Christina Wodtke posted an excellent article on boxes and arrows talking about Information Architects not being considered designers. Amazing that people would find what I do not to be design. Furthermore interesting to note that Christina understands so perfectly the difference between one who defends his work (designer) and one who does not (the majority of other people on any given project). I ranted about it. Now I’m over it. Returning to my exquisitely undefined job now…

Ivan sent me this link a while back when I was looking for some IA information. I thought I had lost some of these lists when I left Xerox. Nope, they still exist. And they’re listed in a wiki. Huh?

I had the pleasure of reading Futurize Your Enterprise: Business Strategy in the Age of the E-customer by David Siegel. I forced myself to do it for the sake of a client that actually knows the guy. I found it to be pretty thought provoking. The book is the right kind of book for all of us designers that are reading way too many how to books, and not enough future vision books.
