Thanks so much for @Remembear, @Support_Bears. Your friendly brand made password security fun, approachable and easy for my mum — who usually finds computer stuff scary and hard. We will miss Bear's login expressions. Sorry to see you go, but thanks for the help over the years.

Huge thanks to Senator Susan McDonald, @SenMcDonald:

"One of your products, iAuditor, changes businesses so fundamentally in terms of regulatory compliance — I’m a big fan and it made me sleep much better at night."

There is almost always a simple solution that will deliver 90% of the result you want.

The extra 10% can be worthwhile, but it's not *usually* worthwhile.

Save the extra effort for the stuff that really, truly matters. In all other cases, do the simple thing.

@sallyfoote Your talk was my favourite of the day. Thanks for the reminder of a very critical UX lesson all too often forgotten. (Will you be posting your great 1950s-themed slides somewhere?)

Powers of 10— "Explore the landscape in which people tackle problems you want to solve... zoom in on where you can have the biggest impact and brainstorm how you’ll improve... zoom back out again to make sure the experience feels unified with the whole." https://t.co/HHZaFdS4so

The ability to break down a complex project into manageable chunks is a hugely underrated professional skill. Strange that so few people hire & evaluate for it.

Found this from the depths of my hard drive. Oh dear.

@femkesvs Do you like burgers, though? I recommend Beeps on Ocean Avenue, if you can drive out there. (But, agree: El Farolito. And have you done the Alcatraz Tour yet?)

@meadsteve @monzo You mostly ate out at St. John!? What kind of awesome life do you lead? (I'm guessing this is because it was the biggest spending category by total amount, not number of purchases, frequency?)

Without field research, it's difficult to get an accurate picture of user workflows.

@we_are_atomic Thanks for building such an awesome tool. My workday won't be the same without you. Can't wait to see what you are cooking up next. 👍

Apps that embrace the notch on the new iPhone X look bad. Look better with a black background for the status bar. Quick comparison #iphonex
