It really is a spam-bot of sorts. I wonder if it's customized around my passcode. Let me see if I can neutralize it. How interesting. It really is a spam-bot of sorts.

People get offended when comments are removed so I will leave this mysterious-ness here unless other oddities appear.

Makes me nervous for some reason :) I've been to Ohio a few times in my life. Nice place. No immediate plans unfortunately. “WUD” sounds like “WMD.” Makes me nervous for some reason :) I’ve been to Ohio a few times in my life. Nice place. No immediate plans unfortunately.

Perhaps Parade magazine would like to do something next year that is more tightly linked to WUD. Maybe a "guide to holiday gadget buying that makes life simpler" that they publish and is integrated into various WUD events. Maybe Bose, which appears to advertise a lot in Parade, could tout their user centered design methods. Or some other article that let's consumers know that there are companies that care about making life simple. And so on. Keith PS Does your book tour bring you through Ohio?

I was personally chided by <a href="http://www.worldusabilityday.org/press/press-coverage-for-world-usability-day-2005" rel="nofollow">Liz</a> for not working to promote WUD more. Everyone follow Director Liz! Thanks for bring it up Keith. I was personally chided by Liz for not working to promote WUD more. Everyone follow Director Liz!

It was published the same week as World Usability Day (November 14th). If so, great timing! See http://worldusabilityday.org/ for more information.

However just 5 short video clips of The Office at nbc.com make me laugh. Now I understand where your humor came from. There is no way for me to watch The Office in my country.
