@kenzianidiot Please report back with a roofing contractor update. I'd like to compare notes.

my dad goes to a bar with his friends every friday and he makes a list of discussion topics pt 30

Someone please build a browser plugin that automatically closes this @figma tab after 10 seconds

@AmandaMGoetz What type of farm? Hobby farm? I ask because large farming requires complex equipment with some high-tech screens and software.

We're all here until we make enough to buy a farm and never look at a screen again, right?

@realjefflarge @kaleighf Yes! I do this most weekends. Highly recommend.

@kaleighf Disappear into the woods.

The internet is changing, and so am I. Been asking myself lately: -Do I care about growing my newsletter? -Do I want to keep investing time into social media? -Do I have the desire/interest in doing work I'm not excited about? For the most part, the answer is no. So now what?

@jacobolenick @LinkedIn Yes. Or I say “digital product designer”. Things like web or mobile apps. Product design is often interpreted as industrial design.

@jacobolenick Graphic designer. A million years ago I was working on book layouts.

@graceongrid Yah! It’s therapeutic.

We are at the 'drag a little rectangle around the page to make sure all the spacing is even' stage of design again

@DougCollinsUX @cambeck And I thought InDesign was strange. Sounds fun.

@cambeck Sadly it has disappeared into the sands of time.

What's the weirdest tool that you've ever used to create a wireframe? I'll go first: a banana and a beach full of sand. #UX #design

@gpvlaterza @jacobolenick Right now I’m using UserTesting. Marvel App works well too.

@AbbeyFitzgerald @jacobolenick How do you run unmoderated research?

@mrdavenport @sethjenks These are amazing! Tell your dad he has a great sense of value in his paintings. Also, I love the cool shadows and warm lights.

@sethjenks That’s one of my favorites too. It’s a part of his ongoing seasonal light series. A few more from the series…

My parents’ place is filled with my dad’s paintings

@aexm @scott_kerr Was just thinking how cool it would be to try and serve that. Who knows where it would go.

@AprilynneAlter I don't mind when people talk about themselves as I'm more of a listener. I prefer it actually. If I find that I'm doing more the talking for a couple minutes, I usually ask something about them. Or if they ask a questionn I try to follow it up with "how about you".

Does anyone have any advice for how to interact in a new group? Here's how it usually goes for me 🤦‍♀️: 1) I come in wanting people to like me 2) I end up talking about myself too much, because I want people to think I'm cool enough to be friends with 3) Partway through, I realize I'm doing this and I become nervous and I start to stutter a lot 4) By the end of the interaction, I'm very quiet and I just want it to be over This happens especially if *someone else* is dominating the conversation, because time when they're not talking becomes scarce and it's mentally very hard directing the conversation away from me when I finally get the chance to speak Any advice? I have another new group interaction today and I really, *really* don't want to mess it up

@Culture_Crit Talent, time, fear of heights :-) It's so amazing, can only appreciate this art.

@girlmeetsgeek How awesome is this!? You look great!

@jacobolenick Yes indeed. Happy to talk shop whenever.

@mplsphotography Thanks for the mention @mplsphotography ! I'd still be fighting with the glare if it weren't for your photography skills. Ty!

Check out this awesome lighthouse painting I photographed for @AbbeyFitzgerald ! Great job Abbey!
