We loved @sboots' keynote this year so much, we’ve decided to make it available to everyone immediately. What Sean said was so important and so often quoted by others throughout the conference that we didn’t want to limit who could see it! youtube.com/watch?v=CaaWybK4…

One of the biggest mistakes I see repeatedly in all sectors - the civil service is particularly guilty - is making the mistake of confusing good governance with holding meetings.

Today's UX dark pattern brought to me by @AirCanada. Charging USD instead of CAD for a flight that I booked in Canada between two Canadian cities with a Canadian credit card. As if the chaotic pricing that changes every 20 minutes wasn't bad enough.
