Locally, there are passionate fans of iRise and Axure. Personally, I haven’t used either - too many deal breakers on both sides.
The latest deal breaker, iRise Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Axure Software Solutions 10 weeks after it receives a software patent (a questionable idea itself). Awesome.
Let’s say, iRise wins: eradicating Axure and leaving […]
Make sure you know the rate you’re billing out at, figure out how much money you’re bringing into the company, and how much of that you are seeing. If you’re utilized more than 80% of the time (and that’s already probably too high…) ask about when you’re supposed to find the time to develop your […]
Hey all –
Tonight’s UX Meetup was about usability, but was oh-so-much-more. We probably had a good 3 handfuls or so of local folks, many familiar faces (Garrick, Lori, Fred, Jon), many new faces (Karen, Kevin, Stephanie, Tommy, Scott and many others I didn’t get the chance to chat with!) Brit’s was a bit […]
This is completely off topic, but, hey, it’s Friday.
We’d like to rent a cabin this summer somewhere in the MN/Iowa/WI region not TOO far from the Twin Cities.

Hello Twin Cities UX folks –
The next Twin Cities UX Meetup group will meet April 1 . The topic will be usability methods. As usual, a few local professionals will help jump-start the conversation (e.g. me). I’m also going to try and nab a few nationally-known locals to join us.
Here are […]
Some quickie news bits re: local paper-based content design:
The Pioneer Press has a new design. It’s narrower with a new headline typeface and a bigger crosswords puzzle. Definitely different, but doesn’t feel fully thought out. The comic page still sucks.
The Rake is done with its paper version. Bummer.
Awkward name. Cool logo. Affordable, local, interesting-looking web conference: http://www.minnewebcon.umn.edu/
Well, that’s what it should be. I’ve been paying attention to the past year’s worth of new stuff from Apple, but most of it was met with a reaction by me of ‘Oh, that’s kind of neat’ but nothing really more than that. We had to go to the Apple Store last night at the […]
