User Experience enlightenment - the transition

Over the past six months I have been transitioning into the User Experience realm. User interface design has been a simmering passion of mine since my earliest experience with computers. So from here on in you can expect to see posts on techniques I am trying out with clients, rants about bizarre designs, and helping you sell and spread the UX message in your organisations - and of course it wouldn't be an Microsoft blog if I didn't occasionally mention the MIX conference, WPF, Silverlight and the Expression tools.
