@mmcwatters A designated designer designs as desensitized designee, a desirable designer designs designedly. Decidely, a deciderative designer despises designation.

Decisions, decisions. I guess that's what social media is for.
Which book should I read next?

If a person fails to have the experience an experience designer designs, did the experience designer design the experience?

What you have to see to believe. This is July in Sweden (and a bit of June and August nowadays as well). x.com/CJREdwards/sta…
With all this brilliant data you’ll never want your child to stop wearing diapers (sleep tracking included). And the companion wi-fi camera ensures that child-friendly hackers can help you track your nursery.

To be clear, the one thing you thought it could do... it can’t.
”Pampers sensor also can't detect dirty diapers, so you'll still have to rely on the tried and true sniff test.”
Back in 1985 my Swedish comic book was called X:en rather than X-Men.
It translates to "the X:s".
I appreciate how it made the mutant organization gender neutral by name.
An opportunity to learn more about what machine learning and AI really is about.
"...who builds the systems and selects the sorts and sources of data used will deeply affect the influence they may have, [reflecting] socially and culturally held stereotypes, not objective truths."
Thank you for this important piece Abeba! 👊🔥 x.com/Abebab/status/…
As a certain president gets ever more media coverage, for consistent non-surprising behavior, it's easy to miss the bigger news.

@rachelcoldicutt My addition to the comments in this thread would be: what you want to accomplish should be a core part of any bio. Knowing someone's passion is usually what makes me want to hear more from them.
But yes, short rather than long. If long, tell a story. 😊

@berkun This is the skill that I attribute most of my success as a designer to.
So, in essence, yes :)
But I'd also have to discuss what 'designer' means for you to express a considered opinion on 'all designers'. And also the word 'basic'.

@JustinAmphlett Nice. Which version do you have?
While it's pretty much impossible to remove Amazon from your life, does anyone have experience with competing e-book readers - like the Nook or Kobo variants?
Although I am wary of the Nook after this weird misstep in 2012: they replaced all occurences of the word Kindle with Nook in their e-books. So in War and Peace they don't kindle fires, they nook(!) them.

@opassande Väldigt förvirrande formgivning. Jag ställer mig också frågande till varför en person är på väg uppför trappan.
@opassande Kunde inte släppa det. Hur svårt kan det vara liksom?
@opassande Ytterligare problem är förstås avsaknaden av information till människor med funktionsnedsättningar...

@jmspool This was interesting. Overwhelmed and whelmed were once synonyms. I thought otherwise you had found an English word for hygge. :)

@jmspool Kind of mindblowing that people weren’t underwhelmed until the 1950s. 😏
