Cinematic Countermeasure
How cool is that? Very soon we'll be able to walk on the Sidewalks in New York without having to worry about stepping on any DVDs? It's like how'd they do that?

Here’s a good conversation that caught my attention on Webword again.
Is there something wrong with our profession? Usability, UI Design, IA etc that is.. all of it? Where is everybody going? How long does one stay in Usability? If they don’t gain the “fame” that is.. ;o)) Cameron Barrett of Camworld has been out for awhile now. I think he’s looking for alternatives in Siberia even! Is it that bad? Geesh.. Madman?? Him, I know. No matter what he decides to do, he will never be able to get usability out of his blood completely.. if nothing else, I won’t stop buggin him with all of my silly questions and requests… I think he was made for Usability, (that was a compliment..) Madman, whatever you do don’t take away your picture with the monkey… I love it.. It’s something warm to look at on line… :o))
As for me, I am still in this ridiculous lock-up. Today is hopefully the last day and I am typing away in the conference room right now. We are finally reviewing the User Requirements doc that was created. No commenting really… We just listen and go “uh-huh I agree 10000%” unless if we really want to commit suicide.. :o)) Love this. I don’t think I can ever get enough of the ways that we can tick people off with our profession… It’s probably the most “tick-off” job that exists! :o) You can tick off developers, programmers, Users, stakeholders… the list goes on and on and on… and on… I am not complaining because part of the challenge is to find ways to keep people calm. Thank GOD for my psychology background. ;oppppp
Oh, and does anybody else have a manager who’s an ex-marine? :o)))) That gets even more interesting than ever before.. nobody knows what to do with him… don’t even nod… forget about eye contact or you’re dead… But I enjoy this.. who knows? Maybe all these hours and weeks in lockup finally got to me. :o)
I’ll update you on the “Designing for everybody” issue. Did it ever take a twist…
