As AI Dominates More of Our Lives, How Design Can Mitigate Unethical Behavior
Last April, former President Barack Obama released a video warning us not to believe everything we see and hear on the internet, at least many thought it was from the ex-president. In actuality, it was produced by actor and director Jordan Peele using artificial intelligence (AI) and highlighted deepfakes. There are many examples of how […]
Making The Case For Why Inclusion Is Good For Design In Tech
There’s no shortage of criticism about technology’s impact in today’s society, but often the attention being paid is to the algorithms and capabilities — it’s the function, but not the form. But the programming isn’t solely to blame for the woes inflicted on us by technology, as part of our attention should be looking at the […]
Apple Appears To Listen To The Social Web, Arrives At SXSW & People Flock
I’m almost set to head out to my third year at the South by Southwest conference and one of the things I had to write about was Apple’s somewhat “surprising” announcement that they were setting up an ad hoc store near the heart of the SXSW event that I was going to. When I say […]

Coming Full Circle To SXSW & This Time I’m Photographing It All

In an earlier post that I wrote on Network Solutions entitled “Learning all you can through 100 interviews“, I called attention to the awesome job that three friends were doing with their own “startup project“.

How to hack into conferences and get noticed
Objective: To attend a tech/web conference and get noticed while having maximum exposure. I got this latest blog post idea from soon-to-be author and owner of Duck9 (and a great networker) Larry Chiang from “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School” and you should read his earlier version of how to work a conference. […]
Zappos.com shows that customer service is a good thing.
View more presentations from zappos. One of the two keynotes that I attended at South by Southwest last week that I really enjoyed as given by Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh.
