that was supposed to be yikes but even on the second try is became wikes so now it is wikes. i have not been writing. i’ve been busy. a good kind of busy. still alive and doing well…but channeling all my energy into other projects not writing here. but dead space makes me sad so i should continue. even if short and sweet.

sid and i are currently trying to put a cultural probe (short article for those with no acm access) design exercise together for the folks in our lab group. neither of us has experience implementing cultural probes so it has been a learning process. how much should we stick to the original definition and recommendations for the probes and how much should we change to suit our goals (designers as subjects, resulting product to be in a specific activity space)? it is complicated and i should probably write about it afterwards so that i may remember the process.

bbiab.
