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.

Check out Donald Norman's books on usability. Excellent stuff!
