a few observations
I just finished the second pair of weeks as part of the firm Tangible. Things have really started to pick up. In the last two weeks, I have put together 4 project proposals, met with 3 potential clients in person and 2 by phone. I have had lunches and coffees with a couple of developers…
The first two weeks
I have just finished my first two weeks with Tangible ux. I am acclimating to working from home and have to make the extra effort to stay in touch with friends – dinners, brunch, events etc. – rather than relying on socializing at work. I am tending to get a LOT more done in general,…

Making Room for the next generation
I recently went through the process of interviewing candidates for a position on my team. We decided this time though, that we had enough senior and mid-level people and that we would bring in some junior talent. This serves two purposes – bringing new blood into the organization that isn’t jaded by the work world…
Mind Your Reputation
I am pleased to announce that we recently released a set of 9 Reputation Patterns over on the Yahoo! Pattern Library. Written primarily by Bryce Glass, these patterns are many months in the making and reflect the work of Bryce, product manager Yvonne French, and much guidance from our former community guru Randy Farmer as…
