I'm currently on a plane heading back home after a short weekend with a group of mostly instructional designers who are at a new type of unconference (something I've never experienced before). It felt more like a retreat than a conference due to the setting and the style of interaction ...
To all my designer friends:
Is your company recruiting designers? Will they be in 2013?
Did you know that the best way to get on the radar screen of the best potential recruits is to have a booth at Interaction 13? Why you ask?

I was reading the great wrap up of the 99% conference by Behance. There is some really great thoughts captured/curated in that piece. It's like a real Making Ideas TED. Kudos to the organizers and editors.
The one thing that jumped out at me was report of Keith Yamashita's talk:

Recently I had the good fortune to here Jonah Lehrer (@jonahlehrer) give a wonderful keynote talk here at SCAD (@scaddotedu). He talk I can only assume will be part of his upcoming book, Imagine.
