Sep. 19th, 2008 08:46 pmI guess it's been a long week. Umm. There was work, there was gaming. I cocked up the tactics of the NPCs in the big fight in NeeverWinter, to the players benefit for a change.
This afternoon I wandered into Borders looking for a particular book (Web Form Design, Luke Wroblowski), but they didn't have it. Once I failed to find anything else really atrtactive by browsing the rest of the computers section I swung by the Design* section and found a copy of The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman (2002 edition), a title I've seen referenced in quite a number of places.
They also had his later book The Design of Future Things but I browsed that and decided it wasn't worth the extra $$.
*I periodically consider trying to learn things like colour theory and typography and such - these would be useful skills to have a proper grounding in for my line of work.
It's wierd - I feel like I have a free evenng with no particular tasks pressing. No shortage on my to-do list though.
