Management by Zooming Around

Q2 Zoom with Black Fret

MBWA is no more. How do you manage a remote team? So we’ve had our first full quarter of COVID remote work; enough for the ‘hey let’s do remote work all the time’ chatter to die down, as isolation, loneliness,

The Scientific Method is Bullshit, and Y’all Suck

TLDR: Not really. And No, you’re not. (You are all fine people.) It’s become fashionable to bash Design Thinking, maybe more so last year but it takes me a while to get around to articles like this one. Actually I

2019: The Year of Design Backlash

When it just seemed people were finally figuring out what Design means, we get the backlash. I had drafted a post responding to Design Thinking bashing (like this and this), and now Maeda reheats his annual report (if you can make it

Fun with Job Postings

I love the calls from spec recruiters, when I can understand their speech. (BTW, No, I do not want a 6 month contract in Bentonville AR — I get that one every week.) I had to laugh at this posting

The Other Unicorn

There are two unicorns in UX. Or maybe one Two-nicorn.  We all know and love the discussions about the interaction+visual design+front-end coder. As I’m looking for new work, I’m coming across a number of position descriptions for Product Manager with requirements

Looking for New Opportunities

I changed my tagline… don’t worry, I’m still a full-stack UX professional.. Working for a company 80% dependent on the price of oil, I should expect cyclical downturns and restructuring. Thanks fracking and OPEC!  But anyway, my organization didn’t really get

Top 7 Dangers of Amateur UX

Amateur UX can lead to half-assed UX. And these common mistakes: 1. Tend to copy designs inappropriately  – mostly out of context.  A radial menu for a touchscreen loses the benefit when it’s on a mouse & keyboard interface. What works
