Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday
On my way home I coincidentally saw three friends from three different areas of my life: high school, college, and church, within half-of-an-hour. I reexamined the ARIADNE interface, through the online demonstration. I attended my second Mariner's game in Seattle! The Mariners' beat the Detroit Tigers 13-3!, with 9 runs (including a grand slam) in the first inning! iMed Meeting #12: usability measurements Morgan's farewell luncheon at Agua Verde Beginning of Vacation Bible School at ECC (Evangelical Chinese Church) in Seattle iMed Meeting #13: Meredith presented and requested feedback on her interface designs.

This past week, I've been mainly reading more articles on collaboration and interface design, and writing specifications for paths. I've also fleshed out the DynaCat project overview that I started a few weeks ago.

The iMed meetings this week have helped me to think about other aspects of interface design and testing: navigation with the interface, usability measurements.

My goals for the coming week:
~ Finish the specifications, scope notes, and scenarios for paths.
~ Get some advice about graduate schools and programs.
~ Find out about possible grad school funding: fellowships, research...
~ Ask about final preparations for end of internship.
