Hey Ha! I would love it if you could help get me seen for this. I’m sure having your guiding hand will help.

UX Fortune Cookie:

A good design process is invisible to users but obvious to the team. It leaves fingerprints, not footprints.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

It’s a phenomenal concept in search of a better movie. Pattinson is astonishingly great but all the attempts to satirize Trump and his followers felt like they belong in a different movie. As such I loved the first half and felt the second was a mess. But worth seeing for smart, original sci-fi.

On an emergent tech team, scientists poke at bleeding edge tech for possibilities & UX designers find the right application. What if we can give the user this super power? What can the AI reliably know, recognize and anticipate? Designers, scientists & Eng riff on the UX.

18F was dissolved because it saved money. We pushed back against contractors who tried to screw American taxpayers. We showed how cheap and good government software can be. Musk hates that.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
18f.org

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

This is 50.

Design isn’t hard bc there is turf wars on social media or that it’s doesn’t get a seat at the table. Design is hard bc Design is a series of decisions. Design is hard when designers hold no mission or principles to guide their decisions aside from aesthetic and usability patterns.

Hollywood stars and geeks unite to billionaire-proof social media The likes of Mark Ruffalo and Jimmy Wales are backing the Free Our Feeds project, to ensure Bluesky's tech will thrive even if the company goes bad.

Big news! There's a new project that's raising cash to build out AT Protocol infrastructure that isn't dependent on venture-funded Bluesky, to stimulate the development of new social networks using that infrastructure, and to make the protocol's governance more democratic fortune.com/2025/01/13/m...

Not out of the woods yet but incredibly grateful. #EatonFire

If you are affected by the #LAFires, my son, Gavin, built a simple web site of links, resources, maps, media and more that is meant to work on or offline, even if you have no service. Feel free to use this if you or those you know can use it.
