Developing Usable Experiences

Thursday morning post

I should be reading chapters for class tomorrow but I’m sipping a cup of coffee, foraging circumstances. I have one night that I can work on class assignments before lectures tomorrow. There is time in the morning, but not a lot if I’m to meet with DK to talk about blogging and whatever. Work is interesting as always. Full of opportunity and rife with matters dealing of people, information, and technology.

The Wife returned from New York late last night having been to the headquarters of the business division where we both work. She is still sleeping, and I should be reading the next chapter in “Microeconomics and Behavior” or generating some activity on my class blog experiment. “Attention”, as one professor asserts, is and has always been the scarce resourse. A blog is interesting when you stumble upon them, but is there more value when there is evidence of attention? I’ve vested about 15 minutes of attention into writing this entry. And now ~10 seconds of your attention.

One way that I can gauge attention, assuming of course that some of this is “noise”, is to compare this with this and this. How long will they get attention? Are these numbers sufficient to recognize a behavior pattern? A changing graph would be better, but this is a start.

I’ve been thinking about (get this…my step mother that I’ve never met) out west with my oldest brother and father. We have exchanged a couple emails. Here’s to you CB.

    I’ve been reading your blog. It’s very interesting. Notice only one space between sentences? That’s a tough habit to break.

    Do you still keep in touch with CB? Or have any idea where he is? It would be pretty wild to hear from him.

    Back to work…keep up the good work on your blog here…it’s fascinating.
