[IxDA Discuss] Less talking, more doing (was: Thoughts on Alan Cooper's Keynote)

[David Armano]

As both Gabby's co-worker and someone who works along side many
different disciplines%u2014I think she intended to make her point
dramatic so as to get us thinking.  Let's look for inspiration in
things besides documents and best practices.  Let's resist the urge
to "naval gaze" (it happens in all communities).  Let's learn from
others in our discipline as well as what the construction worker or
police officer on the street can teach us.

Saying bullshit is a cop-out.  In my presentation I stressed both
thinking   doing as Dave mentions here.  I personally believe in the
power of community.  I also believe in the power of stepping outside
of it.  Both are needed.

Speaking only for myself%u2014I interpreted her post as an attempt to
remind us of the importance of balance.
