The second speaker at An Event Apart Minneapolis was Whitney Hess, who spoke about Do It Yourself User Experience techniques in “DIY UX: Give Your Users an Upgrade.” Below are summaries of my notes. These are Whitney’s excellent thoughts, not mine. Hopefully I captured them accurately, but this is a poor substitute for the engaging, practical presentation Whitney gave. You have to go to An Event Apart for that!
I am a web designer and developer with a passion for web standards, accessibility, usability, and information architecture. My toolbox includes hand-coding XHTML and CSS, Drupal, ColdFusion, and all things Adobe.
When my head is not in the web, I enjoy walks with my wife and dog through our lovely neighborhood (walks with our cat proved counterproductive), time with friends, traveling, reading, movies, fantasy and science fiction, Blu-Ray, a nice meal now and then, and all things iPhone.
If I were a flavor of ice cream, trust me, it would not be IE6.
