On the subject of online usability tools

OK this crazy egg ( what an old sounding dot com name  is there a generator some where). Is I suspect some smart Java script with is picking up the mouse movements on a website and then revisulasing them back AS IF they where eye tracking data.

They don't get people to actually look at your site  ( which is the handy part ) your watching in the wild users.
For $108 per month sounds interesting once you have a sight up and working and want to see why its not working.

Wineshop



58 days and counting to the CHI deadline. 4 days from HCI2012 notification and 14 days before the TEI deadline ( ow).

I just had an email from a Wine Merchants magazine wanting to do a piece on Gonzalo's wineshop ( see http://makingsenseofspace.com/blog/the-smart-pop-up-wine-shop-demo/). I've responded positively so lets hope something comes from it.

Gonzalo's work was fab, I hope his thesis will do the experiment justice.

Durrell Bishop Marble Answer Machine 
Oh this one of those master projects which changed the world. I remember seeing this at the Doors of Perception conference and being blown away by it. Its twenty years later and we still haven't had anything as immediately accessible as this. I've described it to numerous people and it never fails to impress. I'm glad the original video is on line now.
