 The workshop!

My next do-it-yourself usability testing workshop is coming up soon--in London on March 2nd.

And as usual, Lou Rosenfeld will be teaching his site search analytics workshop the day before mine.

We'll also be heading for Seattle sometime in June. If you’d like to be notified when we settle on a date, just sign up for my mailing list.

 I got to meet Spolsky!

A lot of people have told me they enjoyed the video of my presentation at Joel Spolsky's Business of Software conference. It's called The Least You Can Do™ about Usability.

And yes, I do have shirts that fit me. Apparently I was not wearing one that day. My apologies. Just avert your eyes.

I've also posted my slides from the recent Voices That Matter conference. My talk—about things I've figured out since I wrote Don't Make Me Think—was called What I Have Learned So Far in the 21st Century. (No audio, just the slides.)

This Month's Tip

(and Last Month's Tip, since June 1997)

       “If you really want to know if your
        Web site works, ask your next
        door neighbor to try using it, while
        you watch.

        (You bring the beer.)”

 The new book!

It took nine years, but I've finally written another one.

This time it's a how-to book that explains exactly how to do your own discount usability testing.

Interviews

Here are a whole bunch of interviews I've done: some audio, some video, some plain old-fashioned text. (Notice how I struggle not to give the same answer twice.)

And finally, a cybercast of a presentation Lou Rosenfeld and I did together, analyzing the Library of Congress Web site.
