<Interactions> Magazine

ACM SIGCHI leadership challenged me and Jonathan Arnowitz to build design representation with the SIGCHI organization and conferences. One way to do this was to initiate new workshops and venues. Another was through our joint editorship of the ACM's Interactions Magazine for three years. In addition to soliciting and editing all of the magazine's content, we added editorials, cartoons, rants, and a column with a snarky bent, 'Ask Dr. Usability.' Following are samples from more than 50 publications in the magazine.​

Ask Dr. Usability

Cool vs. usable

Hunting for patterns and contradictions

New math

Chain of command

Prototyping and plagiarism

What's the right thing?

Lost in the localization forest

The globalization malaise

Too smart and too rich?

I like it like that!

Dr. Usability

Greeking and internationalization

Distressed in a cube

Seeing is believing

Growing designers

Is the there there?
