Statistical analysis in interaction design

Recently I had the opportunity to discuss the use of statistical analysis
techniques with a group of professional and semi-professional information
architects and user experience practitioners. It seems that the level of
sophistication and rigour applied to data gathering and, in particular,
statistical analysis is quite varied.

Budget Allocation

Hi there,

I'm looking for some information on the budgets allocated to the initial
definition/design phase in a "typical" website/web application project, ie
requirements gathing, IA, prototyping, wireframing and user testing.

Roughly what percentage is spent on these activities in comparison to the
cost of developing the entire project?

STC conference in Seattle - any IxD presence?

Colleagues,

If any of you is attending STC conference and would like to meet up,
please identify yourself by leaving your name and contacts at the
conference booth attention Lada Gorlenko IxDG.

Interesting thing about the conference: it's not what we would consider
our traditional place to go, yet the opening session speaker was by
Patrick Whitney, Director of Institute of Design at the Illinois
Institute of Technology. Design is looking big indeed!

free!

Hope that all is well!

David

stores and edible menus!

Interactive Art

There is a great interactive art show running off-Broadway called Slava's
snow show (http://www.snowshowusa.com/). "Its Blue man group meets Cirque de
Soleil". Amazing production values and great performances won't fail to
bring out the child in you.

But the venue (Union Square theatre) is hardly a suitable one for such an
experience. You had to be in the first 2-3 rows to get the most of it.
Anyone aware of venues that are specially built for such interactive shows?

Narrowcasting

Hello People on the list.
This is my loosing-my-virginity message, so I hope you'll be gentle with
it.
I recently (2 hours ago) started working on a narrowcasting project:
narrowcasting, also named lots of other names, is a system that involves
several screens and one source of broadcasting. It is mostly used for
messages, ads in shopping malls or public transport, etc. those things
the masses pass-by without paying to much attention, or pay to much
attention while their wallets are being stolen.

my new mobile UXD blog

I've decided to enter the blog space. I have a new UxD blog at http://mobileuxd.blogspot.com/.

It will deal primarily with mobile UXD but also touches on other UxD issues, but it is also a personal blog.

Main menu convention on Windows

True or false?

In any Windows GUI application (non-web), the menu bar
at the top should provide access to *all* user
commands of that application, despite other
alternatives to user commands (short-cuts,
toolbuttons, pop-up menus).

I have seen many applications that don't follow this.
E.g. the Microsoft Paint does not have menus for the
tools on the tool palette on the right hand side.
What is the correct guideline for this? The MS
Windows UI Experience book doesn't say.
