The text of this book

Sunday, 22 June 2008 @ 21:10

I was reading a story to my daughter this evening and noticed that within the copyright information inside the front cover, the author has chosen to include information about the typeface used. I wish all books had this information.

If you’re interested, the book is Gossie by Olivier Dunrea and it’s a wonderful book.

The Eyes Have It (NUCHI Meeting - Thurs, June 26)

Wednesday, 18 June 2008 @ 13:37

NUCHI will be holding a demo and discussion of the TOBII eye tracking system. Eye tracking systems are used in larger usability studies. This is a rare opportunity!

More info on eye tracking research can be found here: http://www.useit.com/eyetracking/

———————————————–

Here is the info from NUCHI:

What is NUCHI?
The Northern Utah chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). *Yes, it’s a mouthful!*

Time & Location
7:00pm Thursday, June 26, 2008 at NextPage, 13997 S. Minuteman Drive, Draper. (map)

Topic
See a demonstration of a TOBII eye tracking system used in software usability analysis. Join in a discussion of what this technology can find that other methods can’t.

Also, see a new application of the Microsoft Ribbon technology and how it is being applied to navigate complex clinical software. This software is being developed with Microsoft Expressions Blend and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This process is intended to let designers build the software interface and interaction and pass it directly to developers.

Carl Bechtold is an Intermountain Healthcare Human Factors Engineer on loan to the GE/Intermountain partnership. That partnership is developing an Enterprise Clinical Information System (ECIS) for Intermountain and commercial deployment through GE Healhtcare.

Hello,
We are alpaca breeders in Utah and need a logo. We are on a sight called elogocontest.com and we are going to award $200.00 for the logo that we pick as the best to represent our company. Look for “Logo Design Contest for Acres Wild Alpacas”.
Please take a look and make a little bank.
Kindly,
Mary

job announcement form no longer requires account

Sunday, 19 October 2008 @ 18:50

I am pleased to announce that the job announcement form on the website no longer requires the user to be logged in. This is significant as most people posting job announcements are managers, human resources staff, or recruiters and therefor have no reason to have an account. If you are someone that only created an account to post a job, please send me a note so that we can remove your profile.
