Glad to see other kobo enthusiasts. I love the Kobo style buttons.

I go to Europe enough that I ditch the universal adapter and get a European ubs-c wall plug. A little more maximalist at home to store but more minimalist while traveling.

It became clear to me that just a little bit of socializing during the work day goes a long way. I have a partner that I live with but he often works long hours in person so I can …

After reading the article, my first thought was it is both Finney and Back posting under Satoshi. Others may have been involved too but not necessarily posting.

I think I’m a target customer? I don’t think this is rev for me but I think in the future I could be sold. I own an a7c because I value compactness. I was just in New Zealand and a…

User research IFYKYK

I think both phone call and Zoom call are worse than an automated email because 1) I have to find the time to be available for both and 2) More often than not I want to process in …

The endless debates wear me out. Sometimes I just want the engineers to just do. It's labor for me to tell someone their idea is bad, both mentally and emotionally. At the beginnin…

About three years ago I joined a company that was on Sketch after working at a Figma company. I thought I was pretty tool agnostic but after starting work, I quickly realized how a…

I completely agree with the above poster that Invision was trash at any real prototyping. When it came out, Axure and Justinmind had already had sophisticated control flow logic. I…

Wait, I thought an original was already digitized: http://www.rarebookroom.org/Control/chkwks/index.html

The only thing that's tough about this approach is you work hard at physical therapy but still you end up being the percentage that still needs surgery. Then once you get surgery y…

I graduated from a HCI program and the problem I continue to see is we turn to UXR in all situations of indecisiveness and not necessarily when it makes sense. UXR is best applied …

I went to Roland Garros and this is how they did it. You also were allowed to return the ticket to the pool and the event resold it at face value.

In the article it briefly mentions L’Oreal. They have a patent on another set of filters mexoryl and mexoryl xl, both are great and allowed by the FDA. You can buy it with their La…

Also good! I'm a designer that doodles so I prefer no rules.

I love the Leuchtturm but I find that I too like something more disposable. My preference now is the Kokuyo Dot Grid which you can get in a spiral bound or loose pages. See: https:…

Not having a big company signed is not inherently bad. Going after small business can be a valid strategy (i.e. Salesforce) but it sounds like there wasn't healthy growth or the ri…

I've worked with part time developers. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes it doesn't. If someone wants to work part time with you and don't have any other contracts, they ra…

My gas stove has an XLO mode, it actually will cycle on and off automatically. Makes a little clicking noise, but it's very effective for the lowest of simmers.

I can sympathize with the desire to have gas but what I can't accept is people who want massive BTU stoves with inadequate ventilation or worse none. Honestly, I'm surprised that a…

Djokovic won the original challenge on procedural grounds that the process was incorrect, not that his exemption/documentation was valid. He was never exculpated. And let's not for…

Too much shaking in spectating, I'm actually getting motion sick.

I get the DIY spirit but with any thin crust pizza, I'm happy to yield to my local pizza shops. If I have the itch to make a pizza, I usually make a Sicilian style pizza which I th…

I was doing research for something else and found this great anecdote about Kid Pix that I've saved. "Other product teams do not have the time or resources to work with children as…
