I’m at the Information Architecture Summit, which I’m greatly looking forward to.

At the opening cocktail party, there were three common topics of discussion, at least from my non-statistically-relevant experience: 1. “Did you see how dramatically attendance is up this year?” 2. “I don’t really call myself an information architect.” 3. “How can I arrange to move to Vancouver for the rest of my life?”

I’m giving the opening keynote, a choice that has me bewildered and terrified. I rewrote it last night and I’m about to change the chunks again. (No, “change the chunks” is not an alimentary euphemism.) As it stands, I’m trying out a couple of ideas that have surfaced late in the course of writing the book I’m working on; as my talk progresses, the ideas get flakier, which is not a good thing.

Well, I’ve got to get back to un- and re-writing my presentation. I will feel better — or possibly much worse — after this morning. [Tags: iasummit06 ia user_experience]
