New local group in Porto Alegre / Brazil

Is there anyone around living in Porto Alegre interested in joining a local group? The idea would be gathering people interested in learning together, sharing experiences and certainly meeting at some local pub from time to time J

Why "vs."? Why not both? Command line vs. menu driven interface

(I'll save my Symbolics fanboying for later... :-)

I still don't get why it has to be "cli VERSUS gui", when each has its
merits.

Command line or GUI

hi all

I was wondering what could be the possible circumstances where a command line interface would be more suitable or better than a GUI.

I am working on redesign of a product having a command line interface and as of now it seems users are pretty comfortable with that.

any thoughts ?

thanks

Wood gatherers, boat architects, or sailing experience designers?

Hi David,

IMHO, what Joshua request is also quite important . For a association like
IxDA, it at least should do more than coffee time talking ( while most guys
love the coffee time talks),

1. enable more creative case based discussing ( but if there's consciously
mediated case analyze and arrangement )
2.

IxDA NYC – Tues, Mar. 31 – Marc Rettig - How to Change Complicated Stuff (e.g., the World)

In the midst of a global conversation about change, many designers are
pondering their own impact in the world. How does our experience in software
interfaces, web sites, and physical products prepare us to address the
profound issues humanity is facing? These issues involve many complex
systems, systems too big to fit into the scope of any single company or
institution.

roles within a start up

This is just one person's perspective... specific to the narrow niche of
tech start ups, but the perception held is still valid (we tend towards deep
instances over aggregates don't we?). As an interaction designer, user
experience designer, information architect or just a designer... where do
you see your place in this picture?

The Hat List

- Visionary/Architect. Idea generation, shape features, repositioning,
market fit, competitive landscape, research.
- Lead Developer(s). AKA Hackers. A good place to have a pair of jelled
programmers.

The People's Front of Design (was JJG's IA Summit 2009 Keynote)

Great clip. I love it!!!

look at my response to Josh. What is funny is that as the situation
subsides, people are chiming in with messages like this.

It shows me that people don't get it. Arguing is not destructive.
Arguing is learning. It is sketching in language.

The most obvious brilliant examples in this conversation for me were
from Jon Kolko and Chris Fahey. The energy created through the
passionate back & forth is not without use. It is a means of working
out difficult issues, which are very hard to express.
