About four

YC S13 App: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ceBmtmRv5s I'm a consulting User Experience Designer/Strategist. I believe in knowing one's materials and agile approach. I love things that really work. I love beautiful things. I focus on strategy, product design and technology to create new opportunities and solutions for businesses and their markets and customers. I work directly with executives, owners, founders, architects, strategists and managers. My background is product design, design critique, user-centered design, symbolic systems, systems/process analysis, learning, leadership and group, team, and organization facilitation and communication. I have been using, thinking about, designing and building tools and experiences for learning and communication since 1986. (Earlier if you count my high school internship at MITER!) I have been advising, coaching and consulting about better leadership, communication, processes and products ever since. I'm a freelance race event operations leader. I'm an ultrarunner favoring trails.

    Ask HN: Which general science magazine is the best?

    Which english-language, general science, printed lay magazine is the best? I can hear it now: "Well, what do you mean by "best"? Yes, very clever and precise. It's up to you! Thank…

    Analyzis is getting in the way of communication. Do you have the answer to his question? Myself, I'm dying to know the answer.

    You have taken the words right out of my mouth! I, too, would like to understand the reasons. I just read the Chariot Lead Designer post with dismay. ( https://angel.co/chariot/job…

    Yes, I use FastMail, too. Who would use Gmail, when you can pay a pittance and keep strangers the F out of your business? I pay for the performance and ease, too. The privacy comes…

    Yes on HN. Because here are people I actual want to become familiar with and to. Like all my online presence, it is a public persona, not me in all my dimensions.

    Seems that way to me, too. Have 000 data to support that assertion, however. I post rarely, sometimes from NYT, and try to contribute articles that are germane, inspiring - not ret…

    Words to hack by: I made games. I didn’t ask for anyone’s permission. If you have the love and the drive, you can walk through that door on your own. I will say some of my best and…

    Excellent piece of work. Useful, quick and subversive. I look forward to your next off-the-cuff project!

    I just love this. Lots of dick-swinging and heart-bleeding and whining and greed. There is no right side in this. Everyone just wants their way. The web is not some inalienable rig…

    Unacceptable. What craven view of ethics puts any concept of "user experience" above treating others truthfully and respecting their privacy, property and personal domain? This is …
