“...the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.” -Umberto Eco

UX Talk at Hacker Dojo

Posted: April 12th, 2011 | Author: Jason Sack | Filed under: Design | No Comments »

Hacker DojoHave you ever wondered about what lizard brains, magic wands, and emotional information have to do with UX design? If so, you are as weird as me and we should definitely talk. If you haven’t, it’s pretty intriguing stuff. Either way, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the above topics at the Hacker Dojo and would love to see you there.

The Dojo is a pretty amazing place. In their own words: “Hacker Dojo is a community of engineers, artists, scientists, activists, entrepreneurs and other creative people centered around a co-working and social facility in Mountain View, CA.” I spent a little time there last week and met some of the smart folks that help keep the Dojo rolling, and it’s a very groovy space.

I’ll be talking about UX through the lens of lizards, what designers have in common with magicians, the wonders of neuroscience, and why the details matter. If you can make it drop by: Thursday, April 21st at 7pm. Here’s a map to the Dojo.
