Hello, My Name is Dan Saffer and this is O Danny Boy, my place on the internets since 1997.

I'm the author of the books Designing for Interaction: Creating Smart Applications and Clever Devices and the upcoming (November 2008) Designing Gestural Interfaces.

And, yes, I did invent the term "topless meeting."

I live and work in San Francisco where I'm one of the principals at Kicker Studio.

On this site you can

• find out more about me
• check out my portfolio and resumé
• read my blog (the last entry was Turning into the Skid)
• or find out how to contact me.

There's also a section of extras that didn't fit anywhere else.

I also curate a collection of physical interfaces and parts on a site called No Ideas But In Things, and also oversee a wiki for collecting new interaction paradigms called Interactive Gestures.

Designing for Interaction is informed, intelligent, and inspiring. Dan Saffer delivers practical advice on today's interaction design challenges, and smart insights on tomorrow's.
