@ContentDesignLN Tyler Cowen is the master.

@jasonfried ha, my old CEO at Time Out had this idea back in the noughties. Didn't do anything about it...

"Let's meet in the middle for lunch"... Is there a service out there that lets you enter two addresses, and then suggest restaurants that are roughly equidistant from both? Essentially, you drive 30 mins, I drive 30 mins, and we end up going this place in the middle.

@FollowingFX @RecordGo Done!

@RecordGo i gave your car back in perfect condition on the 6th of November. But you still have the 1400 Euros you debited from my card to cover excess just in case i damaged it. Why?

The lovely Liz Roberts from our client GripAble (hand rehabilitation tech) has written a guest post for Panda's blog. It's about what she's learned working with, er, me, doing user centred design. You can read it here if you want thinkpanda.co.uk/learning-to-th…

@Silverfoxyboy beer is the answer.

I heard about this on my dog walk this morning, on @farnamstreet podcast with @AdamMGrant.

...This often reveals a lack of genuine understanding of what they are talking about and provokes a more interesting discussion. The tendency to think you know more than you do is referred to by psychologists as "The illusion of explanatory depth". thedecisionlab.com/biases/the-ill….

When someone has a different view from you, it's tempting to ask "Why do you think that?" But you are just setting them up for confirmation bias. A better question to ask is "How would that work in practice?" or another appropriate "How...?" question.
