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. ;)

comment Alternatives to pie charts in a table
I'm going to accept this, though I'll likely use some variation of it (e.g., I only have a few pixels of height to work with) as at least it's a new direction.

Why do you recommend sorting by size rather than in a fixed order? (I'm curious about your thoughts, not pushing one over the other.)
