DesignAday

My name is Jack Moffett. I am an Interaction Designer with over ten years of experience. According to Herb Simon, that makes me an expert, so I must have something worth sharing. I have started this venture as an exercise to spur critical thinking about my chosen profession. I hope that others may find it thought provoking as well.

DesignAday will present a brief thought about Design every weekday.

Blog of the Week: Icon-O-Cast

There aren’t very many design-related podcasts out there. A select few are of consistently high quality. Lunar Design started Icon-O-Cast in June of 2007. They’ve been releasing one or two episodes per Month ever since. From interviews with the likes of Don Norman to conference presentations and in-house discussions, John Edson and other Lunar employees cover a lot of ground. There are five “departments” that podcasts may fall into: Cover Story, From the News and Reviews Desk, Transmissions from Earth, Man in the Moon, and Trendspotting. Topics touch all areas of design. They’ve discussed the industrial design of coffee makers, sustainability, outsourcing to India, and the “mysteries and wonder of Interaction Design”.

Episodes average a very listenable twenty minutes, and the audio quality is good. Subscribe via iTunes.
