  • Southwest Airlines Spirit Mag Mentions MetaMe

    in

    The October issue of Southwest Airlines Spirit magazine features innovative work at Carnegie Mellon University. The key ingredient: human understanding. The article mentions work involving Jodi Forlizzi and has this excellent description of John Zimmerman: Perhaps fittingly, Zimmerman does not look like your average Carnegie Mellon professor. Unlike most of the paunchy, bearded, and semi-distracted…

  • Jeremy Yuille Explores IxD Education at Adaptive Path

    in

    Adaptive Path recently hosted a brown bag lunch with Jeremy Yuille regarding interaction design education. I skirted up from my Nokia office a few blocks away to take advantage of AP’s open invitation. It took me a while to realize that Jeremy is on the IxDA board, and that I had met him at the…

  • mTID Gets Panties in a Twist

    I’m not sure Carnegie Mellon’s master of tangible interaction design is news to me. I sort of recall hearing something about it last spring. But today was the first time I saw a curriculum for the program. Like several of my former peers, I am intrigued by this program. And as a master of interaction…

  • Thoughts on Interaction08

    in

    I got back from the first Interaction Design Association (IxDA) conference, Interaction08, late Monday night after an 11-hour drive in a rented minivan with five other of my Carnegie Mellon peers. Rather than provide a blow-by-blow, I’ll apply a little bit of poetic license and start at the end. At the end of the second…

  • Classes for Final Semester

    in

    Course registration for the spring semester began today. I was a bit sad the past few days realizing that the classes I chose were to be the last of grad school. There are still many courses that I would like to take. But alas… In addition to my thesis project and thesis paper, I am…

  • My Opinion of the CMU.edu Redesign

    —

    in

    For the first time since the Internet was invented, Carnegie Mellon redesigned their website. Hurray for breaking out of 1996! I applaud the grand undertaking of overhauling a university website. Having worked at the University of Pittsburgh as a web developer for three years, I understand that this is no small or simple matter. There…

  • BusinessWeek Names CMU Top Design School

    in

    I just got word that the latest BusinessWeek features a section on the best design schools. CMU is listed. In an article titled The Talent Hunt, CMU also gets a mention. Intel is making big financial bets that design school programs like those at ASU, Carnegie Mellon, and Georgia Tech will provide fresh ideas. Nice…

  • CMU Grad Design Orientation

    —

    in

    I arrived on campus 15 minutes before orientation started, so I went to the design office to turn in my time card for the Emergence conference website. No one was in the office except some guy. He was sitting in the administrator area, so I assumed he was an administrator. He asked if I was…

  • Design Fundamentals Is Over

    —

    in ,

    Once again Friday brings the end of a project-driven week, and a big sigh of relief. The difference between this Friday and the last five is that next week there is no new project to work on. The design fundamentals course is over. We’ve got two weeks off before fall classes start. I’ll be doing…
