Shouldn’t bother me. But, you expect the pros to talk to you. Georgia published an opinion, we haven’t had chance to answer.

What is your art?

I define art as having nothing at all to do with painting.
Art is a human act, a generous contribution, something that might not work, and it is intended to change the recipient for the better, often causing a connection to happen.
Five elements that are difficult to find and worth seeking out. Human, generous, risky, change and connection.
You can be perfect or you can make art.
You can keep track of what you get in return, or you can make art.
You can enjoy the status quo, or you can make art. 
The most difficult part might be in choosing whether you want to make art at all, and committing to what it requires of you.

posted on fb via kevin via danah
via danah, really great article that speaks to deceptive design patterns at Uber, which in speaks to a lot of my interests and predilections on design in general.
Fascinating on many levels -- from the analysis of incentives on corporate, driver, and passenger sides, to the design decisions made in executing on that, to the premise that asymmetric information is still a viable strategy in deception, to the ways that collective evidence is assembled and analyzed.
But most of all, what's fascinating is a Msft research team working hard to figure out a system that's not only man-made, but wholly understood by a small group of people ... including people like Ryan, people we know. In a weird way, it treats a wholly synthetic system as complex physics that can only be pieced together in the dark.
By no means intended as pejorative, re: the research. Just a pathetic state of affairs. We treat ideas like math, because math is where they're manifest, math is how they're analyzed.
It recalls the way wikipedia entries used to spring up for the games we'd make at Area/Code, looking to decompile the complex systems that we were generating. We used to silently watch them evolve, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, yup, yup, nope, yup. But we were looking to delight people, not deceive them. Mostly.

can do heat map.. but not where cars are..
just a zoom out of our crazy lives.. when money drives us .. no?

An excellent discussion on what children's education needs to look like.
by peter d
As a father of twin 4-year-old boys, these questions are on my mind. (My wife may have a different point of view as an artist).
passion, curiosity, imagination, critical thinking, grit

My goal for my 4-year-olds is to expose them to as many ideas as I can, and then fan the flames on whatever they want to do. (One of my closest friends loved playing video games in high school. Today he’s one of the world’s top video game designers. You can create a career from any passion!)
interesting choice for critical thinking..
Critical thinking is probably the hardest lesson to teach kids.
It takes time and experience, and you have to reinforce habits like investigation, curiosity, skepticism, and so on.
If you have ever talked to four-year-olds, you’re probably familiar with the “Why?” game.
It goes something like this:
Parent (enthusiastically): “It’s time to go to school!”
we can do better peter - and you think so too... no?
My advice: Try not to BS them.
in the city. as the day.
a nother way.

The $250 million YouTuber branding economy
"LOS ANGELES—Oliver Luckett is a matchmaker. He puts young online stars together with brands, helping them tap into the growing online audience. At a time when video growth is booming online—both YouTube and Facebook say they are pushing out billions of video views daily—it’s a natural that brands like Target, Sony, Nickelodeon and Ford have turned to folks like Luckett to help them reach that elusive young viewer.
He works with 6,000 “influencers,” folks with a large social media following or engaged fan bases, to hire them directly to talk up the brand to their audience. What they don't do is a traditional sell, like we've seen on television for 75-plus years.
When working with marketers, theAudience has its clients create video ads, mentions in tweets and Instagram photos, casually put product placement in their videos or appear at company events on behalf of the sponsor.
Nickelodeon recently worked with theAudience to build awareness for the recent Kid’s Choice Awards, via social stars Christian Collins, Megan Nicole and Chloe Lukasiak. The result was coverage that “felt very organic and authentic to our fans,” says Nickelodeon chief marketing officer Pam Kaufman."

need to read and watch their video.. but my first reaction (even as i listen to auto play video).. is that video - as much as i love it.. has really dampened my online experience. ie: keeps me from reading articles... because auto play slows ability to read/scroll.
i realize i could fix settings .. but this shouldn't be the default.. right?
we are so attuned to shoulds and pushes .. coercion

"One question you can ask is how many people of a particular group have to be in a room for them to speak," Page said. That is, having a woman in a room doesn't affect a whole lot if she doesn't feel comfortable speaking up. And while he has found that the presence of just one member of a minority group in a room can positively influence the rest of the group to be more cognizant of their own language and behavior, that's different from actually hearing out that person's ideas.
