Merry Christmas to all the emergency services, health care and hospitality workers keeping us safe and fed today. 🙂

I was talking with a very experienced colleague today about the discomfort of handing off an “imperfect” design.
I said: “The perfect design is the best design that fits perfectly within the budget”.
(Where budget could be $$, time or resources.)

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Good to know, but I might have phrased it more positively. 🙂

Merry Christmas to all the emergency services and hospitality workers who are keeping us safe and fed today.

@ThorneHarbour I’m wandering around Melbourne CBD trying to find somewhere to buy a ribbon. Can you help?

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Is there a pie chart big enough (😜) to list the number of problems with this infographic from @MicrosoftAU? (Via @abcnews)

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Do I know anyone with recent experience running an eyetracking study?
It would be great to have a quick chat about what the current state of things is.

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Fun Fact. I guess because the Apple weather app smoothes the line between its temperature predictions for the day, you get an interesting discontinuity between the temperature curve at the end of one day (midnight) and the start of the next?

Merry Christmas to all the essential services and hospitality workers keeling us safe and fed today.

Great, interactive panel on barriers to UX adoption and on inclusive design at @resmed Sydney today. Added bonus to see @acrapp!
Thanks @rummerged and CK Wong.
Forgot to take a pic.

@tdhc @mannki Don't know what happened to the link.

Goodness gracious this is a good presentation by @tdhc and @mannki on how to have impact as a UXer. It's not just about learning all the techniques!

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Brave UI choices.
You don't press on the 'fizziness' icons. You press DOWN on the whole front section until the desired dizziness icon lights up.
There is no indication the front section moves or any other affordance telling you where to push.

In the space of 10 minutes, for one issue, I
- Messaged with developer and project manager on Slack
- Messaged with research team and project manager on Teams
- Messaged with project manager on Whatsapp.
It's everything I wanted from the Information Superhighway!

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

@steveportigal So it's a "no", then?

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

@steveportigal How do you think other people would respond to that question?

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

@steveportigal I see now that I may, in fact, have let MYSELF down terribly...

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Why has none of you people told me about "Avenue 5"?
You have all let me down terribly.

[Shane Morris @shanemo]

Merry Christmas to all the essential services and hospitality workers keeping us safe and fed today.

Just bad copy writing or some carefully chosen weasel words from @NespressAU?
Does this mean 'track my order', or 'send me marketing material later about stuff I ordered'?
