In a short while I’ll be heading off to Gatwick, and then to Barcelona for EuroIA, the third European information architecture summit. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll find there, but one thing other people will find is a poster (or lots of bits of paper taped to a wall, at least) trying to extract IA goodness from the life of Samuel Pepys. I freely admit that it doesn’t make much sense, and I’m not yet convinced that I’ve found anything out that’s useful to other people, although I’ve learned a lot in the process. I’ll be putting the images and drawings I made up on Flickr when I get back; unfortunately I’ve run out of time in the mad push to print onto tracing paper, wrestle our A3 colour printer into obediance, and other fun things.
If you’re there over the next few days, come and say hi, and try not to ask me anything really hard about the 17th Century - I never thought I’d say it, but I’m kind of sick of it. At least for the time being.
