I'm a usability specialist investigating analysis and design of multi-user interaction. My doctoral work centered around using discourse analysis techniques to understand design requirements for groupware. I am currently employed helping to design a complex versioning/building/testing system.
In my spare time, I write science fiction; my novel Duplicate is available as an eBook, paperback, or hardcover. Yes, there's a fair amount of User Experience in it. ;)
My statements on these websites are not official statements from any employer of mine.

Is fixed, persistent navigation now considered good UX? It's hard to talk about "good UX". It's much easier to make a claim for "appropriate"... |

Why do Cozy Coupés have a huge compartment that gathers rain-water? It's a trunk. It's as realistically shaped as the rest of the vehicle. It was handy for storing sandwiches. |

Telling user about updates in interface +1 for nudges. Every time a website updates and tells me about it, invariably it does so by interrupting me when I'm on my way to do something else. I quickly hit "SKIP!" and then miss out on the updates--often with no way to get back to the update tutorial! |

North American electrical outlet, why so sad? Also, you might consider asking this on diy.stackexchange.com instead. |

North American electrical outlet, why so sad? Because they're installed upside down! Having the ground pin on the top is theoretically safer, because anything falling on a partly exposed plug will not short hot and neutral together. |

Why does scrolling when dragging an element scroll faster on mouse wiggle? Maybe they're triggering the scroll event more often because it's happening on every mousemove event, as well as some timed hover event? |

How to measure phone number views without annoying the user? Ironic: Now that Google Plus and other sites use this design to gather more analytics, as a user I hate it. Ah well. |

Are mega footers good UX? What does "good UX" mean? In what context? for what user? trying to perform what tasks? |
