I’m technically off today, spending today and yesterday in LA for a short birthday trip to see the Turrell retrospective at LACMA and eat delicious food. It’s a short week otherwise, with Thursday (and sorta Friday?) as Thanksgiving.

• Last week was my O’Reilly webcast Interviewing Users. You can see the recording at the link, also two summaries from the Twitters here and here.
• Next week I’ll be in New York for a few days. I’ll be giving a talk about Interviewing Users at IxDA NYC on December 6. You can sign up at the link but it was waitlist only a few hours after it was announced last week.
• Also in New York, I’ll be visiting SVA, speaking about The Power of Bad Ideas at the Products of Design program and guesting at the Interaction Design program in their Research Methods class.
• Ten years gone: From November 2003 – Kung Faux, Recruiting fail, Luxury Golf Cart Lawsuit.
• What we’re consuming: Underworld U.S.A., Flightfox, Osteria Mozza, 31st Union, Like a Rolling Stone, Bazaar.
