So when I originally conceived this blog, I christened it ‘Touch It’, and planned to focus my writing and commentary on touchscreen interface design. In fact, just days after I first posted, the new iPhone was announced, shortly thereafter MS showed off their multi-touch table top computer.

On the other hand, at almost the identical moment, I was handed a new project at work – my first web design assignment, versus the exclusively touchscreen work I had been dedicated to for the prior 5 years! It was an odd confluence, and thanks to my new responsibilities, I had little time to think about this blog or to focus on all the touchscreen hoopla.

Now, 9 months later, I am finally getting back to work on my design blog. As I do so, I have made two big changes: first, I am expanding the focus the blog beyond touchscreen. With my expanded role at work, I feel it is appropriate to widen my discussion to include all types of interfaces, including touchscreen and web. Second, I will also be including commentary on other products, including electronics interfaces and some examination of auto designs.

With the broadened focus, I am also changing the name of the blog to Eye Forward. I chose that name for its simplicity and because it reflects my mindset, looking ahead and thinking about what is coming down the road. I look forward to blogging, and I will be working hard to add a worthwhile and interesting voice to the design blogoshpere.
