Walked out of the shower with a towel around my waist, facing a tweaked guy with a gun. Took my wallet and ran out of the apartment. Good times.

Summary: Computerized touch screens and 'smart' features with poorly thought-out UI and UX are a solution in search of a problem.

Start with what directly benefits the user and driving experience.

Go from there.

Hopefully, this fine will make companies think harder about their back-end architecture to account for data sovereignty rules. There's a ton of similar (or stronger) rules in the pipeline for India, Japan, China, etc. If you expect having customers use apps, or access your site from outside your own country, you better have a plan.

Pro-tip: If a kid is getting promoted up to a different school (K, Middle, or HS), the previous summer, take them over to the new school and kick or toss the ball, bike around, or have a picnic. It's unlikely the buildings will be open, but in most public schools, the outside areas often are.

The first week in the new school will be a breeze vs kids who look like they're ready to throw up.

This also works if moving to a different home, city, state, or country. Spend as much time around and near the school before the first day, just playing.

Great stuff. Waiting on the 'W' edition.

We spent the whole day cleaning my elderly mom's plant-filled patio. Pressure-washed, repotted, and pruned everything. Even got the little cherub fountain working.

Canoes, shovels, and ladders.

The super-clever downfall of so many historical (and recent) walls.

Next election, make a feature-length movie with Ryan Reynolds, release it in theaters, and collect 2x this amount.

The backlash on this will be glorious.

Metaphor for so many life events.

That Boochani book was really eye-opening. Came across it via The Guardian when it first came out.
