The no.1 take-away for me from I08 was the conversations I had with folks like Matt, Angel, Niklas & crew on their perspective, what drives them, what makes them passionate about design in general and IxD in particular.
It was an opportunity to not talk about UCD, ACD, elevator pitches and what have you but a chance to explore the topics that motivate us, for me; Angel on getting LA IxDA up and running, Niklas on his career and family perspective, Matt on cool hacker/maker stuff. For me, the 'conference' wasnt so much about the Buxton Keynote moments (although thats not something I'll forget soon) but it was, in a word, about our Community... who we are what what we do. Plus, it seems, some of us like to stay up dancing, playing pool and drinking.. beside the pool while dancing.. drunk. Good times. I'm really quite pissed I cant be there this year. /pauric . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
