Reboot 9: Dan Dixon

Posted on May 24, 2007 under blog ,

Dan Dixon is a lecturer and researcher, having made the change from agency land to being an academic, but wants to know if there is there a theory of everything for web design. He promised that you do not have to understand physics or mathematics. ;) His talk at reboot is about “Quantum mechanics and web design GUTs, Strings, Architecture and Theories of Everything“.

We talk about …

the influence from the english speaking world, the common wealth and the US and areas who are more english than the Brits
what is different about agency and academic land
same language, different world or why moving from London to Bristol was more of a shock
how teenagers do learn it socially, but do not analyse or reflect what they are doing – or why technology may be magic.
his background in physics and mathematics and the question if this can be applied to the net / web design
what this technical direction has to do with this topic “human” and why he is more interested in the human side rather than the technical
