There’s nothing I hate worse than an app over riding my settings. Looking at you kindle - why must I shift to “page in book” every damn book. And whoever said location in book was a meaningful piece of metadata - said no on ever.

Women of IXD Deep Cuts #16 is out. Educators Meredith Davis & Kathryn McCoy, both presidents of the now defunct American Center for Design in the 1990s. They shepherded the Living Surfaces conferences into being, which were some of the first for designers working in Multimedia, then the Internet and Web. They gave us opportunities to share our work and have conversations about the evolution of the designer's role into these new spaces.

@textfiles What's the process to tour the Internet Archive? I'd love to bring my History of Interaction Design class (12 students) to see the awesomeness.....

I've published a bibliography for the book, now that the manuscript has been delivered (this morning). @schock & @histoftech thanks to both of you (among others) for your works I cited in my text. This list doesn't cover specific references, oral histories or interviews with specific women. https://womenofixd.com/bibliography
