We definitely have to balance between serious articles and fun inspiration. If you have any suggestions on inspirational articles, let me know. @rowan: That's a good idea. I have been walking around with a similar idea for some time... will have to take time to translate the ideas into actions. People coming together to actually brainstorm and create something, that's great. @jeremy: Again, nice input. And I like the idea to maybe do something in conjunction with Interaction10... It would be great to have some of the workshops over there. And post the results on Johnny. @all: Superb feedback. Keep on bringing in ideas. @armando: Thanks for that input.

He suggested that designers could find it helpful (productive, insightful, inspiring.?) to meet around local things that required design.. eg get 3 taxi drivers to speak with your group about what their work is really like.. look at food production in your locale, etc etc maybe Johnny Event/experiment could take this approach? One (successful by the looks of it) example is the social innovation camp http://www.sicamp.org/ Maybe planning something like this (in conjunction with ix10 even) could work well as the glue that collectives often require for them to hold together one of the more interestign moments for me of interaction09 was when John Thackara spoke up in the local leaders workshop (people who have started an ixda local group) about ways he’d found that worked to engage people beyond the normal ‘lets meet up and speak about the stuff we do, because we all do similar stuff’ type event.

I really dig the idea of a Johnny event, but maybe the Johnny experiment and Johnny event could be combined. I would love that idea! Not just a standard conference with speakers, Q&A and some card-swopping afterward. Actively working together on something new, trying out new things, experiment! Rowan Congratulations!

You really have been growing steadily, building a valuable resource on UX and Interaction Design. The community will get there, but maybe you should tone done to a 10th grade language for those who are starting - they usually are the most passionate. With that in mind, it might be interesting if some behind the scenes / hands-on / tutorials were available. We're all here for the play, one of the fundamentals of user-experience, so a few more toys like these wouldn't hurt. Cheers for the next 100 posts. Congrats on the 100th post.
