I still don't buy there's anything to this activity-based design stuff. (Of course, you'll never find me referring to anything as user- centered design, either.) Good design is about understanding who you're designing for and what they are trying to do. Whether you focus on differences in the individual or differences in their goals/objectives/tasks/activities, is going to depend on the nature of the design project and what you're trying to accomplish. In the end, it's all about having information to make informed design decision, no matter what stupid label you apply to it. Jared Jared M.
