SpoolCast Crew Episode 5 - featuring Nate Bolt, DeWayne Purdy, Kyle Pero, Daniel Szuc, Joshua Porter and Jared Spool. This week: iPhone, MS Surface, Second Life and more!

This week Josh and I talk about all the ways we get in trouble. Whether its speaking in public or writing on our blogs, sometimes we kick up a sandstorm unintentionally. STC2007, Art vs. Design, and the Facebook API platform.

Kate Gomoll is president and founder of Gomoll Research & Design. Back in March, we hosted Kate for a UIE Virtual Seminar on Field Studies, and recorded a followup podcast. We thought Kate’s insights were so useful that we’ve decided to share them with all of our SpoolCast listeners.

In mid-May I was asked to sit down for an interview with my good friend and former UIE colleague Carolyn Snyder at the 54th Technical Communication Summit of the Society for Technical Communication.
