Thanks for the hangs and great conversation! Made my week!
I had the EXTREME pleasure of meeting up with my pal @aaronirizarry.bsky.social today!

When we were last together him and my wife were belting out Ace of Spades by Motörhead at a live-band karaoke in Pittsburgh.

I bought my first @aaronirizarry.bsky.social merch 20 years before we met. So, here we are. Life is cool.

Highly recommend this presentation.
New Year, new start, right?

In her talk from UXLx 2024, Lauren Alys Kelly talks about how hard it is to change behaviour, and how as designers we can leverage our users behaviour to create more impactful experiences.

Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing!!!
