World Usability Day is coming, and Chicago’s theme is “It Makes $ense.” That’s Chicago in three words, really. If it doesn’t pass the common sense and financial test, it’s not going to get done. Sometimes I wonder if that limits how often we attempt to look off to the horizon, though. At least, it feels that way to me sometimes, so I am excited to hear from Jeremy Alexis of IIT’s Institute of Design talking about the future of user experience design. I thought Patrick Whitney was speaking at some point, too.

Anyhow—I’m going to be a panelist at the WUD, talking with Dayna Bateman of Hammacher Schlemmer and John Yesko of Fry. We’re presenting on usability as its practiced at each of our companies, retailer, consultancy, and travel site. I’m representing for Orbitz, yo. I’m really excited and honored to be asked. I hope to have a good presentation, good enough to inspire some questions.
