So I’m tooling around the web and come across this video of a workshop I did at Agile Roots 2010. The main audience for the workshop is Agile developers, and it seeks to convey how the UX practice is a different dimension of work, separate yet inseparable from software development, yet equally critically to the success of the overall product.

The sound quality is a bit iffy in the beginning (due to me waving my hands around and forgetting that one of them is holding the microphone), but get past that and there are a few good nuggets for anyone who wants to better understand how UX and coding are two dimensions of the same thing.

Enjoy!

My friend Karl just sent me a link to his art blog flamingodingo.blogspot.com

I love his raw style. I also love how there is this sense that the same characters (or their cousins) re-appear in different art pieces. Hard to explain, but it’s weirdly sort of Stockholmish Swedish, culturally – well, that’s just my opinion – I’m sure he’d disagree :)
