-- BOXES AND ARROWS -- http://www.boxesandarrows.com/

Two good recent Boxes and Arrows articles:

1) Beyond cardsorting: Free-listing methods to explore
user categorizations
As a precursor to cardsorting or as an independent
method, free-listing is a technique that can help you
determine the scope of a content domain while providing
some insight into how the domain is structured.

2) Getting Creative With Specs: Usable Software
Specifications
Building architects don't have to think much about what
the actual deliverables are to contractors and their
clients, because their industry has traditions and
standards for blueprints, balsa wood models, and
computer-generated renderings. As user interface
consultants, we have to think about this anew for every
project.
