...or at least the stream of web information.
I find it exciting to look back over a web wander and think of how I got to where I am now (which in this case is writing this blog). Today, it started out by updating OmniGraffle. OmniGraffle is a handy dandy, Mac OS X application for flow charting. Anyway, here's the stream that I followed to get to writing this blog.
OmniGraffle update
Began looking at the new objects available
Found one named Garrett IA
Followed the "About Garrett IA..." link in OmniGraffle
Read the "Elements of User Experience" PDF
Wondered what "Tuftean" meant
Searched Google, dictionary.com, and m-w.com
Found many pages that use the word, but none that link to its full meaning
Found out that "Tuftean" means basically "in the style of Edward Tufte."
Found his web site http://www.edwardtufte.com/
Decided that I'd wandered far enough to justify a blog.
So that's how I got to this blog. 8o) I also learned a ton about Information Architecture and it's various subdivisions a long the way.
