I may be an outlier, but it’s not New Years to me unless I’m hearing @vornietom shouting “GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD!” as @BrennanLM makes collapsing crystal noises.

This is just such a delight!.
Back in June, I help my mom clean out her pool shed. There's a strand of old twinkle lights with plastic flamingos. "Throw them out," she says. "They don't work." But I see that the flamingos came off easily, so I start to pull them off. "I can do something with these.".

MS Paint was a “drawing tool”, yet we don’t design interfaces with it. That’s like saying a chainsaw is a cutting tool. Sure, but you won’t see me filleting a fish with one.

In every organization I helped shift focus to more user-centered content, what always sold it was storytelling about the numbers. You gotta test, sure, but in your results you have to tell a compelling story about why your results are the way they are.

I still stand by my idea for an early-internet-themed Mediterranean restaurant named “ROFL FALAFEL”.

I can’t stress how much easier my life got as a content strategist once I started using @airtable. And before you say it, no, they haven’t paid me to say that. Being able to easily conduct a content audit has no price.
