I have been experimenting with Google's new prototyping tool. Stitch... I find myself both impressed and annoyed at the same time! I have said out loud more than once... I don't want AI to make that change for me, just let me do it myself! It feels useful but lacking in nuance, and as a designer, I really want that control. Figma, you are safe for now! #ux #ai #design #prototyping stitch.withgoogle.com

What I thought of the news of chuck Norris passing. :( RIP chuck you were a legend.

Ha I feel like this is sprit animal of AI.... A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?si… via @YouTube

I’m deadly serious about this, Afroman has done more to protect all Americans civil rights than any politician or activist in my life time

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant. - No VC funding. - No viral launch. - No TED talk. - Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve. He built a language that fit in kilobytes. 50 years later, it runs everything. Linux kernel. Windows. macOS. Every iPhone. Every Android. NASA’s deep space probes. The International Space Station. > Python borrowed from it. > Java borrowed from it. > JavaScript borrowed from it. If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow. He died in 2011. The same week as Steve Jobs. Jobs got the front pages. Ritchie got silence. This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

Keep thinking about the medium is the message in our times... marshalmcluhangutenberg.home.blog/2019/07/18/the…

Tell all your friends - we save LA by voting! Make sure to send in your ballot the minute you get it.

@MayorOfLA Let me guess you are off on a vacation?

Los Angeles is under a Heat Advisory from Thursday at 10 AM through Friday evening. Please take precautions, stay hydrated, limit time in the sun, and check on family, friends, and neighbors who may need extra support during extreme heat. There are hundreds of locations open for relief from the heat, including Recreation and Parks facilities and local library branches. For location and hours of operation, visit laparks.org/reccenter and lapl.org/branches.

$106 MILLION. That’s how much LA just handed to a nonprofit whose lawyers bill $1,025 an hour to stop the city from cleaning up our streets. Karen Basura pays activists. Taxpayers pay the bill. The streets stay a filthy mess. This corruption ends when I’m mayor.

Personal Milesone... This is my 50th published article on medium. Feels good so please share it far and wide. #ux #design #hcd #userresearch #inclusivedesign #personas #empathyindesign medium.com/user-experienc…

LA designers come to World IA Day at ArtCenter. I will be leading a workshop on AI Folksonomy :) luma.com/hd50nh0h?tk=7a…

Design is a making praxis. What you make may not be very good, but that means you are learning to make it better. Just Keep Making! medium.com/user-experienc…

Happy Monday. Over the weekend I got an article published. It is a discussion of using inclusive empathy to improve user personas. An extension of an activity from an advanced usability and accessibility short course I put together with @designlab Check it out, share far and wide, keep working on you design empathy, and make better user persons. #ux #design #persons #userempathy #inclusivedesign uxdesign.cc/user-personas-…

I just published this article on @uxdesigncc A discussion of using inclusive empathy, the ICF framework, and human-centered rigor for improving user personas. Check it out and share. #ux #design #userempathy #hcd #UserExperience uxdesign.cc/user-personas-…

FEBRUARY 28, 2026 Don't forget to look up: a rare celestial spectacle is unfolding. Six planets are tracing a graceful arc across the evening sky.

Ai makes it all feels tenuous. I feel like I am teaching kids (in design) to waltz on the titanic when I should be showing them how to build an f$&#ing raft to keep from freezing when the boat sinks.
