Research Blunders or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Fuck Up

Presented at User Research Friday, November 19, 2010
My job
My support system
Some tools I have used to eff up research data:
What won’t tell you...
Tools won’t tell you when your audio is full of gross noises.
Tools won’t tell you when your video is X-rated.
Censored
Tools won’t filter out embarrassing interruptions to your test.
Tools won’t tell you that they suck.
The power of the eff-up.
The power of the eff-up.
And that’s why I’ve learned to stop worrying and love the fuck-up.
