I went to the annual ASIS&T Information Architecture summit in Austin, TX last weekend. (view site) Very cool stuff and I have lots of ideas for research and independent study work I would like to do in school. A few of the talks were very interesting; I really enjoyed the ones on Information Design and Information Visualization. I wont go into detail here because I'm sure I wouldn't do them justice and couldn't really explain them without writing quite a bit (so sue me, it's late!) so sufice to say I dug it.
Austin is a pretty cool town, first time I had ever been there. Didn't take any photos tho, most of the time (almost all) was spent inside a conference room at the hotel listening to various speakers. I did have a chance to catch up with Gerald and Cammie Collier. T'was nice to see them. They drove me around town a bit and showed me their new house. Very cute indeed. I didn't really get out on to 6th street, which is the street for music. I guess I just wasn't into wandering around by myself, it would have been much nicer if Melinda was there w/me. She's the best travel companion a fella could ask for.
I did travel w/two fellow students and that was a lot of fun so I guess I wasn't completely alone. It was nice to have friendly faces at the conference.
Must go to sleep... very tired.
