🤬 I just wanna know the person giving the green light to spamming us with relentless political text messages. What is the success rate? What the hell???

There is so much to unpack and respond to here. It validated in my skepticism of AI while managing to excite me in its potential to positively transform our participation in everything Internet. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/05/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-nilay-patel.html

It got freaky when the DJ said my name. This makes me ick a bit.

If it farts, I need to buy it. Great branding.

I didn’t realize how much my inner calendar depended on the seasons until I moved to SF.

My favorite micro-interaction is when my password auto-populates 😮‍💨.

My most detested is when I have to wait 2 business days for the checkmark to show when I confirm I’m not a robot 😩.

The best gift you can give a child is an educational gift…about the blockchain.

The Spotify DJ saying my name is cringe. How can I provide this feedback?

My favorite food joint, may it rest in peace. I was a regular there and they knew my order. I will treasure this keepsake!

Any wonderful people here going to attend the Service Design Network Next Gen Conference on Thursday, April 12th? 🤩

Two people who inspire me more than any CEO or technology ever will.

Just a few years away from making something wearable 🥴

I couldn’t stop thinking about experience and service design when I was in Las Vegas this week. The last time I was there was 15 years ago, pre-smart phone and pre-design school. It has a completely different appeal to me now!

Today I realized that I love sitting on steps! I tend to have great unplanned thinking sessions (akin to having “shower thoughts”, I guess) whenever I’m sitting on a step. Whether it’s a deck, stoop or sidewalk. 

Pic is of my favorite step spot in SF. Know it? PS not my dog!

Spotify Wrapped is such a treat for designers and storytellers. What do we think this year? The 90s kidpix fan in me is always happy to see gradients and pixelated lines.

I love mugs, glasses, glass, clay pots, anything that’s a vessel. Why? I don’t know. Anyone else like me? Here is one of the many mugs I picked off the street.

If you’re in SF and interested in service design, the Service Design Network SF chapter is organizing this fantastic workshop!

Do you think they knew what they were doing…
when they made this 60-70 years ago?

Concept executed superbly. Every time I’m near this mural I have to walk up to it to soak up the vibes.

Everyday I log into this app, and every day I don’t care two shits about anyone’s follower counts, and I think that’s amazing

Went to the Sphere last night. These AI robots held an impressive, nuanced convo with my mother. Participants were invited to ask it questions. I was disappointed that no one asked it if it farts. If anyone gets there and can ask this question, please let me know how it responds.

I feel like this is a safe space to ask this…

What do you do to feel better when LinkedIn has got you down? 

😵‍💫🤢😭

Content Strategists: what are some of the toughest interview questions you’ve been asked?

But what does a Master’s REALLY mean, anyways?

Today is World Password Day! What’s your favorite password? 🥹

Straight off my parents’ bookshelf. Who can guess the year and what’s inside?

If you’re in SF, you can get your own Figjam at Samiramis Imports on Mission.

Back in 2022. I had a vision. I knew I could build it. I attempted. It was a working prototype. 

Ladies and gentlemen. Meet ShitList: An app that helps you track your haters and the people you hate.

No. I am not looking for funding at this moment.

Someone had to have put grass seed on that.

Creatives in 🇧🇷: what template softwares do you use most frequently? 
- Adobe Express?
- Figma?
- Canva?
Que mais? Valeu!

Got this sweatshirt as a gift! No one knows what it means. I’m trying to figure out what this is a map of. Any ideas?!?
