I&#8217;m in the business of designing great products that make people happy, and this weblog is about how I go about that business: interaction design, design research, and fitting the two together.  I&#8217;m an industry practitioner, so I expect most of the content here will be focused on pragmatics.  If I wax theoretical from time to time, forgive me; I did study philosophy for some time in undergrad and old habits die hard.<\/p>\n<p>This is actually my second blog; the first, roblog.org, was an affectation of mine as I was attending grad school at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmu.edu\/\">Carnegie Mellon University<\/a>.  It ran for about a year and a half and collected quite a few entries before I fell out of the habit of updating it regularly.  It&#8217;s now defunct but still available for archival reasons, and will probably continue to be at least until I get around to moving all the interesting entries over here.  All new content will go here, however, and I plan to keep a clearer focus on the field of experience design and research for this little project.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to User Eccentric!
