We, the people who design software, must keep in mind that we are not designing for an art gallery. Simply creating beautiful things is just not good enough. We are designing products that will be used by humans who want to reach specific goals. We can’t just make stuff up and hope that it’s good enough. We need to do usability tests, we need to make sure our products are accessible, we need to make sure users can actually reach their goals. Statistical analysis is just one of the tools at our disposal.

...this is the personal website of Bill Dobie. I'm an entrepreneur from Canada who luckily gets to travel the world as we build our business. I get to work on a wide variety of information, data, software, design, energy and shipping problems...and indulge my own fascination with almost all things digital and otherwise. This personal site includes daily links I like, potentially a post on what I'm doing and every now and then brief ramblings on business, life, politics, technology and too much travel.
