Not/Just Another UX Blog

I want to get my first post out of the way. So I thought I'd explain to you (and to myself) what this blog is intended to be.

It's intended to be just another blog discussing user experience design and all that stuff. But it's also intended to be not just another blog about that stuff. It's both. Depending probably on who you are and what you think of my ideas. And also probably on the quality and strength of those ideas.

See, I've always had this kind of distant perspective about the work I do, no matter what that work may be. Taking the long view, I think the idea that there's a profession that designs experiences and interactions for people is kind of funny. But I love it. I love being part of it. It's fascinating to me.

Lately I've been developing some deeper ideas about what this thing that we do is. And I've been doing a lot of reading and following of blogs and trends. And I've started to consciously notice all the things I notice about experiences, their qualities and how they could be better. So this blog is a place to explore that stuff.
