If you're a designer, and craft is your thing, this article is for you. John puts together a lot of what I've been trying to tell designers who keep asking me "so what now?"

After 30 min. of online exploration, including asking AI... after 4 rounds of emails with support, they finally figured out where I can find my invoices on their site: All subscription invoices can be found at Settings > Billing > Cancel Subscription. #UXDesign #UX #IA

It seems @TraegerGrills wasn't prepared for a million people to be smoking turkeys at the same time on Thanksgiving and their servers couldn't handle the traffic. Guess it's back to monitoring temperature with my analog eyeballs every 15 minutes 'cause I can't log into my app.

My 18-year-old son left this week to serve in San Jose for 2 years. Proud of who he is—and who he’ll become. Service changes us: it builds courage, empathy, and love. Wherever you are, find a way to serve—you’ll gain more than you give.

There's a subtle cruelty to email auto-responders. They're the 1st to respond, lulling you into a sense of connection, then they do a 180° w/ a "Psych! Dave's not here man..." to excuse their lack of response. Now I'm sadder to have received the auto-response vs nothing at all.

Playing with a new tool, OneForAll, to manage our social media from one spot. Just checking it out for now. This post was written in OFA, then posted to LI, Threads, and X all at once. It helped me write the post and set up hashtags, too!
