If you’re in New England and interested in design, software and usability you’ll want to check out the Mini-UPA one day conference. It’s a one day event so you won’t be tied up all week and it’s jam packed with great speakers. There are over 30 speakers talking about all sorts of things from Web Apps, Interaction Techniques, Analytics, User Experience and design. Best of all the event is really affordable for a full day of speakers and classes. The event is May 28th so go put it on your calendar and sign-up now.

I’m on the board of UPA Boston and my company is also co-sponsoring the event but don’t let that stop you from showing up. I hope to see you there.

A phone should be a phone

The key feature of a phone is to be able to place a call. This IP based phone fails at this task in a spectacular way. Not only was I unable to place a call using this phone but in the process it displayed a nice error messages telling me that it couldn’t render a web-page.

The problem arrises from the fact that most companies have a special code to dial outside the company. If you guessed “dial 9″ you guessed wrong, and so did I. No matter what I tried I couldn’t get an outside line. I couldn’t get a dial-by-name directory. I couldn’t get an operator and there was no help available.

A little about me. I live and work in Boston for my own company called Raizlabs. I design software that’s easy and intuitive to use. I’ve worked for companies as large as Microsoft and as small as a two person startup. My passion is designing great products that are fun, and useful.
