Oh, the irony. I know this is an easy mistake to make, but they have blue links and then they used blue to highlight their (non-linked) list of topics to discuss! I like the idea, though it would have been better to see a more thoughtful name if they intend this for an adult audience. HCI Fun immediately makes me think that it is kid-oriented effort, and I automatically tune out. I think that using tangible objects to talk about usability is an excellent way to discuss the practice. Don Norman's Design of Everyday Things is a good example of that. I constantly refer to it to get common ground when talking to someone about web applications and sites. Posted by: Lydia on October 9, 2002 03:37 PM
Someone knows how to misuse dreamweaver, and as I can't see java applets in my browser I am totally excluded. Posted by: Mac on October 10, 2002 05:10 AM
