Yep, that’s me — I light things on fire and then I watch ‘em burn.

This is called being #heweb19 responsible. And on a Sunday morning. WHO DOES THAT? Also, please note that stack of essential books I brought for my UX Bootcamp workshop. My checked luggage clocked in at 49 lbs. Which means, basically, I brought no clothes.
Talk about dedication to the cause.

Note: authors tagged where possible. MIA (missing on IG but always relevant) Sarah Richards, Leah Buley, Eric Meyer, Whitney Quesenbery, Steve Krug.

Sometimes you’re innocently working on microcopy and best practices and you stumble across the best sentence ever — so unexpected that you burst out laughing in an empty room and spit coffee all over your table. Well played, my friend. So very well played. (Also, Scott Kubie’s brief on Writing For Designers is witty, smart, entertaining as hell, and packed with a lot of great reminders and tips in a measly 65 pages. I strongly recommend you mosey over to A Book Apart and add it to your library.)

[image info: a paperback book is opened to a segment on Scale where I’ve circled and hearted my favorite passage from the author: “Hyperbole is a crutch. Calling everything the ‘biggest’, ‘best’, ‘greatest’, and ‘most fantastic ever’ is the sign of a weak mind. A weak, orange, treasonous mind.” I have cleaned up the coffee — you’re welcome — that narrowly missed the other books nearby. Also, thanks for the Oxford commas, Scott. *high fives*]

This is why I decided that I'm not going to leave field labels up to the devs when we migrate to Drupal. There has to be a content specialist designing the content authoring experience. #heweb19 https://t.co/fMxDOHVcx2
