Jacob Nielsen, one of the foremost practitioners of Usability Testing and author of several excellent texts on the subject, has taken a first stab at studying the usability of iPad applications and posted his results as the April 26, 2010 article of Alertbox, his online column about usability.  His conclusions, unfortunately, suggest that despite the hype the user experience on the iPad is far

My new employer, DotNetNuke Corporation is big on community given that the product started as and continues to be driven by open source development principles. I've been asked to start a blog on the company site where I can discuss User Experience issues and initiatives related to the DotNetNuke platform and share interesting news and useful information related to the field of User Experience.

Yay for me! I started today as the User Interface Developer for DotNetNuke Corporation today – a small company managing a Web Content Management Server application also called DotNetNuke (DNN) written for ASP.NET and SQL Server.  There’s a marked similarity to NCompass Labs in its early days, so I kind of feel like I’m going back to my roots (I started at NCompass as a "Demo Programmer" writing "

Yes, I’m back on the job hunter trail again. My previous employer was a start up and they have used up too much of their funding before getting to a point where new investors could be attracted. So they laid off the entire development team on Dec 21, 2009, ostensibly for a “6 week development break” – they have a plan to attract new investment with the existing product and then re-hire the dev

Having recently started to work in the social media industry I realized I didn’t actually know all that much about it. Up until now I primarily associated the term “social media” with community sites like My Space and Facebook, blogging sites like Blogger and LiveJournal video sharing sites like YouTube and microblogging sites like Twitter. However, I have quite quickly come to realize

Well hello and welcome! An eon ago in internet time (>4 years), when I was working in the Windows Security group at Microsoft, I maintained a "professional" blog on Technet (strawberryJAMM's Security and User Experience WebLog). I essentially abandoned it when I left Microsoft and the Security field in the winter of 2005 and, for a variety of reasons, never felt the desire to start a new one.
