Sometimes users are just doing a thing to get a thing, nothing more. No deeper meaning; no hidden reasons.
Over-complication is tiring.
If the first video I see when I open YouTube isn’t Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast, I’ll leave it until I get to 999 and expect something by The Police.
She’s asleep again. I’m going to try and get half an hour before another coughing fit.
So I won’t see you in the gym tomorrow, I won’t be eating a prepped meal of perfectly balanced macros, and I won’t be as joyous as you when Sunday hobbying. I’ll just be surviving again.
If you are one of those people that sleeps well, because that’s your life right now, please for the love of all parents of young children out there, acknowledge that sleep and thrive on it, soak it up, genuinely look it in the eye and enjoy it every time you go to bed. Feel it.
It’s OK to stand at the fridge shouting and swearing in anger at your butter and margarine tub designs for being too similar when you’re parentally sleep deprived.
In fact, every irrational emotional reaction towards inanimate objects is OK when you haven’t slept for 8 months.
Thankful to be starting a full time Head of User Centred Design position at Farsight Consulting from Oct. After a year of providing associate services to lead the growth from 5 to 40 people in UCD, it’s time to lock in and build a front runner in the world of Design & Research 🚀
I rarely look at Twitter (not X, Twitter, I’m nod budging) but now when I do, it seems less and less content is relevant. Have people mostly chosen another platform by now? Or is the Musk narrative algorithm ironically losing my attention for me?
Leaders in tech:
“We must keep things open and inclusive and for everyone!”
One hour webinar with leaders in tech:
“That’ll be 2 thousand grands please mate”
I’m becoming quite aware of my age lately.
Not because of typical physical changes, but through the “I’ve seen and heard it all before” and “young people need to calm down” lenses that my Dad used to look at me through. He’s right though, people need to forgive and relax more.
Alert worked in that it got my attention. But my attention also went quickly here (first few seconds)…

Are the loudest opinionated digital people on twitter actually doing any work? They spout “expertise” but seem to spend more time thumbing out their insecurities than they do delivering value.
Hypocrisy aside, check your reverence from time 2 time and be careful who you trust 👍

🚨Next Sunday at 3pm, the government will be doing a nationwide test of its new Emergency Alerts system.
🚨 Beware of scammers. Anything that asks you to take action from the alert is a scam.

Parents of young children watching the rest of the world complain about a tiring weekend of seeing friends and playing with their cats and watching movies and eating warm food and showering and having 7 hours sleep instead of 8.
Wow. Using AI to replace your thank you’s could NOT be more disingenuous, lazy and lacking in EI.
