During David Greenfield's presentation he talked about wanting to pull all of his feeds into one place - great idea! This has been a mission of mine and although I don't have a finished example - more to do with my lack of time than its complexity - I can share a few URL's that could help others. Bear in mind that I accomplished this relatively quickly using Dreamweaver™

Here are some links to things we mentioned in the workshop today:

i've just added pictures to the user listing available for registered users at http://conference.archimuse.com/users it's nice to see some familiar – and new – faces there.  if you haven't uploaded your picture, you can add one to your profile. visit "my account", choose "edit", and see the instructions under "picture".

there are more than 850 users registered here now; i think it's time to consider some more networking functionality ... i'm open to ideas, and proposals to help out ;)

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The IDC 2008 conference will continue to present significant contributions to research, development, and practice in the field of interaction design for children. The goals of the 2008 conference are to better understand children's needs, and how to design for them, with a specific focus on creativity and innovation. We invite researchers to step outside the domains of learning and play, and to consider designing for civic involvement, for democracy, and for physical and emotional well-being, among other topics. We also invite researchers to stop thinking of "children" as a homogeneous group, and to reflect on interaction design for diverse groups of children (children from developing nations, very young children, issues of gender, race and ethnicity, children with special needs).

PROJECT ARCHIVIST (SCIENTIST, MUSEUM, SR) SALARY RANGE: $3,691 - $3,840/mo.

The University Art Museum (UAM) at UC Santa Barbara is distinguished by its Architecture and Design Collection (ADC) which documents the built environment of California and the Southwest. The ADC boasts more than 850,000 historic drawings and 1300 linear feet of manuscript material. Its nucleus was solidified in the late 1960s when the UAM acquired the archives of Rudolph M. Schindler and Irving Gill. Today the collection represents the archives of more than 90 designers and includes architectural drawings, photographs, manuscript material, three-dimensional objects, models, and furniture. The UAM seeks a skilled archivist to be responsible for a two-year archival cataloging and digitization project of selected ADC holdings, funded by the IMLS Museums for America program. The Project Archivist will report to the UAM's Curator of Architecture and Design.
