Married IAs - You thought IA was arcane? It gets insanely magnified when there's two of you, surfing, twittering, reading (real books! on paper!) and spinning ideas. Here's what we talk about: experience, marketing, information design, the internet (still not bored yet 12 years later) and that whole IA community of practice thing.
