Working in digital content for arts orgs and non-profits #DigiDay2022
Everyone is feeling very much seen in @mkeating121’s session on how to use data to improve your web content. “You’ve all adapted to the dark and oppressive place content creation is” (much like a deep sea crab 🦀) #DigiDay2022

Absolutely mortified to reveal that at my first in-person talk in twoish years at #MuseumTech2022, @DanNouveau got the audience to sing happy birthday to me. Grateful no video of this exists

Been in a series of (useful) data workshops this week but I have enjoyed hearing about all the places data can turn up. So far we've had:

data lake
data orchard (??? is it making artisanal cider?)
data sunsets (!!)

Does anyone have apprentices in their digital teams? We're looking at creating a role here, but I'd love to talk to anyone who's been here before, so that we can actually make it useful - and *maybe* even interesting

Ohmygoddd @ManUtd need to sign a service designer, if only to stop people like me buying a shirt w/next day delivery 2 weeks ago that hasn't arrived because they *don't have the font* to print the shirt, so customer services get contacts that they can't really help and aarrrgghh
