Tuesday, 14 November 2006, is World Usability Day. Visit the website to sign the charter and get information on events by region. Over 210 events in 39 countries are scheduled!

While you're at the site, visit Take a Red Balloon for a Walk! And click the link to the photos on Flickr...some are priceless. (Be sure to take your camera along so that you can snap some pix of things that are...or aren't!...usable. The one I love the best is the drive-up banking machine with braille.)

For those in the Boston area, the Museum of Science is the meeting place, from 9 am to 5 pm (Museum entrance required). Take the green line to Science Park and participate in activities sponsored by the Usability Professionals' Association (Boston Chapter), BostonCHI, and Boston IA, including the Great Sock Sort, Doors to Usability, Instruction Blocks, and Remote Control superUser.
