Working with who you want to work with, on what you want to work on, is actually just play.

"Hands, face, space" is a really good slogan/mnemonic

I’m a political scientist with a PhD from one of the best programs in the country .. there’s NO SUCH such thing as “left wing fascism”! That’s not a thing! .. fascism is a RIGHT wing not a left wing movement. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

I want to know why computer science programs have no tech ethics course requirements when the industry promises students that they have the power to change the world

Kinda surreal when the President starts accusing your 75 yr old friend of being an agent of ANTIFA.

My friend Martin Gugino is an old man with cancer who is now in the hospital with brain damage after being pushed to the ground by a police officer he was trying to talk to.

Focusing on the safety of nurses/docs, ventilators, and protecting our seniors. That’s where we are now. Many people are working at it. And it will take our untapped capacities to help get ourselves and each other through it. /end

Italy has banned weddings and funerals for 16 million people. Japan has closed schools for a month. France and Iraq have banned public gatherings. The U.N. has canceled all physical meetings to address climate change. Americans are uncertain what to do about Coachella.

I’ve been working from a NYC 1BR for 3.5 years now. During this time, I’ve lead projects with 3-30 people involved, often needing lots of discussion, prototyping together and visual communication. it’s difficult. Here are some things I wish I’d been told:

My university just announced that it’s dumping Blackboard, and there was much rejoicing. Why is Blackboard universally reviled? There’s a standard story of why "enterprise software" sucks. If you’ll bear with me, I think this is best appreciated by talking about… baby clothes!

The point is, some products are sold directly to the end user, and are forced to prioritize usability. Other products are sold to an intermediary whose concerns are typically different from the user's needs. Such products don't HAVE to end up as unusable garbage, but usually do.

Someone joked that I “must not have any side gigs” bc I go to bed early. I want us to get over this idea that sleep is a hindrance to success.

I work hard, manage my time well and prioritize rest. My sleep is just as important to me as my work. Get with the winning team.

@shl 'We don't need to think about change management. It's a part of all our jobs'

@leadingagile agree and I go meta: that attempt and related groundwork (or lack thereof) hinge on the culture.

[Wonderbolt Labs @Wonderboltlabs]

@leadingagile What are the root causes of these impediments if not cultural?

[Wonderbolt Labs @Wonderboltlabs]

@markpollard Remarkably good & helpful!

I wish one of the candidates would talk about the protesters who are there - there's nothing wrong with acknowledging how angry and scared people are. #DemDebate

Either you are interesting or you are not. That's it. That is all advertising is. Nothing matters if no one cares to hear, read, see or experience the message because it is not interesting. Why is this so fornicating hard to understand? Being interesting is our secret sauce.

[Charles Lambdin @CGLambdin]

@peterme Yes. Design has more to do with politics than pixel pushing. Tribalism makes us bad at it.
