Attended a four hour workshop and was reminded about the tenuous relationship that facilitators have with their audiences. There is the implicit structure of a session where the facilitator is regarded as the subject matter expert. There is the handshake of greetings and slide decks or other paraphernalia. There is the negotiation that the facilitator makes with the audience through affirmations and jokes, through summaries and bullet points.

For the past week have been sitting with the term “gateway.“ In part, a recollection of Gateway Computers (mid-90s to 2000s).

Purchased this and seems like might have treated it, or its case, a bit roughly. Decided that it was worth repurchasing this while waiting for their Frame iteration to come in. After a few hiccups with resetting Monocle via its Noa app on a few devices, am back at letting it be something of an assistant in training. Continue reading →

Amongst the pieces of things this initiative has made evident, one of which has been a misunderstanding and misapplication of what it means to do, leverage, or even understand user experience (UX). For some, UX means the visual aesthetic- the user interface of a website, and not even the interactions, but just its colors, layout, and branding. For some, their landing of user experience begins at interviews and design thinking games, and ends at reports with tangible assets to hand off to someone else to implement so that the interviews and games could be restarted anew.
