For me, yesterday was more interesting than Wednesday’s sessions. Saw a presentation of the user experience process at Tivo. Sounds like they are very mature in their adoption of usability. Like they actually understand that usability is their differentiator, they don’t just give lip service to it. Large team with dedicated researchers, designers, prototypers, so by the time specs are handed to engineering they have a pretty good idea they’re on the right track. Sounds wonderful. If you can put up with that much TV talk. I worry for the state of the world when there are people who take their Tivo on vacation with them. 
Lively panel discussion about building usability in organizations. Fitting, given the team envy which had set in during the morning discussion… Nice to hear that others feel like their organizational politics present a huge battle. OK not nice but reassuring.
Early to bed last night. Must be adjusting to the timezone now… it’s 4:47 Pacific and I’m half ready to go out the door.
