I finally caved in yesterday and upgraded my laptop. As I work more and more with AI, I was needing more of everything.

I haven’t even taken it out of the box yet. 😅 I can’t wait to start fresh on this one. Let’s go!

Looking forward to attending the Dovetail INSIGHT OUT conference later this month. More details here: dovetail.com/insightout/ -- #UserResearch #DesignConference #CustomerInsights

It baffles me how many companies are naming their features "AI Something Something". End users don't care. Name your features based on how it will help someone (value), not what it's built with. If the feature is using AI, still inform your users somehow, just don't include it in the name!

If you're designing a website, I'm sure it's very tempting to want to display your logo/name full-width in the footer. It's super trendy right now, but I'd find another way to differentiate. There's too many people doing it. Reminds me when all logos used an upside down V instead of an A. #WebDesign

I'm calling it right now. One of the most popular words of 2025 will be "Slop".

"Slop" refers to hastily produced, formulaic, or low-quality AI-generated content that's created to capitalize on trends or generate engagement, often with little regard for originality or artistic merit.

Disney’s latest subscriber agreement. Wasn’t this once considered “false advertising?” How are @disneyplushelp.bsky.social (and other streaming services) allowed to include ads in a “no ad” plan!? Talk about quickly losing trust with consumers!

Loving this share screen from @netflix.com iOS app. A perfect example of leaving nothing untouched and giving more control back to users with the background selector.

This took 10 minutes to make using Claude, GitHub pages, and WebXR. It's not perfect, but to think of something and then jump right into a fully immersive interactive session to start making tweaks is so cool. Loving the future right now.

I'm very happy that @googlesearch.bsky.social updated the tab search feature in #Chrome to auto-populate the search field. The previous update disabled this and it required an extra click to search. I live by tab search so this was a big deal for me! #FirstWorldProblems #TheSmallThings

We're finalists in the XR Design Challenge! Our team (Luxe Spatial) made it to the top 8 in the Gaming & Entertainment track out of 3k entries worldwide. 🙏

Great refresher on design sprints and what's new. I attended a workshop circa 2018 in Chicago with @jakeknapp.bsky.social and this masterclass with AJ&Smart and IXDF went over all the improvements for facilitators to make after doing 100+ design sprints.
