Found on gtdtimes.com: A Little Bit of Inspiration via Parkour: it’s all in your mind…

There are two themes here that I felt related well to GTD, first, the idea of responding appropriately to any situation… The second theme relates to mental discipline and the ability to overcome obstacles through the power of the mind.

I’ve been writing up research summaries and proposals and just penned this inelegant but hopefully useful statement on what I perceive as the value of user testing.

We’re working with a very small sample size and are not claiming that these are statistically significant results. Rather, the usability sessions are thoughtful, detailed conversations about our product with people who are looking at new features with fresh eyes; and if they’ve used the product before, they’re sharing real-life perspectives on how they experience it.

Two months without a post! There have been many better things to do than blog, such as:

• Traveling to hot places
  • Palm Springs and Joshua Tree
  • Orlando and Ocala, with a stop at Disney World
• Participating in SF absurdity
  • Bring Your Own Bigwheel race in Potrero Hill
  • Watching dodgeball games
  • Checking out the robots and mayhem at Maker Faire
• Just hanging around Potrero
  • Shooting portraits of Amy and Liz and climbing trees
  • Playing Scrabble, poorly
