International Design and Engagability Conference 2006 15th October @ NordiCHI Oslo Proceedings edited by Knight, J. Sheriden, J and
Torstensson C.

This came into my inbox this morning so I thought I would share it.

I certainly plan to go.

I also feel a little proud to be the first (I think) to get this on the web. Its not even on the Nordichi.org site yet – or Nordichi.net 🙂

I guess that’s a scoop !
