Colin Eagan and Jeffrey McIntyre on Personalization
My guests today are Colin Eagan and Jeffrey MacIntyre. Although they work for different companies, Colin and Jeffrey share a common focus: how information technologies might offer more personalized experiences. They co-authored an article on the subject for A List Apart and Jeffrey gave an excellent presentation based on that material at this year’s IA Conference, which led to this interview.See full show notes at:https://theinformed.life/2024/07/14/episode-144-colin-eagan-jeffrey-macintyre/

Chris Aldrich has the most multi-disciplinary resume I’ve ever seen, with a background that includes biomedics, electrical engineering, entertainment, genetics, theoretical mathematics, and more. Chris describes himself as a modern-day cybernetician, and in this conversation we discuss cybernetics and communications, differences between oral and literary cultures, and indigenous traditions and mnemonics, among many other things.See full show notes at:https://theinformed.life/2024/05/05/episod...
Customer Reviews
One of my top 3 favorite podcasts
The Informed Life is fascinating and mind building for anyone with the least bit of interest in how people organize their lives. Jorge asks great questions that make me feel compelled to make a note. So many gems on how to manage all this information we face on the daily and to use it to your advantage. PS: If PKMs are your thing, check out Jorge’s book, Duly Noted. So much more helpful than Smart Notes, IMO. Thanks for this podcast, Jorge!
An Intelligent Perspective
I have listened to almost every episode and I highly recommend Jorge and this podcast. He has great guests, he asks insightful questions, and if you work I Design as I do, this is a must listen show.
I’m glad this podcast exists
I’ve always been interested in Information Architecture (IA) as a field, but I didn’t know where to start. The conversations between the host and his guests on this show are a fantastic resource for me and, I think, for others who might be interested in learning what IA is all about and the ways in which it applies to everyday life.
