I'm embarassed to disclose how many times I've failed in the last hour to download and set up a habit tracker, because something on Twitter "caught my eye". š

@WolfgangBremer Learning opportunity on licensing, differing copyright laws, differing demands, different prices by country, and workarounds ;)

@WolfgangBremer Always bring a whiteboard when travelling with kids š
āŖ Replying to @WolfgangBremer
@WolfgangBremer Yeah, at the same time I remember the PAL and NTSC and SECAM debacle. Global licensing is a mess. Also thinking about getting music on vinyl, then cassette, then cd (and even buying a minidisc player), downloading (iPod), then streaming.
@WolfgangBremer I can see why there is nostalgia for vinyl...

Reminder copy:
āAt a time in your life when you were less tired, more resilient, more self-aware and more sensitive to your own needs, you set this reminder to [turn off the lights/go for a walk/drink water/plan the weekend]. Please consider listening to yourself.ā
āNo matter how principled you are, you must recognize that, over time, the bearings of your moral compass will shift toward the culture of your organization or team.ā

@tsvenson Yeah, me too. Iām thinking this will be a series of tweets on what a future might look like if we continue down a certain path.
Remember when we could buy books and lend them out to friends?

@WolfgangBremer @veen @RogueAmoeba You could also do Skype call recording, there are many apps for that. Weāve just moved away from Skype as weāve had issues with call quality.

@WolfgangBremer @veen First choice: Guest records themselves with a decent microphone and you merge files in Audacity later
Backup: on your own computer via Audio Hijack from @RogueAmoeba (record computer audio)

@WolfgangBremer I've had the good fortune of working with healthcare for 8 years now. It's often frustrating and slow, and not the most proitable place I can be, but every time I feel like jumping ship I remind myself that it's still the place where I believe I contribute to more societal value.
@WolfgangBremer I feel having a good understanding of my own value system allows me to make better choices in the face of adversity and judging the attractiveness of options that present themselves.

@beantin @A_Silvers @clairejlew @uxpodcast Could it be that assuming negative intent promotes short term survival?
This feedback made me glaze over with gratitude, to Abjihit for taking the time to write it, but also to James who is the one putting in the time to make these parts of the UX Podcast experience come together.
For other types of glaze, follow James on Instagram, where he is @bean_tin.
I donāt think most people understand the significance of Ukraine.
I just ordered the newly released book Sandworm by @a_greenberg as recommended on @gaslitnation.
Listen to Gaslit. Read Sandworm. Itās just good life advice.

The revenge of us nerds means the visions of the future are now heavily influenced by 70s and 80s sci-fi flicks. I believe someone has to stop us, our data is ancient and prejudiced.
Also, how is āmandroidā not a modern-day trope?
āMandroid. When youāre going for that subservient look.ā
#mandroid
Please note that I own a pair of these and love them... š¬
A pair of Airpods, not mandroids.
