Canberra UX bookclub, Monday 16 November

The next UX bookclub meeting in Canberra is tomorrow night at 6:30pm.

The venue is the bar attached to Hotel Realm in Barton; just look for the group of people with a copy of the same book in front of them. Go around the left side of the hotel from outside the main entrance.

The book being reviewed tomorrow is Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely but if you haven’t read it don’t worry. Not everyone has the opportunity to read every book the club reviews so just turn up and join in the discussion which inevitable wanders off into other topics.

Also, Donna Spencer will be giving a personal review of Scott Berkun’s new book Making Things Happen.

If you want to come  please let Keith Lang know and subscribe to the uxbookclubcanberra list for future events.

Unfortunately I will be missing out again on bookclub as I’ll be in Sydney for Global Entrepreneurs Week.

Interviews with local user experience professionals

One of the things I’d like to do as a UXnet ambassador in Canberra is to give local user experience designers, information architects, interaction designers, researchers and other UX professionals an opportunity to speak on topics their passionate about and tell others about what they do. I plan to do this through a series of audio podcasts which I would conduct with those who nominate themselves or accept invitations to participate in such a podcast.

Part of it is to raise the profile of our local talent and UX community so people know what Canberra has to offer in skills and expertise in the user experience field and so others can more readily connect with local professionals if they know a bit more about who they are.

Do you think this is a good idea? Are you a UX professional in Canberra that would be interested in nominating yourself or a colleague to participate in an inteview?
