This past week I watched the incredibly moving documentary The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling. I was a huge fan of Shandling and the film by Judd Apatow prompted the following Twitter thread… https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979170171171540993 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979170460293267456 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979170714854023172 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979171353382318080 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979172242360799237 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979172695899299840 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/979173078424006657…
I recently completed reading the great two-volume set The 50 Year Mission, An Oral History of Star Trek, and it got me thinking. The first volume, covering the original series and the subsequent films with the original cast, had some…
I’ve recently started jumping into Twitter threads with both feet in order to highlight some of the high geekery I love. Here is my recent thread on Star Trek coloring books… https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970139852355395584 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970140400852918273 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970140667912605697 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970140936784269312 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970141189860192256 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970141480538050560 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970141871363194885 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970142933528793089 https://twitter.com/JosephDickerson/status/970143776810381314…
I have to formally acknowledge the 50th Anniversary of the original and classic film, that wonderful movie that introduced us to a world where APES can talk and humans are mute: Planet of the Apes. I’m an apeophile from WAY…
Here’s an article I wrote for Content Science Review, reposted here: Another year in the books, and it’s time once again to look at where the user experience field is going over the next 12 months. This year was a…
First, understand that the user experience design is across multiple industries and areas – software, service design, retail, hardware, you name it. You should focus on the domain that you want to focus your user experience design efforts in and…
A month ago there was a very interesting report that The Walt Disney Company had been in discussions to buy 20th Century Fox’s entertainment assets… But that the talks had ended with no deal. This week, news is breaking that…
As I look at how the user experience design domain has evolved over the past few years, one thing has become very clear to me: Screens aren’t that important anymore. In the early days of UX, screens was a primary…
I’ve been a Bond fan since the first time I saw Goldfinger, on the ABC Sunday Night Movie with my dad, at the age of six. In the four decades since, I have watched every film multiple times, read all…
Q: Did the Prisoner escape? McGoohan: No. The Prisoner never escapes. I mean, you are a prisoner of something. Everyone is a prisoner of something. You escape when you are released.. By death. It’s the final release. As to how…
Social media sites and services like Facebook and Twitter are a great way to interact with colleagues, friends and customers… but for many it’s not enough. Yes, Virginia, the web site is still alive and well and (in my opinion)…
Finally got a chance to go check out the COllege Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta recently. As I am a rabid fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide, I was quite pleased to see how well represented the team…
I’m not ready for Halloween to be over. It’s not that I dislike Thanksgiving or Christmas… I just love the feel of the Halloween season. It’s not the candy, the costumes, or the foliage… It’s all of the above, and…
