My well-used, 2-year old Jabra head phones broke.
Does anyone have a headphone recommendation they'd like to make?
I am on calls half the day most days, so willing to invest a little money into a sturdy, comfy set with a good mic

A few times, I’ve given myself an audience of stuffed animals, so I really up the weirdo factor.
Wow. Kind of my nightmare scenario. I live in/with my head so much. Losing that… man…

I’m a blues mood courtesy of @miniver.bsky.social so am posting one of my fav Muddy Waters old times blues tracks, “Can’t call her sugar”: m.youtube.com/watch?v=e2B0...
I choose to understand this as having been summoned
I unironically love this. Our moment needs shitty tools more than ever. (by @joeelmendorf.bsky.social)
Taking daughter to a concert for her birthday. Lead singer for one of the bands yells out “fuck Israel, fuck ICE” and the entire venue exploded in cheers. More commentary about Palestine and the crowd explodes again. Israel has totally lost the youth. An entire generation. Pretty amazing.
Doing a lot of personalization work lately, and I'm working across three different systems, and man is it hard keeping track of what one system does that another doesn't.
Landed in Philly for @theiaconf.bsky.social
Always a little bittersweet coming back here. Philly was a great place to live, and I didn’t get to stay as long as I wanted.
These last couple episodes of Daredevil leave you feeling something in a way that most tv does not.
What if… and stay with me now… what if there was a platform where everyone had an account and instead of sending a message directly to someone, you instead posted it so everyone could see and respond
We would all sign up for that.
Bonus: you could rekindle the tags versus folders argument again just for kicks.
Just finished a small workshop in the best way, to a virtual room of smiling faces, even someone clapping in excitement for where we are in the process.
Collaborative design is the way. Collaboration is the way.
Good morning Bluesky!

Glad they made it back. yay!!!
I have to admit to not watching just in case. Which is horrible to say. But I find I’m all traumaed out. And avoid lots of things now.
Good morning Bluesky
Copying something I wrote in one of my books. I don't remember writing it, so it feels like I'm plagiarizing myself.
But I don't want to think to write something new. It's late, and I'm tired.
How you think about the stuff in your site isn’t how your users think about the stuff. If you want your site to work for your users, you have to design a site that reflects how they think:

Part 3 in my series on information architecture.
There's that TKK line, "...rivers of blood, and years of darkness..."
I kind of feel like that, only I'm continuing with my rivers of text with another entry in my IA series.
That makes 3 new, short, posts in 2 weeks (plus I finished another one that'd been in the hopper).
"...rivers of text..."
I came to Bluesky to say the same thing. This Daredevil episode was WOAH
Worldbuilding model from Jason Hobbs' masterclass. Poses The Natural World vs. The Artificial World
from a badass IA masterclass with Jason Hobbs
I did some research into what even is a question and part of my output is a 20 questions typology that I've been presenting in a visual chart that's meant to suggest the periodic table of elements
I built something that's not not like a magic 8-ball to analyze your questions but hopefully it's more useful..
Go ahead: ask it a question

I loved this. Thanks for doing it
Hot Wheels made a bunch of the Star Wars ships and I have about all of them I think. They’re awesomely designed. So much variation and also making sense-ness
Space wind!
I’ll have to watch again to rewatch the relationship bits. I never understood why Padme put up with his shit
