CFP for Agile 2010 User Experience stage!

Hi folks,

Considering the... feisty... conversations that sometimes occur here when the topic of interaction design work and agile comes up I'm hoping that I can persuade folk here to submit proposals to the Agile 2010 User Experience stage.

This is the stage for agile team members passionate about creating products with a great user experience.

Service Tools For Self-Managing Chronic Disease Risk

Dear All,

Last summer I presented a piece at the Service Innovation Design & Dev conference in Chicago. Topic was Service Tools For Innovating Chronic Disease Management. Worked with a great team of IxD and Design Management grad students at University of Kansas.

Flash Rotators

Flash Rotators, should we have users activate them? Should we have a
pause, stop button? Should they be rotating at all? I saw that Yahoo
Lifestyle recently added command buttons to their pages
http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/. I personally have never believed in
their efficiency in conveying multiple messages but it looks like I am
stuck with them. I want to at least make the user's experience as easy
as possible. I have looked for articles and research to prove my point
but have not found much. I hope you guys can help, Thoughts?

Thanks,

Kayan

day-to-day demands (not that it'll ever outshine OmniGraffle - LOL). If
anyone has sampled it, I'd welcome your thoughts on it's pros/cons . .

JOB: AD/UX Hired Gun

Hey Kids,

Do you want to work on all the [soon to be] coolest online and mobile application interfaces ?

Can you design both interaction and visual 'look and feel' ?

My company is looking for experienced designers that can shape the user experience from both and interaction and visual perspective.
If you are stronger in one than the other, that is fine, but some experience in both is necessary.

Our clients are mostly Fortune 100 financial services companies, with some random startups thrown in to keep us fresh.

We are looking for motivated and self-managing f
