    Here is a site with 50 different links to wireframe symbols and kits.

    This one is nice since the images can increase without loss.

    I just found a bunch of usability resources at http://www.userfocus.co.uk/articles/index.html#Anchor-ebook.

    The first two booklets in the list take on user-centered design and usability test moderation, and are free.

    I bought the ‘Morae for Usability Practitioners’ book (about $15), but I won’t have time to read it until later in the quarter.

    I’ll post an opinion on the free books later this weekend.

    I find that “Introducing HTML5″ is an excellent overview to the new HTML5 features, but it’s nothing *but* an overview.

    I think that most design-oriented students will find ‘HTML5 and CSS3 for the Real World’ (Sitepoint, May 2011) to be far more useful. Here’s the companion site for the book:

    By the way, here’s an *excellent* way to get into dangerous fun with HTML5/CSS3:

    A full-blown responsive, cutting-edge HTML5 site template.

    Found this article on a very interesting UX study with a guy who has never used a computer before. Some great key points towards the end.

    I found this free online Spider Simulator on Summit Media very helpful. You type in your url and it returns a grade in percentage points with additional information about how fast your pages loaded, if you have titles, keywords, meta tags, images, etc.
