I arrived in london at saturday to meet my friend Olivia in her place, to see London and get used to the language again.

On this Site you´ll find videos from the demo session, short paper reviews and impressions of what´s the news in the fields of interaction design and user centered interaction. I will try to be as up to date as I can, but as my experiences from the last you taught me, this can turn out hard. So please be patient, if there is one day delay in the news.
