I'd recommend the Bay-CHI list. I think you can find subscription
information at www.baychi.org. If not there, then check www.peterme.com
and look in the resources section. (peterme is a good ui resource web
site in general). .....
I would also recommend www.webword.com but the owner is currently having
some major site problems due to issues with his isp. But keep checking
back -- the site is awesome for ui stuff.
Hrmm, thats one I haven't heard of. For books, I'd recommend Alan
Cooper's "About Face". It's geared towards windows ui, but is applicable
to any software ui design.
I'd also recommend Constantine and Lockwood's book "Software for Use".
This book is awesome!
