"We have discovered that intersections, where the vast majority of serious bicycle-involved crashes happen, create some of the most persistent design challenges." (Pictured: A solution).
-Polly Trottenberg, @NYC_DOT Commissioner
nacto.org/2019/05/20/don…
@NYC_DOT "Intersections designed for people of all ages and abilities are critically important for getting more people to bike in our cities. NACTO has developed an essential design guide for intersections of all shapes and cities of all sizes."
-Luann Hamilton, @ChicagoDOT
@NYC_DOT @ChicagoDOT “Improving intersections is a critical part of moving towards zero fatalities and serious injuries, & this guidance will support us as we continue to expand Vancouver’s world-class all-ages-and-abilities bicycle network"

RELEASE: 84 Million Trips Taken on Shared Bikes and Scooters Across the U.S. in 2018

More than twice as many trips were taken on shared micromobility in the U.S. as compared to the year before.
nacto.org/2019/04/17/84-…
Dockless pedal bikes have largely disappeared from most U.S. cities; in part replaced by shared scooters.
E-bikes, while limited in rollout, have been heavily used in the cities with substantial e-bike fleets.

Time this Monday for a few thoughts on voice-driven "conversational" digital products. (Oh, btw, come hear me talk about them on Wednesday in #Seattle: ) #voice #design
1 - Speech recognition technology often gets labeled as == "conversational". That's incorrect and misleading. Being able to identify the parts of the human anatomy is necessary to be a doctor, but doesn't enable understanding of how bodies work and don't.
2 - Recognition identifies words and phrases. It does not understand the context and define the meaning that the words and phrases represent. It can't. This is why vocabulary and comprehension are both taught in schools.

1. Hey y'all. So, I was gonna nuke my Twitter archive, to get a fresh start for the new year. But when I sat down to do it I just ... couldn't. If you, sensibly, don't care about my Twitter decisions, mute this thread. Forthwith, an explanation & a few reflections on Twitter.
2. Why was I going to nuke the archive? Because Twitter is dangerous. What it *feels* like, and how people *want* to use it, is basically as real-time conversation -- jokes, riffs, odd thoughts, & other ephemera. It feels like we're all just hangin' out, BSing.
3. That informality causes people to let their guard down & say things they might not want to stand behind forever. There's *tons* of stuff that I might say when BSing with friends that I would not want inscribed forever under my byline. It's part of what BSing is for!

It's time for my 2018 #design recap! Less writing, more @ideaplatz speaking and podcasts, and a job transition to boot. I expanded my public talks to include not just VUI but conversational UI, artificial intelligence, and improv for creativity. Here's my year... 1/
My first 2018 post was aimed at #VUI #design job seekers. Rather than reply to a series of 1:1 inquiries, I look for patterns to inspire published pieces. A VERY common question: "Any tips for my Amazon/Google/etc voice design interview?" #voiceFirst medium.com/@muppetaphrodi… 2/
In February 2018, I had the honor (+challenge!) of following @MrAlanCooper on the #Ixd18 mainstage. In my early days on the #EchoLook, I daydreamed about speaking to @ixdconf attendees about that product #design process. A literal #ux dream come true. 3/ vimeo.com/254533851

What's needed?
@davidbaldock & Allan Buckwell of @IEEP_eu:
1: Sufficient funding for environmental measures in Pillar 1
2: Specifics for New Delivery Model

4. Fund ANCs under Pillar 1

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?
