Carpool to DUX 2005?

Hi people,

Is anyone commuting to the DUX 2005 conference from the SF Peninsula who
would like to carpool? I'll buy all gas if you drive.

I'm attending starting with the opening plenary Thursday, then all day
Friday.

Touchscreen target size

Hi Norm, et al.,

I was browsing the contents of Ergonomics (I *must* get a life!) and was reminded of Norm Cox's inquiry on the above subject on 10Oct2005.

>From the list archives, his request was:
--
It's been a while since I've designed a touch screen interface, so... given a 15" LCD display and finger for stylus, what's the general consensus for the size of a discreet target? In the olden days on a CRT, it was typically about 20mm or 3/4". Given the reduction in paralax, improvements in touchscreen technologies, and such, what is a "standard" target size?

Hi David,

In my opinion, you shouldn't care what *I* (or potentially most others on
this list) like for navigation.

Left Nav, Right Nav. What Nav, Should It Have?

Hi. My name is David and I like right navs (better than left navs).
Thank you for hearing my confession.

Why I like right nav...
Content in the main body of the page takes center stage. The body
content is the first thing you see when the page loads. Yes the nav is
always there but its not in your face. Its there when you need it but
doesn't seem to compete with the body content as much.

There's a Toronto UX Irregulars meetup next Thursday, Nov 3rd to celebrate

There's Wifi, so bring your laptop/whatever and feel free to do a
little show and tell/whatever if you're so inclined. It's the typical
eclectic affair.
