Brad Lauster: Impressions from BayCHI April 2002.
For those of you who don’t know Alan Cooper, besides being one of the founders of Cooper Interaction Design, he is also the author of two of the only interaction design books for which you should be ashamed of yourself for not having read, “About Face” and, “The Inmates are Running the Asylum.”
Hey, I’ve read both. Do I win a prize? I even still have both on my bookshelf. And by “bookshelf”, I mean “pile on the floor where the cabinet I was using for a bookshelf used to be before we got that big new TV and had to move the cabinet downstairs to prop it up, a harrowing process during which my darling girlfriend whom I love dearly nearly broke her wrist helping me hoist up said TV onto said cabinet because said TV is approximately the size and weight of a baby elephant, although not as slippery, and such things — and by “things”, I mean “TVs”, not “baby elephants” — should really only be moved by professional movers with large muscles and thick wrists, except that I didn’t get my act together fast enough when they delivered said TV and didn’t bring said cabinet downstairs until after they left because, as I may have mentioned, it was full of books”.
