# Cool Lecture!

By Roy Osherove July 2, 2003 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 2, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

Wow. Today's [User Group meeting](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/posts/9589.aspx) was one of the best I've ever attended. The session was about UI design guidlines and how people percieve things. I'll write more about it tomorrow, but for now I'll just say that if you had the chance to be there but didn't , you missed one hell of a lecture.

Speaking of which, You **really** should be in the next session of the [asp.net user group](http://teched.magen.com/events/event.aspx?EventID=36) on the 9th. Rumors are circling about it, I'll just say that you should bring along some popcorn, and perhaps an X-Box joystick.... :)
