Pinking

I just sat through a live webinar hosted by FEI – Front End of Innovation titled “Womenomic Meet Design: A Female innovation Strategy.” It was a presentation about the findings of a 3 year research project titled “Female Interaction,” a multidisciplinary research project focusing on female interaction design for advanced electronic products. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s quite facinating. You can check out more information on their site.

While the information was great, my key takeaway wasn’t an insight or idea, but rather a term: Pinking.

What did you earn today?

Last week @MarkFairbanks and I had the esteemed honor of participating in Seth Godin’s Medicine Ball Sessions. I call it an honor because it truly was. Not only because we got the opportunity to engage with Seth for 3 full days and learn what’s in his head, but the people that were in attendance were amazing. They came from all walks of life, all types of experience but with one thread that wove us all together; a willingness to see see things differently, own it and do something with it.

Keeping up with The @Joneses

Wikipedia tells us that “Keeping up with the Joneses” is an idiom referring to the comparison to one’s neighbor as a benchmark for social caste or the accumulation of material goods. As with everything digital, it’s always fascinating to see established human behavior begin to show up (or morph itself) in a new online incarnation. With that, I present Exhibit A: Klout, the ultimate letter jacket for geeks.

Answers Not Needed

This weekend I had the opportunity to attend the pilot session of the “SisU Bootcamp: Your New Mission in the Sisterhood of Success.” The event was ran by the ever engaging @ChiefHotMomma and the entire session was amazingly beneficial. But one activity stood out for the applicable lessons it taught. Do answers really solve problems?

Dear Apple, What Happened?

I am an Apple superfan, I admit it. It takes a lot for me to admit that the mothership can do any wrong, even when they do. But I have to admit, the magic UX/UI team over at Apple seem to have missed the mark regarding the keyboard on the iPad.
