Stop Designing Products!

I know peterme.com has been pretty quiet. Any number of reasons, including the fact that I’m in Lisbon for a conference. You can download the slides to the talk I gave, Stop Designing Products. (1.2 MB PDF)

On my way to Lisbon tomorrow…

That little map over on the right hand side of the blog should place (or, rather, “plaze”) me in Lisbon, Portugal, late tomorrow (well, I’ll be arriving the morning of the 26th Lisbon time). I’m speaking at the Shift conference, and thrilled by the opportunity to visit Lisbon for my first time, and get a [...]

Interview with Jake Barton

Over on the IDEA blog, I’ve begun a conversation with Jake Barton, the principal of Local Projects, a leading-edge environment and museum design firm, known for incorporating user-generated content into public spaces. Some comments from our discussion so far:
“…Because they occur in public spaces, our projects differ from similar web-based projects, creating a very rich [...]

Inalienable right

I’ve been looking up California employment codes, and came across this today.
The Fair Employment and Housing Act, includes a provision on the Right to Wear Pants.

Libraries and Museums in the vanguard

Libraries and museums are typically thought of as outdated, staid, stodgy, dusty institutions; places your forced to go as a school child and often don’t bother returning to as an adult. So one of the things that surprised me as I programmed the IDEA conference is how many of the best examples of institutions that [...]

Teaching Next Gen Web Apps in Portugal

On 27 September (as they write it on the continent) I’ll be teaching an all-day workshop on Designing the Next Generation of Web Applications at the Shift conference, in Lisbon, Portugal. We’ve posted a detailed outline of what will be covered.
The main conference (28-29 September) is looking to be quite a good event. I’m [...]

Business = Technology?

I subscribe to an daily email from the New York Times on their top news items from certain categories, including Business and Technology. Here is the section of those two categories from today’s email:

Everyday, there’s seems to be least one story that overlaps the two sections, and many days, two stories. I find it weird [...]

The Center was established in 1970 to [...]

Information visualization conversation with Mike Migurski and Fernanda Viegas

Over on the IDEA Conference blog, I’ve posted the beginning of a discussion on information visualization, giving us all a peek into what Mike and Fernanda will be presenting at the conference.
Some choice quotes:
“At the conference, I’m hoping to talk about how to “democratize” visualization use (following successful deployments such as the NameVoyager vis)”
“I [...]

A great way to spend 8 minutes 12 seconds

I listen to around 60 minutes of podcasts everyday (yay commuting), and while much of it is fine, rarely does it elevate to something special.
That happened recently, when I listened to the Kitchen Sisters’ “Hidden Kitchens” segment on Georgia Gilmore who cooked for the Civil Rights leaders in Montgomery, AL, including the Rev. Dr. King. [...]
