I want to upskill more next year in visual design, got any suggestions for courses or tutorials?

I’m a UX-focused designer with a pretty solid UI base already. Looking to take it to the next level though :-)

Separately, I saw this the other day that might help you in the short term.

…which I’d love to solve.

Have you done any sketches of a dream platform?

True! It seems you need to wean people off chat, somehow.

Teams is surprisingly ok at this as it has a secondary “slow” space that feels like email.

It’s still hard to keep up though.

I think defaulting to email and limited chat rooms for teams could work. No idea. It’s a big problem.

I wonder what a good alternative could be? 🤔

Joking. I bet you miss working with a calm communication tool. I certainly do...

No?

Also, this is another example of “back to basics” - simple and effective list. Almost laughable that anyone would do it.

Luckily, this one isn't that private:

I like Jack Black, RHCP and other nostalgic 00s music

...I forgot how good Tenacious D - Tribute was as a song.

This was sparked by someone asking me:

"What music do you like?"

I didn't have a quick answer even though I like lots of different types of music. Weird.

He’s from Città di Castello…rural man.

To you is there a difference between a racist and a culturalist in terms of the actual definition?

Haha - I was actually grooving at a recent MRI.

I smile at this story nearly every time I order a coffee in England.

Happy Friday!
