  • Notable Read for 6 Mar

    Simply because this could not wait for Friday’s collection. Feels like it’s too important of a topic to the @microdotblog community: A Privacy-Focused Vision for Social Networking via Facebook Continue reading →

  • Auditing the Peculiar ID/UX Setup

    Documenting and adutiing a peculiar (to some) way of working in the interaction design/user experience space When using an iPad Pro as the primary workstation for experience/interaction design, the suite of tools and the workflow is just a little bit different than many. While a shock to some, its not an impossible endeavor. Though, using popular apps such as Sketch and Figma are out of the question. Replacing those with others, or figuring a way around what seems to be normative becomes part of the process also. Continue reading →

  • Notable Reads for 1 Mar 🔗

    Looking at one of the last snowfalls of the season out of the window, am reminded of there always being just a little bit more on deck than whatever might be planned or expected. In the project management space, we used to say something like, “whatever they give you as an estimate for the delivery, multiply it by 2.5. That’s your real number.” This often seems to be the case.

  • Unshapen and Focused

    Being thrust back to the future of unshapen mobiles and their implications Spent a nice day recently, conversing with other information/experience design professionals during World IA Day. Some of the conversations sprung towards either the tools we use, or how hard it is to focus product and process because of the amount of options which seem to be at our fingertips. Literal fingertips in this case — was using Pencil and Tap to take notes. Continue reading →

  • Notable Reads for 22 Feb 🔗

    Fast and slow. A reminder of the cold of winter, the persistence of bias, and the surprise of ingenuity. These swings are merely the moments of life’s extremes, with life being defined by what comes in between those moments. Still, there’s an unrelenting desire for those extremes at times. Perhaps because in the extremes we might figure out what is best understood about the shades in between. Philosophical? Perhaps. But, if your week were encased into a list of notable reads, what items would top that list? Continue reading →

  • Simply Perspective

    Using perspective of the future to communicate a simply, accessible present Living in a space where there’s some freedom towards experimentation and its resulting analysis often leads to incredibly simple insights. However, getting to that point is not so much a matter of iteration, or even research, sometimes, it is a matter of just having a different perspective than others who might be able to utilize those fruits in a more applicable manner.

  • Notable Reads for 15 Feb

    Resonance… That word spoke to what kept coming back towards this week. Not simply because resonance is both noun and past-action verb, but because there’s something about the way some pieces of work have rippled across the ether which seems to invite something more to the cannon than what’s been given at the surface. “…”Resonance—there is no wisdom without it,” Birkerts writes. “Resonance is a natural phenomenon, the shadow of import alongside the body of fact, and it cannot flourish except in deep time.

  • Reviewing Concepts

    Taking some time today to review a few past concepts. The ideation that led to these (and a few others) could use some refreshing. IoT Diagnostics Library Card Wallet PhD Search Notebook IxD App And at the same time, looking back at these causes a flurry of questions about the greater role contemplation plays in the space between the idea and the work.
