As I was completing a design project a couple of months ago, I wanted to conduct a few tests. In return, I also participated in several tests. As the test was being conducted, I often myself really struggling to refrain from providing feedback about the testing methodology, wording and techniques instead of concentrating on the tasks administered.

Want your likeness to appear on an OK/Cancel comic strip? We got it. I’m pleased to announce our OK/Cameo program! We know you have a lot of stories out there and we want to hear them. Any ideas that we use for a comic strip (whether we use the idea directly or some derivative of it) means you’ll also get a cameo in a future comic! Easy enough. Submit as many ideas as you like.

As a further bonus, we’re going to put all the submissions (whether they are used or not) into a draw for FREE OK/CANCEL T-SHIRTS! Of course, we don’t actually HAVE any T-shirts yet, which makes it even better because you get a say in what they will look like (see Tom’s post). So if you have ideas for a strip, !

T-Shirts are here!

Ok, actually we’re still designing them… and here’s your chance to help out! KC put me in charge of doing merchandising development — which I would be awesome at — but I have a bad case of designer’s block. You can check what we’ve come up with so far [here]

Beyond these, we are planning an East Coast vs. West Coast shirt and (maybe) a Lotus Notes shirt. Take a look at what’s there, and leave a comment on what you like, and/or suggests for what you’d like to see. Is there a particular OKC quote or image that you found funny or shirt-worthy?
