1/ Traveling alone has been a great opportunity to catch up with podcasts, here are my favorite episodes so far:
2/ Invisibilia catches up with a guy on the spectrum trying to find love - fascinating insight into his world: pca.st/rd72
3/ This Strangers episode has an incredible plot twist that made me literally gasp: pca.st/V2aQ
4/ An inspiring story of a man trying to restart his life by pretending 5 thousand people are rooting for him: pca.st/Rcr7
5/ A refreshingly cordial conversation between the left and the right that never devolved into identity politics: pca.st/9c72
6/ A fascinating dissection of branding and the power of perception (the answer is no, btw): pca.st/gyHf
7/ Heart-wrenching story of the ending of one life and the beginning of a new one: pca.st/4Pr3

To folks starting out in design, here’s 8️⃣ little tricks to navigate your career as you start the new year.
1️⃣ Find your North Star — explore everything you’re interested in, then double down on the few things that you’re good at and enjoy doing (that combination is key).
If money is an issue, don’t pretend it isn’t. Work on whatever you can (no job is too small for anyone) to make enough money so you don’t have to worry about meeting your basic needs. Then get back to exploring your interests. Don’t give up!

Is it possible that we may have a limited number of "connection points" (read: Dunbar's number) and we're now more connected to the people we *want* to rather than the people we *have* to?
If that were the case, it seems right to let us spend those points however we want (power to the people ✊) but what is our criteria for choosing communities to connect with?
Are we optimizing against friction? Have we chosen communities that support rather than challenge us?

After just 2 days, I'm leaving #GDC18 pretty energized! So, I started thinking about what a non-dystopic AR future could look like (are there any?)

{{ THREAD 👇🙄👇}}
It seems to me that the rise of AR could treat ~physical spaces~ like we do platforms like iOS/Android as well as Xbox/PS4/etc.
For decades, technology has fought to tear down limitations brought upon by geography. It brought us the internet, remote work, social networks, etc.

Hello, I am Edna Matta. I was born in #Ibague, known as #Colombia’s #CityofMusic. A beautiful place near snow-covered volcanos (Ruiz, Santa Isabel and Tolima), large expanses of paramo forest, lakes and streams where a diverse array of animal and plant species coexist
My story starts with #powerful, #strong #women in my #family. I was the third of 4 children and my mom #firstMentor had to raise us practically alone, since my father had to work in a different city, 20h away by car
My mom is a very #strong #woman that taught me #values, to #workhard and to be #self-sufficient #StrongWomen #StrongFamily

🔹

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

So this week was maybe the 10th or so time I've testified on the Hill, as an scientist/researcher. A couple thoughts on the process. 1/
First, almost everyone else who testifies in congress is doing this as part of their job, e.g., as a government official or as a lobbyist or as some kind of industry or organization rep. Academic types are the exception, and the process is not geared to us. 2/
You almost never get a lot of notice. More than about a week or so is unusual. The pros can deal with this; they already have most of their testimony and story ready to go, and have at least some kind of support team helping them. Academics are basically on their own. 3/

Thinking about Cyborg and/or technologized bodies. Attended a tech conference last week where many people had in mind "fixes" to problems of aging and disability (even when it was not couched that way).
I got to speak, and I felt like it was in a different language - about disability pride, about how everyone will one day be disabled (if they get to live), about designing while respecting "nothing about us without us."
I love the stuff I get to use. But there's a real problem with glamorizing technology and/or being cyborg.

Glamorizing the tech and the idea of these technologized bodies makes us ignore important issues, like maintenance and social meanings.
