Today is World Usability Day 2006

I've recently conducted a round of international usability tests on the intranet of one of our clients which was very interesting to see how the different nationalities viewed and used the same site. 

Before I did this I organised a training session for my team to makes sure that we were up to date on the latest usability information and the best ways to test.  As part of the training we conducted tests on some kitchen items and while I often think about how a website or application works but now I can't look at a can opener the same.
