(Updated to include audio, video, and interactions article)
Here are my User Research Friday slides, along with audio and video. For me, the discussion at the end (there was a bit of stunned first-talk-of-the-day silence during question period so I turned it around on the audience and asked them to comment on the Escher-esque slide about design->research->design->) was the most stimulating part.
Listen to audio:

I’ve turned this talk into a two-part column for interactions; the first part is here.

love it, steve — i think i got most of your points even without the audio, although slide 26 piques my curiosity — any slide with the word “underpants” requires some explanation!
Comment by Denise Lee Yohn 11.16.08 @ 3:52 pmThanks, Denise. Now with audio and video. The Underpants Gnomes from South Park are an example of how two things are supposed to connect (i.e., design and research) without an understanding of what actually connects ‘em.
