That's Saturday, the 18th, if you don't have a calculator.
We're leaving early tomorrow for a week-long vacation to the east coast. Part wedding shower, part quality family time, part friend reunion and a lot of relaxing on the beach at Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
I will be working in the form of doing a little research on design research. If you're interested, here are some books I'm taking with me:
While I'm at it, I have a question for anyone that wants to leave a comment while I'm gone. Here is my challenge- I need to be able make a convincing case for design research. Building usable products is the obvious answer, but what else is there? Why would a company do design research before creating a new tool or product? What does design research mean to you?
Anyone? Anyone? Buuuueller?
Have a suggestion? Tell us about it, please.

Thanks for the tip on Donald Norman's 'The Design of Everyday Things'. I am a fan of his 'Invisible Computer' book. It is an interesting read for those of us who have a love/hate relationship with computers.
