Culturability
Culture affects usability. For example, color may have different meanings in countries. A website with lots of green would be a problem in France since the French associate green with criminality. On the other hand, a website with lots of green would invoke positive feelings in Egypt and Middle Eastern countries. The following article provides… Continue reading

Video Player And Usability
I found a paper that made me realize that media players available on the web are not perfect. Research shows that YouTube players provide some desirable controls like captions, screen size, and so on, but there are alsoproblems such as difficulty with subtitles in some browsers and screen reader issues (for the visually impaired). Other… Continue reading

Universal Declaration Of Human Rights
Kudos to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. People need to be respected, tolerated, treated fairly, and so on. Fair treatment of all humans made me think of animals that are treated “unfairly”. Only animals should be treated this way. Here is one of my recent posts on beasts of burden… Continue reading

Remote Work And Housing
A lot of people limit their job search to a particular area (city or metropolitan area). Sometimes there are just not a lot of available positions in the area. The job search may take a long time. It makes sense then to expand the job search to other cities and states. I applied for jobs… Continue reading

Today, I discovered videos are also used a lot in healthcare – for surgical education (video coaching),… Continue reading

FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
