Data and Statistics

The disinformation agents, propaganda creators, and PR spinners are out. Are you sharing what they created? Here’s one I saw on LinkedIn. This infographic came from an article where journalist Tom Gara dug into everything Google knew about him. Disclaimer: I didn’t read the article. I’m reacting to seeing this isolated infographic going around LinkedIn. […]

There is no company I love/hate more than Zagg. I’ve been a customer for what feels like 10 years. When the screen protector goes on nicely, nothing’s better than a well-protected phone screen! I’m very into my phone! I’ve tried other no-name screen protectors I found on Amazon. One was glass but so thin that […]

I saw a Facebook post that it’s easier to critique than to create. Someone commented underneath that that’s true on face value, but both take work. And it made me think. It DOES sound like critique is easier or low effort compared to the toils of creation… but what about the other person’s point? So […]

I recently saw a Gartner report (I think it was this one; I was just emailed a PDF) on the Future of Experience: Generation Z. Generation Z Generation Z are those born between 1995 and 2010. Here in Feb 2018, that would make them roughly between the ages of 7 and 22. I immediately have […]

Our Bay Area Axure Meetup has over 200 members. I’m proud of that! But for some reason, meetups have very low turnouts even though I try to make them relevant, cool, and not too frequent. I decided to put on a User Research hat and send out a 2-question survey asking people who can’t go […]

If you stacked a bunch of things end to end, it would reach the moon and back twice. If you lined up all the candy made in that factory each day, it would be the weight of 13 farming vehicles. But what does that mean to me? Do I have a better sense of “10 […]

How many times has a post like this ended up in your news feed? And then let’s say you share it. If you’re like me or my Facebook friends, by default, your shares and posts are set to “Friends Only.” That means this teacher will never see that you shared it. What if you share […]

Using imagery to show people something that may be important… that’s a good idea! Cheesing out and making very few images and then showing people the same image when the data falls into a range? Not as helpful. How much battery do I have left in each of these images? That went from 93%, which […]

I recently ran an experiment. I had a blog post here. I posted it to my Facebook page. And I wanted to try “boosting” it so more people would see that Facebook post (and hopefully click it to see the blog post). Seems simple, right? For a flat fee, Facebook will offer to push your […]
