Wow. There is no doubt you rule. Not only is B&A smart—it’s also rather beautiful. Nice job!

May Boxes and Arrows go far in helping us talk to each other and learn from what we know. It’s time to share more and to take things a little further. I know the effort and struggle it’s been over the last few months. The product shows it and I know more great stuff is coming down the pipeline.

Great job to the entire team!

Congratulations! The magazine’s first issue shows, one more time and in the best terms, that action speaks loudly than words.

Hopefully it will be a place to come out from behind those terms.. UX, ED, etc… and speak to each other. No matter what set of letters you associate yourself with.

Baby steps.

“A place for information architects … to come together with the UXs and EDs and HCIs …

“This is a place free of jargon.”

Uh huh.

Yay! Really nice selection of articles for the first issue. Great work everyone!
My B&A announcement post is ready to go (on hold)...

Excellent work everyone! Thanks for giving our field this much needed resource and forum.

You done a good thing.

I’ve been stoked about B&A ever since I heard about the project – it rocks to see it come to life. Thanks for all the effort you’ve put in to get here. Congratulations to all the team!

I’m looking for great things in the IA/UX world in the months and years to come…and I’m sure I’ll find them here.

Jared Folkmann — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:27:26 GMT

Wow! Well done everyone, I think I speak for everyone in the IA community when I say “thank you”. It’s amazing what people can do when they put their minds to it.

Victor Lombardi — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:27:26 GMT

Congratulations! And thank you for all your hard work.

Well, here we are. It’s nearly three a.m. and IM’ing with David and Erin. George logged off a half hour ago. Chad left an hour ago and a half ago. MadonnaLisa and her husband who made the forms work left three hours ago. Liz, Lee, Christy and Brenda are safe in their beds, Jay and Thomas off carousing at SXSW. Gabe I imagine is tossing and turning, wondering what we’ve done to his design…. And Adam is just waking up to a surprise. What a smart, passionate and dedicated team I’ve been blessed with!

It’s not a perfect magazine, but it’s here. And I’m proud we made it happen. I’m even prouder of what it will be.

Special thanks to Brad Choate and Jeffrey Chan for last minute tech pitch-hitting, Ben and Mena Trott whose wonderful Movable Type allowed us to cut our dev time in half (and change things on the fly when we changed our minds) Bill, Charlie and Justin who user tested and complained intellegently.

And a kiss to my husband whose wondering why I’m not in bed right now.

Good night, all.
