long time, no post

Work has been absolute hell lately - and by that I mean that I logged 46 hours this week. I'm trying to get in touch with Oracle user experience through my SI connection, Cari, so that I can give them a piece of my mind. Honestly, it seems like somebody just *forgot* to consult designers, user researchers, and usability folks when they were putting the Portal app together. WTF.

Anyhoo, my coworker pointed me to this URL, http://www.designcritique.net. Guess who runs it? Good ol' Tom Brink. I've been to the site before, but this time around I actually sat down to listen to a podcast, and yup, that's Tom all right.
