This is bound to change, but the general idea of this weblog is to cover matters reating to usability and user-centered design as well as larger issues involving experience design and the user experience in general. In addition, I’ll be listing some of the other great but random stuff on the web as well as the occasional rant or personal tidbit.

There are several great user experience weblogs, Elegant Hack and PeterMe among the better ones (and those two are good kids, too), but I’d like to keep things a bit more down-in-the-dirt and pragmatic around here, while also keeping a greater emphasis on matters relating to usability.This will likely fail, as blogging tends to provoke reflection on higher levels, but I wanted to throw that out as a goal anyway.

I’m a generalist by disposition, a biologist by training, and a musician by whatever. Keep that in mind as you read — there’s a pattern here, somewhere.

Let me know what you think about this weblog, good or bad. And you: (yes, you) start publishing as well, whether it’s an entire website or just a music review. You’re not watching TV or reading a book, you’re participating in an online communal experience - start acting like it.
