Just wanted to drop a line to mention that there's an initiative
underway to create a Arizona chapter of the Usability Professionals
Association <http://www.upassoc.org/>. This is one of the primary
bodies for people who work within this arena. Having attended quite a
few meetings while I was back in DC, I can vouch that its a legit org
that's worth your time.
Chris Brya has set up a blog where you can hear about updates as they
materialize <http://arizonaupa.blogspot.com/>. If you're interested,
head over there and sign up for email notices.
More to come....
