I'll be in town all day with my daughter for a campus visit to ISU. Might as well stick around for the meeting and see what's new from DrupalCamp CO.

As to our discussion about Information Architects, check out Jared Spool's comments:

And if you've an hour+, listen to his keynote address where he challenges the need for IAs (slides + audio):

Jared Spool is another big name in the UX world - he constantly challenges the assumptions of the Information Architecture discipline and I find his approach refreshing.
