Maybe every other page did Pretty good general read on usability and user experience, that draws on the personal experience of a thought leader in the field.

Jul 23, Chris Witt rated it really liked it. Having been in the Web Design Game for over a dozen years now, this definitely hit home. If you are like me and are often irritated at how developers think like "power users" instead of like "normal people", then this will resonate with you.
