My dog Starbuck suddenly went blind. She’s a good pup. She spent her whole life very energetic and confident. Now she is very hesitant and hasn’t had her love of walks anymore.

Have any of you gotten your dog another dog to help her confidence and to get her moving more? Starbuck has become very docile lately. Doesn’t stare out the window looking for dogs to bark at and doesn’t charge the door anymore. Blindness has taken a lot of her spirit so far.

A few things I find fascinating about most news websites is this:

1) Designing good news website is largely a solved problem. Fairly easy problem.

2) Most news websites aren't very good. This leads me to believe there are fundamental flaws with the product design process at most news organizations. Most likely a lack of rigor and proper processes to figure out what the user problems they are trying to solve and why whenever they redesign their websites.
