World Usability Day 2006

November 14th is World Usability Day! I know, I’m a day late. However, I promise that I made usable things yesterday. And the days before. And I promise for days that haven’t even passed yet, I will continue to make usable things. Wow, that is starting to sound more and more like a pledge of […]

Web 2.0 Explained

Everyone keeps asking me what the heck Web 2.0 means. I think I can answer it. Or at least that’s what I thought when I started writing. After about two minutes of thinking about it, I realized that I could not fully explain it, of course, since Web 2.0 is something and nothing all at […]

Since about mid December I have lost my appetite for lying in bed with my eyes closed - accomplishing nothing. There are so many things to do during the waking hours that I feel like I’m missing during […]

Great Things

I want to accomplish great things
There are so many things that I want to create or do. Tonight I am going to start a list in a text file on my desktop of “things I want to do.” Nicole and I have successfully occupied all of our waking time with stuff to do. It seems […]

RIT Social Computing Club

Nicole and I went to our first RIT Social Computing meeting tonight. The meetings are each Monday at 6pm at Java Wally’s next to the RIT library. It was good except for the music playing, which was very bad. In fact it was so bad [the music] that I missed part of the meeting because […]
