See you in 1984

A List Apart’s Survey (for people who make websites) is back and it’s better than ever. It takes less than 5 mins and the results will be available in just a few weeks.

On Monday, November 30, 2009, thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content. This is the third year Blue Beanie Day will be celebrated.

This is a picture of the emergency phone compartment in the elevator at my work.

Just a few user experience issues here:

• It’s a phone and it’s locked up, why?
• Break glass to open door. So is there some sort of triggering mechanism on the lock where it unlocks once the glass is broken?
• What kind of special emergency phone is this that has to be locked up?
• How do we know there is a phone? You can’t see it behind the glass.

Thank GOD they decided not to lock-up the stop elevator and alarm buttons or somebody would be in a pretty pickle.
