Cocktail Sketch (Old Fashioned) by Bildbunt@Flickr

Three times makes it an institution, right? Tuesday, August 24, marks the third monthly gathering of local user-experience pros here in Providence, RI. The UX Meetup (a.k.a. Designers with Drinks) is a casual gathering of designers and interface nerds—a fun way to mix it up with local talent and share UI triumphs and dilemmas, along with a cocktail or three.

This whole hootenanny doesn't require much infrastructure, but what it does require (community, announcements, event RSVPs) is currently glued together with a Facebook group. Join the Providence UX Meetup group to keep up with the meeting info, and for now, be sure to RSVP your eager attendance at this month's pixel-perfect bacchanal. Here are the coordinates:

Designing for “Context” Is Tricky Business

Desknots
More and more, when we refer to mobile, what we really mean is “non-traditional computing devices and environments,” a stodgy mouthful that really boils down to not the desktop. We need a new term for our sprawling landscape of devices. 5 comment(s)
