April 15, 2008: Information Architecture Summit

http://www.findability.org/archives/000205.php

I had a great time at this year's IA Summit. My workshop went well, and
though there's room for improvement, I was happy with my first Search
Patterns talk.

The quality of the conference sessions was high. My favorites were Content
Page Design by Luke Wroblewski, Edge Interfaces by Stephen Anderson, and
Placemaking by Dennis Schleicher. I also missed some great ones, as usual.

Other highlights included:

* Running to Miami Beach for a swim and a walk along Ocean Avenue.

* Encountering a huge, green, wild iguana (and living to tell the tale).

* The Argus dinner and the eBay dinner and my big lunch in Little Havana.

* Spending time with old and new friends (and diving into the twitter
stream).

Thanks to everyone (especially these folks) who made this year's summit so
wonderful. See y'all next year (February 18 to 22) in Memphis!

* The IA Institute's annual report is available. Five years and going
strong!
