Found a new reference jjg.net: information architecture resources.
What a great collection of resources! I'm gonna be a long time combing through these...
Of particular help is the collection of links to Information Architects trying to define the field. good luck! I have often thought that pure information architecture is categorization and labeling...everything else we do is interaction design, or interface design or usability. In a way I think the Information Architect is like the webmaster of old, doing what needs to be done, whether it was in the job description or not.

Honkworm!
I first discovered the strange stylings of Honkworm at Egreetings.com, where they produced a set of christmas cards featuring beerswilling cigar chomping fish and a drunken frog in a santa hat. I ventured to the site, to watch all the fishbar shows, including the surreal french fish who expose the "dream life of fish" as well and bonk each other on the head with baguettes.
Also available are
- "The Siliconites", three trendy "friends" who site around a bar table pondering an existance that offers nothing more scarey than getting rich and a woman who refeses to be your girlfriend.
- "Fatman", the adventures of a overweight superhero
- and "Bone", featuring the memorable quote, "Dammit Jim, I'm dead"
and a few other odd animations in a variety of formats including flash, realplayer, quick time and windows media.
A find!
