Mary Jean, who's always been the best writer in the family, writes:
Nathaniel Oscar Rosenfeld was born Wednesday, June 18, at the extremely hospitable hour of 2:54 p.m. He was a strapping 8 pounds 6 ounces, and within minutes of emerging had figured out where the snack bar was, so we expect that number to stay impressive. After the world's longest pregnancy (27 years), everything went about perfectly with the labor and birth. That kid was so overripe he fell right off the tree.
Iris is crazy about having a little bother brother. When Lou called her after the birth, I could hear her scream with excitement, through his phone, from six feet away.

May 27, 2008: Questions for IA/IM vendors
Occasionally I help my clients find consulting firms for information architecture and information management projects. Here's how I help:

- Develop RFPs
- Assemble an initial list of potential vendors
- Review proposals
- Develop short list selection criteria
- Come up with (and ask) questions for the interviews of short list candidates
- Develop systems for evaluating proposals and presentations
Because I'm such a swell guy, I've decided to share a general set of interview questions below. Hopefully some Bloug readers might find these helpful to consider when hiring a vendor. Chime in with others you think should be added...
