    I didn’t really do a lot on this project but would like to take a moment to remember that one of Razorfish’s first recommendations was they should quit calling it e-Schwab.

    This was an interaction design and branding project for one of those financial services firms you could never explain to anyone if you tried.

    This was a startup that was like Yammer but did not get to be Yammer.

  94. wowowow

    That stands for Women on the Web and it was sort of a group blog for older women with successful media careers who wanted to try out the internet.

  95. WSJ

    Honest to god, I had no idea what this was. Apparently in 1998 I did the UX for a tour of the new Wall Street Journal website. I had to look it up in my files and I have zero recollection of ever doing this.

  96. WWE

    I did like three days of consulting with Lullabot on this project and it will forever be the greatest project ever. Also fascinating and complicated.
