Ben Shneiderman toured my laboratory a couple of months back. He actually took the time to sit down and use and discuss some of the UI stuff I was developing as part of my PhD research.

I'm sure he doesn't remember it, but those 15 minutes were extremely beneficial to me. He's a super humble, brilliant scientist and designer. I have the utmost respect for him.

Yes, he's a really nice personal guy who listens well and is great at writing and talking. He loves to wave his hands around and gesture as he talks, so it's really fun to watch his talks on fast forward, and guess what he's talking about! ;)

I'll bet he remembers, and tells people about your look and feel that he saw and felt!
