Carson Workshops Summit happened yesterday in London. I was not in London but have previously attended Ryan Carson’s excellent workshops.
I’m really looking forward to this message that Ryan put on the webpage:

I like Wordpress Dashboard. The name suggests that it’s an overview of whats relevant to your blog. What’s happening. What’s popular. Who comments. What important updates are available. The Dashboard should work like in a car. The most important and relevant information should be visible at a glance. Lets have a brief look at the dashboard.
I suggest you only take a brief look to judge for your self whether you think the main objectives of the Dashboard page are met.
Click on the screenshot above for and look for 5 seconds only. Then ask yourself what you could remember from the page. Yup you just tried a 5 second usability test.

It’s important to use video clips to make your points, as I argued earlier. In usability, video clips document research and guidelines. Ironically, video clips are hard to find (if available at all). However, one exception shines in the dark night of publically available usability videos.
Jakob Nielsen posted an article today in his ‘alertbox’ column about video on the net, where you can actually see a videoclip. He presented the video clip at lasth week’s “Usability Dagene 2005”.
