I get angry everytime that I think about how a few vile people attacked Kathy and shut down one of the best blogs to grace the internet, Creating Passionate Users (http://headrush.typepad.com/ http://headrush.typepad.com/).
After she stopped blogging, I wrote a program to scrap her TypePad site and then hand edited down all of her posts into a single, massive book. I printed a single copy on Lulu for myself which I've marked up with highligher and pen calling out all of her incredible points.
I don't want to earn any money from her work, so here's a link to download a free PDF copy of the best of her blog:
http://www.kevinmconroy.com/pdf/creating_passionate_users.pdf http://www.kevinmconroy.com/pdf/creating_passionate_users.pd...
It's print-ready for you to upload to your favorite self publishing book website (e.g. lulu.com) and print your own copy.
Thank you for continuing to inspiring me Kathy.
- mhartl 14y agoI assume you mean s/scrap/scrape/.
- kevinconroy 14y agoYes, sorry about that unfortunate typo.
- tnorthcutt 14y agoThanks for posting this.
- enraged_camel 14y agoSecond this. Thank you sir.
- amix 14y agoI also found Kathy's blog very insightful and it's a great tragedy that she stopped writing. An eye-opener for me was her "Is Twitter TOO good?" post: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2007/03/is_twitter_too_.html http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2007/0... For me, this opened up how I thought about products, especially in terms of psychology. I can't really remember when I have read that insightful posts from anybody else (and Kathy had a ton of them).
- smeez 14y agoThanks so much for posting this Kevin! I was late to the party in terms of reading her blog, so I'm glad I now have "the best of" collection. You rock!
