Was so honored to speak at @smashingconf.com last week and got a wonderful sketch note from @erblack.me 🚀 💪
I love single-track conferences, because you don't have to choose what to attend and what to sacrifice. That was @smashingconf.com !

Am going to keep saying this:

Now 487 higher-ed prez have signed this declaration of independence.

Includes *all* the places from which my parents + siblings + I have degrees: Univ of Redlands. Santa Clara. Scripps. UC Berkeley. Cornell. Ursinus. Tufts. Harvard.

Get your family's team on board.
Very useful interactive spreadsheet of the college/univ prez who have signed this declaration of academic independence.

Up to 480 signers now, up from 180 three days ago.

Thanks to @ejgoldstick.bsky.social for putting it together.

For reference, his doc is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Here's a starter pack of folks who are either focused on information architecture or are IA-adjacent. Anyone else who should be on this list? go.bsky.app/GuDoxo3

We need an Oscar’s of programming. And this year I’d award it to whoever built the new UX for the iPhone flashlight. Just ridiculously amazing work and obviously a labor of love.
