I attend a lot of conferences. Okay, more than a lot — an ungodly amount. Just check the Conferences tag on this blog. Attending them is a ball, inspirational but tiring. Speaking at them is a privilege, stressful but rewarding. Organizing them…now that isn’t something I’d wish on my worst enemy. Why? Because it’s a [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: The corner of W 13th St and W 4th St
For anyone who’s ever been to Manhattan, or perhaps even heard of Manhattan, chances are you know that our roads are based on a grid — Streets are east-west and are numbered, Avenues are north-south and are numbered or named. 62nd Street and 2nd Avenue 106th Street and Park Avenue 1st Street and 1st Avenue [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Back in 30 minutes
Time has always bothered me; I don’t really believe in it. It’s a human invention, a representation of reality. Now the passage of time, that’s something I can believe in. You can feel it.

Photo of the day: A man in need of an iPad
…or a Kindle, or a nook. I recently spotted this man at a Starbucks in SoHo. He was clearly settled in for the day, his keyboard propped up against the wall behind him, feet kicked up, book in hand…and in the other hand, a magnifying glass to help him read the damn thing. That very [Keep Reading…]

I met a really nice guy at STC Summit named Eric Roberson [LinkedIn] [Twitter]. He attended my Evangelizing Yourself talk, and was apparently very moved by it (which moved me).

Back in February, I wrote a blog post titled How Little You Really Know. If you haven’t read it, go check it out now. I got the below email in response, and have kept it in my inbox as a reminder of why I do what I do. It’s a few months late, but I [Keep Reading…]

Old Guard Versus New Guard: An Interview by Tom Johnson
While at STC Summit in Dallas a month ago, Tom Johnson, a technical writer for the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, asked if he could interview me for his blog I’d Rather Be Writing. From Tom’s blog post: In this videocast, I talk with Whitney Hess at the STC Summit in Dallas about her [Keep Reading…]
Sketchnotes from UK UPA’s UX Clinic
Like I mentioned in my post on UX London, I also had the pleasure of being on a UK UPA panel with Dave Gray, Jeff Patton, and Stephen Anderson titled UX Clinic. We spent about two hours answering the audience’s questions — some previously submitted and some on the fly. It was a blast. Eva-Lotta [Keep Reading…]
