World Usability Day
Visit the World Usability Day site and take in the world-wide activities that are happening today. This one sounded entertaining (in Auckland, New Zealand)
If today's activities inspire you, you might consider joining the Usability Professionals Association.
A hiliarious remote control shootout! Eight attendees vied for the title of "Owner of the most unusable remote control".Another good resource is Jakob Nielson's site useit that focuses primarily on web usability. The remarkable thing about this site is that inspite of the fact that web development has been going on for around 10 years, the same mistakes keep getting made over and over again.
The winner wasn't actually the most number of buttons, or the least amount of buttons actually used - but the one that managed to switch off all the electrical equipment in the room through the accidental push of a random button!

Are you going to the Dayton event tonite?
I would love to, but I think this nasty cold that I have is going to prevent me from going.
I was a bit surprised that there was an event in this area. In looking into a bit further it seems that most people involved are coming at it from the industrial engineering aspect rather than the computer/HID aspect.
