About webword
I'm a usability engineer by training and education. That means I like to talk, write, and complain about things that I use. Every place I look, things are too hard to use. I work to improve technology for people.

I'm currently employed as a Corporate Webmaster at a global manufacturing company. We make huge machines that put stuff on circuit boards. The machines cost a lot of money, they are fast, and they are cool. The machines we make allow other companies to mass-produce electronic consumer items. Like the computer or device you are using right now. And cell phones, and cars, and so forth. Cool stuff.

The reviews I write will be oriented toward the idea of ease of use. If a movie is hard to understand, it fails. If a book is too long, it fails. If a device is hard to use, it fails. You get the point. I'll do my best to help you understand ease-of-use in my reviews. That is my strength, and that is the added value I provide. I think.

If you want to know more about usability give my web site a try, it's all about usability:
