Thought of a title for a blog post. Now I just have to write it. đ
From smart phones to smart cities. When âsmartâ stopped meaning what you think it means.

When you know your self-worth you stop giving discounts.
In the latest episode of @uxpodcast (episode 294!), @Beantin and I discussed two articles.
The first one about designing the perfect button which I quite enjoyed. The second one an article about sitemaps that got so many things wrong our conversation turned into a talk about how content marketing can be harmful.
Haha, den hĂ€r hade jag glömt att jag skrivit. ApropĂ„ Twitter och journalister Oj, vad irriterad jag mĂ„ste varit đ
@schock Didn't see a Swedish translation there if I'm not mistaken. Would love to help out. I can definitely pair up with someone for this.
Förra Äret skrev jag en lÄng genomgÄng av Försvarsmaktens alla annonser under Pride. Jag uppdaterade precis med Ärets annons och noterade en liten men viktig Àndring i budskapet.
@mike Thanks!
@jimbo Haha. Yes, that would be ideal. It's a couple of public sector websites I need this for as well(!)
@jan Thank you Jan! đ
Best tool for creating RSS feeds for websites without RSS?
@chris So much. Losing hope and struggling to decide what is a reasonable path forward to maintain sanity and satisfaction in my work.
@nenetl@hispagatos.space For me it means that anything I create has the potential to affect someone else in a positive or negative way. By thinking through and involving people to assess possible, plausible and preferable consequences I acknowledge that I can choose to make wellbeing a primary concern. Early in my career I designed a lot of stuff to make them easy without concern for long-term effects or societal impact.
I do not work with usability, accessibility, UX or digital design. I work with wellbeing and compassion. The better I understand this the better I become at taking responsibility for the consequences of my work. I know better when NOT to build something.
@ambivalena Ja, fick mig att tÀnka till lite extra kring mina dÄliga sömnvanor.
@ambivalena Det tror jag ocksĂ„ Ă€r en viktig faktor. Sömnbrist leder till paranoia. Jag tĂ€nker Ă€ven att det det hela blir vĂ€rre i och med klimatförĂ€ndringarna och svĂ„righeter att sova pga temperatur och vĂ€deromslag. LĂ€gg dĂ€rtill hur luftföroreningar skadar den kognitiva förmĂ„gan sĂ„ kĂ€nns det som en stökig framtid. đŹ
@kranzkrone Thank you Stefan. This aligns well with my ambition and experience.
In my recent newsletter I tell a story of how leaving Twitter helps me make better choices.
Iâve just spent days migrating and updating the student course site for my ethics course. Though Iâm on vacation. Which still makes sense, because this is what I truly love doing.
Itâs also becoming apparent that within 6 months or so I should be able to offer a subscription/membership option for an English version of the course site. Iâve created and curated so much content over the years!
Which tends to scare students so I have to ease them into it đ
Jösses vad rörd jag blev av Bengt âBenganâ Janson med familj i i TV4:s morgonsoffa nĂ€r de berĂ€ttade om hans nĂ€ra-döden dust med TBE och hur det pĂ„verkade dem. Och sĂ„ vacker dragspelsmusiken nu blev just mot den bakgrunden.
@derek My common answer to this is that alt text depends on context. The purpose of using the image should be conveyed in the image description. No reason to describe things that are out of context and divert from the message.
