Between designing and facilitating usability tests, bugging people about late content and creating wireframes, here it is July already and I haven't had much time to post. Not that there haven't been incredible developments out there in Digitaland. The iPhone alone is using lots of bandwidth on several discussion boards.

As Bill Buxton points out in his new book, "Sketching the User Experience", so much of this technology that's only now coming to market has been in development for many years.

Had some folks from the Microsoft Research Group give a presentation a couple of years ago on what is now a real product – Microsoft Surface.

Being kind of a late-adopter and sometime Luddite, I'm not standing in line for the iPhone, although I've been a faithful Mac user since the IIe. Recently bought a Lenovo laptop to work in the Windows environment with Visio and have been pleasantly surprised with both the hardware and software. Still on XP though.

This YouTube Video caught my eye mostly for the GPS integration. I've been using GPS for at-sea navigation for years and it's interesting to see it migrating to the mobile space and seemingly everywhere these days.

Thanks to the folks at the University of Kansas (where they also offer an Interaction Design degree program)
