Crofting on the edge of Scotland. Resting from 25 years of pioneering UX & Behavioural Research. Siberian Huskies, DoLectures 19, SXSW 21, Isle of Lewis.
Thank you to the team at @SimpleUsability for my lovely farewell drinks last night & incredible leaving gift. I’m going to miss the magic and spirit. I promise to never forget the fun and will forever toast our achievements. #ThankYou
Wishing you all a happy new year. 2025 will see @fabulous_ux going live. I’ve finally figured out the Hebridean opportunity for customers and it’s pretty exciting. Slàinte Mhath.
After loosing a few mackerel at the shoreline today, I looked South down the loch, along our common grazings. Another view I’ve not quite appreciated to date.
Always excited to get my hands on the latest generation of eye trackers from @TobiiTechnology. We’ve come a long way since buying my first eye tracker 18 years ago - a Tobii 1750. #tobiieyetracking
Had a peak at @EyewareTech this morning and got me thinking about what’s new in eye tracking and ux research. Lots of predictive ai services but it’s the real human research tools that get me excited. #uxtools#usability
I had the most amazing Tuesday afternoon attending an informal tour of the @CalanaisCentre Standing Stones. A few hours of listening to incredible observations, findings and stories from Ian McHardy of Landstory.
Train cancellation gremlins on the last leg sorted. From Outer Hebridean croft to #stodgepodge in Manchester for some agency founder fun with @PodgeEvents

Beautiful way to head into the weekend. Sunrises quickly here but I’m enjoying the longer days already. Lots of fencing work awaits today. Piglets arrive this weekend.
Wow - zoomed into a hybrid board meeting this evening and blown away by the fabulous experience created by the @OwlLabs camera. The footage from the room was beautiful and flawless and amazingly personal. Just wow.
Three days in #Scotland, and three remarkable events.
First day: Arriving in Glasgow, the border police officer at Glasgow airport notices our German passports and greets us in German, even tries some light conversation with his limited knowledge of the language.

15 years of Twitter. Originally my source for learning and inspiration - but now more of a brutal sense check for the increasingly bizarre world we live in. #MyTwitterAnniversary
Finally completed the application form for @granddesigns covering the build of our modern croft house in the Outer Hebrides. Fingers crossed they want to join our adventure. #selfbuild
