It’s been two years since this blog was born. Happy birthday, little blog! The quantity of posts has not rocked the blogosphere, but oh well.

1 CommentIt’s November 13th, 2008 – World Usability Day! There are live WUD2008 events scheduled to take place around the world. There are many online WUD2008 events, too.
