Just a reminder, James Whittaker's book on exploratory testing (aptly titled "Exploratory Testing") is now available on Amazon. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Exploratory-Software-Testing-Tricks-Techniques/dp/0321636414 He makes some great analogies on exploratory testing as well. Good stuff, especially for uTesters.
