Rebooting UX in Denmark – UX Camp CPH 2015

Once again the day came to pass where all fans of User Experience descended on the campus of the IT University of Copenhagen to talk UX, eye-tracking, card-sorting, service design, touchpoints, CX, CJM, UX, SUS, UCD, and all the other magic incantations they knew so well from their lives in the Real World. Now, they could meet, talk, and network with others of their own kind. It was once again time for … the UX Camp CPH! Ah, it was good to be back in ITU and its big open space today for Day 1 of the fourth iteration of UX Camp CPH. It was good to see familiar faces and meet new ones. We had three speakers lined up for this evening. All eyes were on the first speaker, Jonas Priesum from The Eye Tribe. He spoke about eye-tracking technology and areas for its potential use.

In which I rant about Twitter and quoted tweets

I am so annoyed with Twitter’s changes to the quoted tweet that I actually decided to write a blog post about it! I posted a mild rant on Twitter the other day about the change to quoting a tweet: What is with the new quote style on #Twitter iOS app? Is quoted tweet an image??

Show some respect for invisible illnesses!

Let’s get some respect for people with invisible illnesses here, OK? The Molly’s Fund blog has an explanation about invisible illness that you should go read. That link is courtesy of @pfanderson – thank you! However, that post has two images of things to say and things not to say to someone with an invisible illness, and there is no alternative text (alt text) for those who cannot read the text in the image. Therefore, I am posting them here with some alt text. 10 things to say to someone with an invisible illness I confess that I have a quibble with some of these, but I will say that 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10 are definitely spot on. How are you doing today? Is there anything I can do to make things easier? I am here for you, whatever you need. It must be very difficult to have…
