I've had some really lovely feedback on my mentoring sessions. If you, or someone you know, are interested in transitioning to a career in UX Research, get in touch! 🙌 🤙

Hey, if you voted in #CO03, Lauren Boebert’s district, and your ballot was rejected, you have a week to fix it!

It could make the difference.

I wonder if, given its' weird frictional behaviors, the Tesla Turbine could be turned into a kinetic hydrobattery... https://t.co/NAQKThXpjl

[Ian Hall @inhll]

The analogy rests.

Back to @Spotify – the discovery and social and interaction patterns are so good. Props to @SpotifyResearch and @spotifydesign 👏 👏 👏

I hope @Apple buys 'em. Admitting Spotify has eaten your lunch would be a good move at this point.

Eat that frog.🐸👑

My new UX Research consultancy focuses on identifying product features that will sequester carbon by reducing energy consumption WHILE improving consumer experience.

Curbcut effect in action: product loads faster, lower overall network load, and improved perceptual performance.

[Ian Hall @inhll]

Can we start rolling out carbon sequestration features? 🤔

[Ian Hall @inhll]

Great opportunity to have @googlechrome add the "create bookmark folder and close" feature to tab groups and help people manage feature/carbon bloat.

I am inordinately pleased with Carbon CAPTCHA as a climate-based pun

Never forget, the electric car is here to save the car industry, not the planet.

As the person who created it… shows the massive hole in our design philosophy: Optimizing for ease-of-use does not mean best for the user or humanity.

UX is locally moral but globally amoral. It asks "how do I make this ergonomic" not "is it ergonomic to our values or society"

[Ian Hall @inhll]

@theyoungjoo I found the advice in "Raising a Sensory Smart Child" to be super valuable for myself and my kid, but the real gold was here: https://t.co/MICiUaFpBM

Things that work for us include: rocking, hammocks, laying face down, and laying upside down.

You got this! 🙌

@jlax @mikeindustries @kevinroose Someone really should get those graphene heat sinks to market ✏️🤔

[Ian Hall @inhll]

@mikeindustries As if we needed starker evidence of caste in America. 😬

Ayo, today is a good day to reduce my career optionality by backing Chokepoint Capitalism: an audiobook Amazon won't sell on @Kickstarter https://t.co/1A21B6BhlV

When someone mistreats you, help 2 people.

You'll prove to your subconscious that you didn't deserve the mistreatment because you're a good helpful person. And you'll turn a negative into a net positivity for the world.

[Ian Hall @inhll]

@jesseddy SUPER cooool! 👏

We are doing something similar for rapid testing, in that we have designers taking notes in Figma alongside designs while UXRs run sessions.

A Figma component flags for ✅ ⛔️ or 🧠 insights.

From there it's a quick jump into affinity diagramming and analysis.

[Ian Hall @inhll]

Basically the only thing in my brain for the last few days 🧠🔂🧑‍⚕️🧑‍🏭🧑‍💼👷💪
