Twitter.com’s Newer and Older buttons at the bottom of the tweet stream are NO MORE! Just this morning when I refreshed the page, I noticed that they’ve been replaced by the lovely more button: When you press more, another 20 tweets appear right there on the page. Much easier to use — scrolling is not [Keep Reading…]

I’m here at SXSW and I want to meet you!
I’m here in Austin hanging out at SXSW until Wednesday, then going straight to Memphis for the IA Summit. Tomorrow, Saturday, March 14, at 3:30pm, I’ll be on a panel with Jeffrey Zeldman, Roger Black and Kristina Halvorson called “From Freelance to Agency: Start Small, Stay Small.” I told you all about it in December.

I’m Speaking at Pittsburgh Web Design Day
When I went to Pittsburgh in October for Carnegie Mellon Homecoming to see the reunion of my friend Joanna‘s band, I had the pleasure of finally meeting my Twitter pal G. Jason Head. Jason is a front-end web developer and runs Refresh Pittsburgh. He’s also putting together the first-ever Pittsburgh Web Design Day — “a [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Nine wrong ways to swipe
I don’t drink whiskey, but this ad almost made me want to. Jameson ran an ad campaign last year exclusively for NYC subways. This hyper-localized approach isn’t very common for a national (hell, international) brand, and it really impressed me. Why? Because they demonstrated “insider knowledge.” MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE THERE ARENINE WRONG WAYS TO SWIPE [Keep Reading…]
Experience Design Lessons We Can Learn from My Nail Salon
I’m a native Manhattanite and uptown girl, so it should be no surprise that I’ve been getting manicures since I was a munchkin. It isn’t only about having freshly painted nails; it’s more about taking 30 minutes every few weeks to really treat myself and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. I’ve [Keep Reading…]

Last night, IxDA NYC hosted a recap event of the Interaction 09 conference in Vancouver last month. Thanks to our lovely hosts, JPMorgan Chase, and to all of the volunteers who helped pull it together. MJ Broadbent, one of IxDA NYC’s fabulous local leaders, asked if I would be willing to talk about how Twitter [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Brick wall behind glass
Last year I was going somewhere on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when I passed the Paul Saini Deli on 95th Street and Columbus. In the first window were several shelves filled with an array of grocery products, pretty typical. But as I kept walking I saw there was a second window — and [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Calorie Counts at Dunkin Donuts
Sometimes regulations are evil. On April 30, 2008, NYC passed a law requiring fast food restaurants to very visibly post calorie counts on their menus. Unfortunately for me, that meant finding out that my favorite doughnut at Dunkin Donuts, the Boston Kreme, is the most caloric of them all. Oh how I hate you Mayor [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: At the MIT Bookstore
Okay, so photos of the day. While I was at UIE’s UI13 conference in October, I took a gander through the MIT bookstore. When I stumbled upon these two geeky tees, I couldn’t help but snap a pic while no one was looking. I went to Carnegie Mellon a.k.a. Nerds ‘R’ Us and even we [Keep Reading…]
