Fave Idea of the week : August 8th, 2008

Friday, August 8th, 2008

  

All last week, folks at Adaptive Path were prepping to speak at either Agile 2008, or UX Week 2008, or both. Leah, Dan and I all were heads-down on presentations for both.

When Leah and Dan did a brown-bag run-through of their talk, there still some holes in their slide deck that needed to be filled in. That’s pretty par for the course…it’s best to get feedback from a brown bag before you’re totally done with the whole shebang.

Then when I saw the label in the placeholder for this slide, I giggled. Who doesn’t need a Diagram of Awesomeness in their talk?

Fave idea of the week : August 1st, 2008

Friday, August 1st, 2008
You know how sometimes you want to do something and it sounds kinda fun but maybe not really, like it wouldn’t be the best use of your time or skills or effort, but you kinda sorta want to do it anyways despite something in your gut saying maybe it’s not a good idea but you think you’ll probably say yes anyway?
When you hear yourself doing that, call Laura. Slicing through indecisive bullshit is her specialty. One example of which was the source of this week’s fave idea.
Do you want to spend your time and expertise working on something that’s one step away from a failwhale?
