IDblog ... an information design weblog

You want me to click where?

Kudos to Kath Straub of HFI for a very interesting usability presentation tonight. Frankly, the only reason I was there was because the professor of my UCD class had made it a field trip.

Can I tell you how, umm, excited I was to go to a class that was advertised as covering:

  • What is usability?
  • Things usability folks obsess over
  • Why should you care?
  • How can you apply it?

I may not be a usability professional, but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck either.

Fortunately, Kath was an extremely entertaining speaker, and it appears that the presentation she gave, while targeted at a novice group, had been well polished with all sorts of old examples (the horrible old IRS page) and new. Alas, I can't find an online version, so this will just have to serve as a heads up to keep your eyes open in case she comes to a conference near you. A PhD in cognitive psych *and* a sense of humor?!? Go figure!
