2005 Honorable Mentions

16 December 2005 In: Information Architecture

There are many sites out there that are giving their “best of 2005” pics. This one is mine –sort of. I hesitate to say that these are “the best” as I don’t believe that “the best” is a relevant concept in this case. This is my list of “People or sites that have influenced me the most in 2005”. The list has another twist. While most of these lists contain names like Veen, Zeldman, Meyer, and Çelik; I am passing them over for (slightly) lesser-known folk whom I believe deserve mention.

  • Bokardo, by Joshua Porter. He writes about human/computer interaction inside the “Web 2” universe.
  • Particletree, by Ryan and Chris Campbell and Kevin Hale. I just recently found them. Their site is beautiful, and their content is right on the money. Good job, gents!
  • Dan Cederholm of SimpleBits fame. He’s always got some new trick in his breast pocket.
  • Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds. He writes about the very difficult task of communicating in front of an audience, and does so with aplomb.
  • Edward Tufte is a huge influence on how I do my job. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
  • 37signals The 37signals crew put out some amazing stuff in 2005, including sparking the creation of Ruby on Rails.
