		<title>Thematic Analysis: Analysing Qualitative UX Data Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Introduction
User Experience researchers often employ qualitative research methods often including depth interviews, think-aloud, contextual enquiry, ethnography, diary studies, open-ended questionnaire items and many others.  But how do you analyse qualitative data?

		<title>A Journey from Ethnography to Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Based on an article I have written for the Flow Interactive Think Blog.

		<title>Improving Communication Between Academia and Industry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Introduction
Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men. Although he was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by examining his wives&#8217; mouths. Assuming Aristotle is academia and his wives practitioners in industry (or vice versa), a lack of communication and verification also appears to be occurring in the HCI [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ethno-videography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photographs have been used in ethnographic research for many years. Initially, pictures were used to support written text. However, in the past 10 years we are seeing a shift into using photographs as the main medium for capturing evidence. Pink (2001) has coined the term visual ethnography, emphasising the move into using a camera as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ethnography and Photography</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of my ethnographic work I use video and stills cameras to document people&#8217;s behaviours, work and social dynamic. These photos,  of course, are confidential.
The photos below are a collection of some photos I can share.

		<title>Can I use the new iPod Shuffle?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The original iPod Shuffle had a clear proposition; a cheap, simple, and minimalist music player. Technically the first iPod to use flash memory and physically the smallest, it lacked any display, scroll wheel or playlist management features. The constant need to control, skip, manage, and navigate was replaced with a simpler and more relaxed lack [...]]]></description>
