I just read Scott Porad’s post “Why do web sites and software take so long to build? And why is it so hard?”, and it really got me thinking. He talks about how clients and customers think software should be faster and cheaper. That’s human nature I think and we can’t isolate that to consumers [...]
In a recent meeting with the CEO and COO of a lifestyle brand, I was reminded of the different hats of the CEO and COO. We were discussing the visual design of their web site. CEO: I want it to scream passion for the lifestyle. COO: It needs to showcase the product. The CEO (and [...]

My interest in the event was peaked when the great Bryan Zug started a Twitter conversation.
