		<description><![CDATA[This is a nice synopsis of Steve Portugal&#8217;s virtual seminar on &#8220;Deep Dive Interview Secrets&#8221; culled from Twitter.
http://www.thingsontop.com/remixing-deep-dive-interviewing-secrets-990.html
I conduct a lot of user interviews, and most of them by phone. Interviewing by phone makes the rhythm of the interaction much different, and the tips for in-person interviews are helpful.
I would also add that interview topics [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite design details of any product I&#8217;ve seen is the power cord that comes on the Breville Juicer. Instructions always tell you that you should remove the power cord from the outlet by pulling on the end, rather than pulling on the cord. Breville creates a simple affordance that not only makes [...]]]></description>

Running off an on for over twenty years I’ve had some consistent physical nags, for a lack of anything better to call it: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is mostly interesting for the coinage of the term “crowdsourcing” (no idea how long this has been around) where instead of outsourcing development to an entity, you get it on a network like facebook and let the facebook crowd do the design and development. The supposition is also that you end up with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep finding myself reverse engineering databases in order to understand the underlying data model. There are a bunch of tools out there that will do this including DeZign and ModelRight, both of which are PC only. I generally work on a Mac but have my old PC as a backup. Anyway, it turns out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interestingly, crossing Amalfi&#8217;s coastal range is similar in climate to crossing the mountains east of San Francisco. One goes from a cool welcome climate to severe, unbearably hot desert quickly. Still in a jet-lag induced stupor we took the directions to Pompeii from the  hotel concierge. They assured us it was easier than getting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently switched allegiances from MyYahoo. This has been a long time coming, but its amazing how fast the transition was once I started. Generally speaking, I am not a Google early adopter. I find their applications generally rough (read beta) and as much hype as function.
I would not have switched at all had I [...]]]></description>
