Using Crazyegg to find UI errors
I really appreciated everyone’s points about the UI for my latest project FlMillion.com. So, as I evaluated them I also signed up for Crazyegg to get some anonymous user feedback. (I originally tried clickheat but gave up on getting it working after 2 days).

The First Episode of DoctypeTV →
I met Nick and Jim at the Front-End Design Conference this year and have bumped into them at Barcamp Tampa Bay and then LessConf. So, when they mentioned that they were putting together a show I was very eager to check it out.
