David’s Video of ALA2008

By

Some of you probably saw me wandering around ALA2008 with a Flip video camera… well, here’s why: ALA let me borrow one of their cameras! Daniel Kraus, the guy behind most of the videos on AL Focus (a cool blog from ALA) lent me one of their Flip cameras, and asked me to fill it with video of the conference. So I did – then mailed it back to Daniel, who miraculously edited my video mess into a pretty cool video snippet of the conference.

Check out the video (originally posted at AL Focus):

New Book this Fall: Designing the Digital Experience

By

I actually wrote a book! I can’t believe it… but I’m pretty psyched about it! Here’s the info for the book:

Designing the Digital Experience: How to Use Experience Design Tools and Techniques to Build Websites Customers Love
ISBN 978-0-910965-83-5/$24.95/208 pp
CyberAge Books/Information Today Inc.
Publication: October 2008 (that’s coming up soon!)

So – it’s coming out this fall, and it’s all about designing digital experiences (long-time readers will recognize that topic – it’s a common one for me, both on my blog and in my presentations). I’ll be posting more about the book as it gets closer to the release date. But for now, here’s a wordle teaser (click through to the larger version in my flickr account if interested)… a tag cloud version of the introduction to the book!
