askrom @zakiwarfel That's a valid point, but what do you call the conference? The book? The college course/major? ... "Design"? - 3/29, 1pm from twitterrific

askrom @davegray Only someone living in an era of pervasive machines -- and their users -- would consider a book something that can be "used". - 3/29, 9am from Tweetie

askrom @oubliette I love that site mostly for the writing. Brilliant. - 3/25, 12am from Tweetie

askrom I feel like I'm not getting something in the current "sustainability and design" meme. Not to be a dick, but is this preaching to the choir? - 3/10, 7am from twitterrific

askrom @andyrutledge Of course, you could conduct all your business transactions in cash and probably avoid both banking and taxes completely! ;-) - 3/7, 7am from Tweetie

askrom @KrisColvin @garyvee Maybe Twitter following is more like getting a business card. You may keep it, or you may purposely lose it days later. - 2/4, 9am from twitterrific

askrom @stuntbox I'm not sure what the debate is. Cities aren't going anywhere unless the cylons attack. We *can* support responsible urban living. - 2/1, 3pm from twitterrific

askrom @docbaty @stuntbox Sure, all cities involve some damage to the Earth. All civilization does. Phoenix happens to do so the most outrageously. - 2/1, 3pm from twitterrific

askrom Peggy's home! :-) - 1/29, 6pm from Power Twitter

askrom @teradome Good point. The "15 minutes of fame" only made sense in the era of non-user-recordable, non-time-shiftable *live* TV broadcasting. - 1/29, 9am from twitterrific

askrom @jdwilbur I agree -- and I already paid for the iPhone app! - 1/29, 7am from twitterrific

askrom @natalie Actually it was probably the advent of snapshots, i.e., roll film, i.e., the Kodak Brownie camera. - 1/26, 2pm from twitterrific

askrom @zakiwarfel I see what you're getting at. You see contraception as equivalent to junk food and novelty soap: i.e., useless, or even harmful. - 1/26, 11am from twitterrific

askrom @zakiwarfel Every word she says on TV is a sound bite. She was arguing about the controversial part of the spending ... almost all of the... - 1/26, 6am from Tweetie

askrom @zakiwarfel Evaluating policy based on a sound bite defensive political response isn't helpful. She was trying to change the loaded subject. - 1/26, 5am from Tweetie

askrom @andybudd Well, I'm just splitting hairs here, really. - 1/19, 2pm from twitterrific

askrom @andybudd I agree that a homepage is probably just as wrong as a box - skip right to the actual experience of testing and using the product. - 1/19, 1pm from twitterrific

askrom @mediajunkie Not bad. I think I am over 1,000. Which means 50% of my tweets twoosh. Including this one! Of course, I often do it on purpose. - 1/19, 9am from web

askrom @jarango Sweet. Also trying [ http] with Quicksliver, but maybe AS is better. - 1/17, 12pm from twitterrific

askrom @armano Visual *thinking* is something you can do all by yourself. Visual *communication* is translating ideas into images for other people. - 1/17, 10am from twitterrific

askrom @armano I'm working on a big "Visual Thinkers" blog post right now, but it sounds like it'll be from a 100% opposite perspective than yours! - 1/17, 8am from twitterrific

askrom ... UX needs to be thought of as a collaboration between skills in marketing, creative, and usability. - 1/16, 8am from twitterrific

askrom @semanticwill Um, UX *is* a creative role. Those people *are* UX people. Whether or not they know anything about usability is another story. - 1/16, 8am from twitterrific

askrom You can see from the pilot's flightpath he made his most important decision (river vs. LGA?) directly over Yankee Stadium. [ http] - 1/15, 11pm from twitterrific

askrom It wasn't until around 2006 or 7 that the press and the pundits in general stopped buying the "all bad things are Clinton's fault" argument. - 1/14, 9am from twitterrific

askrom @Yoni "if there is an attack on obama's watch, obama will be seen as a failure"... and the sad part is Bushies still blame Clinton for 9/11! - 1/14, 9am from twitterrific

askrom @vanderwal I have no idea how Republicans came into this. It looks like *you* brought it up. Evidence suggests that Reps in fact pile it on. - 1/14, 7am from twitterrific

askrom @Yoni I told a teacher that "ameba" was spelled wrong. He had me look it up, & then write "A little bit ofknowledge is dangerous" 100 times. - 1/13, 12pm from twitterrific

askrom @mulegirl Hm, now that you put it that way it doesn't seem so unreasonable... Hmm... Swim is 25% longer, Bike 2x, Run 2x. Not so reasonable? - 1/11, 10pm from twitterrific

askrom RT @jeffpiazza: Lesson from the 08 NFL Playoffs: Momentum is more important than preparation time... true in business as well? Very "Blink." - 1/11, 4pm from twitterrific
