered design.

Do you have a love of process improvement and the skills to move smoothly
from an idea to wireframes to XHTML and CSS?

unique search result interfaces

I was wondering if anyone has seen any unique or interesting search result
interfaces that break away from the linear model of listing results. The
only thing I have seen recently is: http://searchme.com

Also, in your opinion how usable and/or effective is the list model in
communicating search results?

To Hang or not to hang... in the gutter.

Should check boxes and radio buttons hang in the gutter (treated as bullets and
pull quotes) or be indented?

We're designing an open source survey/data collection engine and trying to nail
correct type and UI practice.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Juhan

I don't really agree, but I was inspired by Todd's comment in the
previous thread to consider this from the opposite end of the
spectrum.

IxDA Curriculum (Was: Importance of MastersDegree for IxD Professionals)

After reading the thread on higher education, I went to the HFES.org
website to find a local University and inquire about their Human Factors
program.

I thought you might be interested in the response I received from the
professor:

I think it is a great idea to pursue an advanced HF degree. Our program
was a very good one and would have been a good fit for you. But because
of the state budget cuts, FIU has decided to terminate our entire
department. So the program will not exist after next year.

An alternative phrase to "Buy Now"?

Hi -

I am currently working on a website for a client in the
'spiritual/healing/meditation" space and she has a playful, whimsical
yet vibrant, interactive website with "guided journeys" that unfold
insight to one's personal development through a game-like interface
where one choses tokens and is able to enter various rooms,
environments, etc.

The site has about 30k+ registered users, more than half of whom are
active each month, with 1/3 of them returning daily and an equal
amount spending 20+ minutes on the site with each visit. So, plenty
of active users and deep users.
