RIP Stan Lee. Not entirely sure why, but The Ramone's version of the theme to Spiderman feels like a fine tribute. #spiderman #ramones #stanlee
Another side note: Spiderman is from Queens, NYC. As were the Ramones. And as am I. #nycqueensftw (Also #anthrax but I could never get past their name)
The theme song for the Japanese version of Spiderman on TV is... well it speaks for itself. #ramonesdoitbetter
How many different versions of the #spiderman theme song are there? This one is clearly "Van Halen cover band but with a robot lead singer" version
Here's the "Frank Sinatra / light swing" version

And of course the original which, as is often the case, might just be the best (check out that bass line) - thank Webster and Harris - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Ma…

1. The prevalence of multi-tweet threads is so backward from a tech or design perspective since we evolved plenty of great ways to write and publish longer units of thinking. It's so common now we accept it but in many (but not all) ways it's backwards. Much like SMS.
2. The primary reason we accept it is a kind of short-term convenience. It FEELS convenient, since we're already here, to just keep reading another chunk while a link to better writing would feel so terribly heavy with commitment. Convenience often leads to shallowness.
3. SMS is a similiar example - it is very convenient for quick notes and to not interupt people. But when you have a long, complex exchange over SMS, usually it'd be much faster and more rewarding to use voice - voice has more data! (tone, inflection, easier to get sarcasm, etc.)

1. A fallacy in predicting tech progress is the faith that going from a 0% to 90% solution means that a 100% one is possible. That's often not true. The hardest use-cases are often saved for last. Which means the last 10% will take far more time or turn out to be impossible.
2. Projects like autonomous cars, voice recognition and "AI" can do very impressive things. But we're prone to the fallacy of believing progress will be consistent/linear. Even though the challenges to reach 90/95/100% get harder and harder.
3. Developing new ideas is exploring the unknown - u don't know if at 91% of a solution a new, previously unknown limitation arises, that could not have been predicted, that creates a dead end or untenable costs. This is the common case, not the exception, in innovation history.

Here's my latest talk - Design & Power: A Political Playbook for Creative Leaders vimeo.com/298197873 - thanks @ldconf & @clearleft (link to slides in next tweet) #design #ux

A blind spot for designers and is overestimating the value of HCI knowledge. In any organization, it's mastery of skills in HHI (Human to human) and HGI (Human to Group) interaction that defines how effective you will be.

1. Ready to politic in a whole new way?
I don’t ask for much but if there’s one thread to make sure gets retweeted, this is the one. 2020 starts now. I know some of ya’ll are burnt out, but stick w/me. We’ve made this easy & efficient for us.
2. Do you want to keep doing the same things over & over?
Sign yet another petition to nowhere?
Hope govt is going to solve our problems?
Beg for a new platform when there are literally dozens out there?
Remove yourself from the battlefield altogether?
3. Talk ourselves to death about doing something?
Rely on Larps/frauds, and there are plenty?
Chain ourselves to doors?
Wait for the GOP?
All that haven’t made a lick of difference?

Major incident at the #ConEd plant right by my house just now. Sky is lit up like the 4th of July. #Astoria #Queens #NYC
Everyone is safe and sound over here. We have all gotten a kick out of reading thru the mentions. Thanks for the entertaining night, Twitterverse.
I'm sure we can all chalk this up to @Noahsyndergaard coming back to
#Queens using the Bifrost. #Marvel #Thor #Mets #ConEd #Astoria

The Story of Edcon : The Rise and Fall #Edcon
What prompted this was the Sunday Times article yesterday, which stated that Edcon was on the brink of liquidation. Like all articles , this was riddled with some facts and a few ommissions. The Ceo of Edcon @GrantPattison tweeted that his dissappointment #Edcon

Oh hell. Death is bloody inconvenient, isn't it? There you are, cruising along, doing your thing and then... BAM. Someone drops dead. And no it's not a surprise. You knew it was coming. You treasured every day. Smiled every time you saw that person acting in anything.

#StanLee
And then one day, you wake up, just like any other day, get out bed; groan, take a shit, shower, shave, drink your coffee. And hear your idol is dead, while you walk out the door, not quite dry from your shower.

Where were you when you heard, Stan Lee died?

#StanLeeRIP
Do you stop, look at the time, and realize there is nothing you need to be doing at this particular moment.

Nothing more important than listening to the news. Learning nothing and imagining instead what it must have been like for Stan Lee to die.
