Today Twitter launched a redesign of the Following and Followers pages. By default the Expanded view is displayed, but you can switch to the List view in the top left: It’ll still show you 20 people per page, but without the location and last tweet sent. On the right side of each username are two [Keep Reading…]
So you wanna be a user experience designer — Step 1: Resources
Pretty much every single day I get a tweet, email, or in person request for information on how to get started in the field of user experience. I’ve recently had a few people reach out to me even asking me to mentor them throughout the process. Given that I often find myself repeating the same [Keep Reading…]

A couple months ago Graham Lawlor asked me to be on the July panel for Ultra Light Startups, a group of entrepreneurs who collaborate to help each other launch startups quicker and cheaper.

Today’s photo comes courtesy of my friend Mike Singleton over at drop.io. This door is at 12 Gay Street in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan.
