location: union square

i have a seminar this morning about common software application usability mistakes in union square. so i’m checking email in a starbucks again. darn handy to have these hotspots everywhere. wish every building had a wireless net though.

last night went to see The Matrix Reloaded with 250 of my friends and their friends. It was a completely new movie going experience, walking into the theater and finding friends chatting, catching up, cracking jokes all over the theater. Even after the film everyone was chatting and laughing so long security had to usher us out of the theater. it was distinctly less commercial and institutional. i never want to see a movie any other way now.

life on the road…

ahhhhh… moving is done. yesterday I picked up the last little coffee table and we’re all now completely moved out of the old house. it’s not even my coffee table, not sure whose but it’s going to goodwill soon.

i’m writing from a Starbucks internet hotspot. I know, I know… at least i’m not buying coffee here, just taking up valuable real estate in the store for my internet fix. life on the road requires some sacrifice.

i’m attending a usability conference in san francisco today. picked up some good testing tips already and had a good idea for testing brain dominance in test subjects using a quick card sorting test.

i won’t be able to update as often while i’m on the road, until i get this whole internet connection thing worked out.
