08:06 am - Usability Observations for the Morning
1. Default selections are not always a good idea. While you may be confident that most of your users will indeed select "White" from the Race selection box on your demographic questionnaire, it's pretty insensitive to set it as the default.
2. If you are writing a book on usability, you'll make yourself much more credible if you put the page number, chapter number, and chapter title in a consistent location on every page in the book. Usability isn't just about software.
10:33 am - Beans
*sigh* I don't enjoy April Fool's Day. I don't enjoy having pranks pulled on me, I don't enjoy pulling them on others, and I'm not even good at setting pranks up. So I tend to try to ignore the whole thing.
Unfortunately that means I wasn't prepared for the unfamiliar-looking jelly bean I took from the nerd feeder just now.
