Almost to the end...

I've been reading up on usability and interface design. Very interesting stuff -- I've learned all sorts of things that'll make Beyond more user-friendly. I read one book last night and I'm starting another one today, and I've got about five more to read through. I'd better learn to read faster. :)

Took two finals yesterday. One went better than I expected, and one fell off the opposite end of the scale. Not catastrophically, but enough to seriously alter my grade, which was disconsoling.

On a happier note, I discovered Ruby on Rails today. I've seen people write about it for the past few months, but for some reason I thought it was arcane and not worth knowing. Judging by their website and the presentations, however, it looks like it's really neat. I'll write more as I delve into it (but probably not for another couple of weeks, since I have one more final tomorrow and then I leave for Mexico).
