The Politics of Design book proved to be a bit more challenging to acquire, Barnes&Nobles removed it from my order and sent the other two books. I'm trying to get the Politics from Amazon now, but the delivery span is 5 months. 😅

AI Pin by Humane was so hugely hyped but ended up a total flop.

"I think people are getting to a point where they don't want to think."

My turn it seems, just got the new Figma UI.

World of Warcraft: The War Within is an awesome expansion.

I love the Passwords app, so much better than the old password management module. ❤️

"I like the people who work for me to have their own ideas about things so they don't bore me, but then I like them to be enough like me to keep me company. I like to be tucked in, but I don't like to be tucked away."

Andy Warhol

“I wake up every morning, I open my eyes and think: here we go again.”

Everyone here is really kind, thank you for being such a supportive community even when we disagree on fonts

Are Belkin and Anker x-in-1 hubs good? Do they (over)heat? I got a HyperDrive for the last few years and it's becoming too hot for my taste.

Yes, I'm a gamer when I'm not working with clients or building my design studio.

A new book by one of the UX people I really look up to, Joe Natoli, was delivered. Can’t wait to read it!

"It's through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good."

It seems that my dear MX Master 3 got sick of me and decided to break. 😞 Should I look for some new model or get the same one? It served me perfectly for the last 3 years.

I’ve heard every designer has to read these, so here goes.

Replaced Fliqlo with Padbury clock, so pretty. 🥹

Yeah, some of the stuff they’re implementing is fire. Content generation, localization etc.

My Figma Creator by Work Louder is on its way, finally! Can't wait to try it out! 😍

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want."

Andy Warhol

The last two months were a legal and admin nightmare (perks of living in Bosnia and Herzegovina), but I proudly announce that my design studio is finally a full-fledged, registered business. 😎

Anything design-related I shouldn't miss in Dusseldorf?

I'm super happy to hear that one of my mentees landed her first design job. This is the most fulfilling part of the mentoring and the main reason I am doing it. 😊

How come I'm only just hearing of this wonderful exhibition for dogs! More details on the artist page: https://dominicwilcox.com/gen2/?portfolio=worlds-first-art-exhibition-for-dogs

Anyone watching BeMore 2024? I am loving it so far, and juggling between the Career Growth & Leadership and Groundbreaking Work tracks.

Took me a few days, but I think I got the optimum preset for my Figma Creator Micro, let's see if I change something again. 😅

Lol, people are pissed off because they won’t be getting two stupid stickers with their phone anymore. Are they for real? I never used one of those for anything.

Today I sent the first invoice as a company, not a freelancer. A milestone.

Many Turkish portals went all in yesterday, and tagged all their articles with #Config2024, driving Figma marketing teams crazy. Hilarious.

"Even beauty can be unattractive. If you catch a beauty in the wrong light at the right time, forget it.”

Andy Warhol

What a day! With the latest changes to how the blocking functionality works, Twitter made stalking a feature.

Just had a Figma update, it's back to fixed panels. I think I like this more.

The pile of the “acquired, will read when I grab a chance” design books is growing.

Designers applauding someone showing them a text prompt not to have to design anymore is peak digital design for me.

Phone and watch are updated, and my tablet and laptop are being updated as I type this. A busy evening. 😅

I feel like I'm the last person alive still waiting for the new Figma UI to reach me.

When it comes to Apple Intelligence, I expect Siri to actually call whomever I told her to call instead of replying "Good afternoon".

Ok I am more excited about Figma Slides than anything else I’ve seen today. Ia something wrong with me?

In design, there’s not one right answer. There’s a range.

It’s a bit hilarious that people are expecting revolutionary upgrades from each new phone generation, while at the same time, they want the new generation to be released yearly.

not on board for this new required on-site hybrid model... seems everywhere these days..

esp. if you're not local to some of these "hot spots" - moving is an absolute pain right now, and impractical, at least as a dad of 3. 😅

the risk is much higher for me than the ceo.
