bplusd is Jess McMullin’s new blog on the intersection of business and design. Nice to see the conversation gaining momentum from a variety of fronts (and countries). It’s starting to feel like a real community, and pretty quickly (compared to the years I’ve felt out in the cold as "an ethnographer").

Hi Steve,
thanks for the link however: Who is ‘Jess McMullin’ and where do I find any information about him, his aims and goals of the blog? Do you know how to contact him?
Cheers, Ralf.
… yes, a Google serach did help 
Shame on me!
But … for quite a while now I find more and more blogs where you do not get clear, accessible information on the people behind the sites, information about the vision/mission or correct/working contact information etc. I find this quite irritating.
At least for a ‘information architect’ I would have expected a working contact link On the other hand: Blame it on a freshwater european mind who does not know the hot shots in information architecture (which I find highly interesting, btw.)
Cheers, Ralf.
Goodness - sorry for the irritation. A working contact link, and link to a bio are on the to-do list, along with a blogroll and a few other things. I flipped the switch to remove the password protection from the domain on the way out the door from work last night, and didn’t expect to get much notice over the weekend. Apologies for my low expectations leading to lack of info…
On the other hand, as someone who talks a lot about lowfi iteration, I’ve waited far too long to publicly push bplusd, since I’ve been working on it since I attended the Rotman conference in January…I figured it’s better to push something out with some imperfections than keep delaying it until everything was perfect.

Enough meta - Ralf, Hans, and everyone else - thanks for noticing!
