Design. Build. Share. Monday, April 12, 2010. I built a ray gun and I’m going to use it. This month’s approaching UX Group meeting, a UX ‘show and tell’. For artifacts developed in support of creating a user experience, has me thinking about UI prototypes. At one end of the prototyping fidelity scale is a paper prototype, which has the great merits of being inexpensive, easy to create, and eminently disposable. At the other end of the scale is what I like to call a ray gun. What’s a ray gun? The punch li...

Design. Build. Share. Sunday, December 15, 2013. Open Ears and Little Match Girl Passion. I joined the board of directors of Open Ears. Open Ears is a “Festival of Music and Sound”, the next edition of which is coming in June, 2014. There will be some great stuff happening, and artistic director Gregory Oh. Has been hard at work putting together what looks like will be a fantastic program. Announcements will come as things firm up and the marketing train gets rolling! Which is pretty amazing. And can als...

Design. Build. Share. Thursday, February 26, 2015. Craft beer and improvised music in Uptown Waterloo. Last Friday I enjoyed an evening of craft beer and improvised music, a combination that’s perfect for me. I started by meeting my friend David for a quick beer at Abe Erb. Next, David and I walked over to the Button Factory. Concert featuring three terrific improvising musicians. The event was a part of their Mix Series, which focuses on “improvisational music and emerging artists”. The program was a mu...

Design. Build. Share. Friday, August 22, 2014. Tune in to 570 on the AM dial. This week I had a fun experience promoting Fluxible. On the radio (and, yes, I’ll write more about Fluxible soon). Bob Barlow-Busch. And I were on 570 News. For the Tuesday #TechHour. And a lunchtime discussion about UX in general and our experiences with Fluxible. We were initially connected with the show by Chris Plunkett. Fluxible 2014 speaker Brent Bisaillion. And UW Stratford faculty member Karin Schmidlin. It’s been...

Connolly Design: September 2014
http://www.connollydesign.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Design. Build. Share. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Fluxible 2014 was another great success. 2014 has come and gone, and it feels good to look back on what was yet another successful event. The program of talks and workshops. Was wonderful, with ample support from the Festival of Interstitial Music. The feedback that we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive, which is a gratifying thing to see. I’m particularly pleased that Fluxible 2014 was at the heart of 5 Days of UX. Friday, September 19, 2014.

Connolly Design: May 2015
http://www.connollydesign.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Design. Build. Share. Monday, May 25, 2015. Using realistic data in a design prototype. I mentioned code-based prototypes. A few weeks back. Here’s a related observation. I like to put realistic-looking content into my higher-fidelity prototypes. The main reason for my preference is that, in many cases, a design can’t be effectively evaluated if it doesn’t present realistic data and/or information. You need to see how the design handles the real thing. When I was at Karos Health. Thursday, May 14, 2015.

Thoughts on product design user experience. Demand for user experience design shows Waterloo Region tech companies preparing for a strong future. Written by bbb on September 18, 2012. Yesterday I had lunch with a company founder who’s on the hunt for a user experience designer to join his most excellent team. This is pretty much a weekly occurrence, which got me thinking about what this demand for UX could mean for the future of Waterloo Region. 8220;User experience (UX) is now becoming a critical point ...
