Hey Optimal Workshop – I don't know how long ago you made the update to the Optimal Sort Standardization tool (it's been a while), but I *love* it. So much easier to use! Thanks! #cardsort #IA #userresearch

In this podcast, Tamara Adlin explains her rule of “two weeks and two books.” If a job ad requires a UX-related skill she doesn’t have, she asks herself, “Could I learn this in two weeks by reading two books?” If the answer is yes, she applies. uxcake.co/single-post/Ne…

Jared Spool Yes! It’s all part of my dastardly plan to change the way we (especially women) think and react when we see something we think we can’t do.

Well this just seems churlish. Jerk.

Dig: @bramwessel and @sophiavux are teaching an Object Oriented UX + IA & Taxonomy workshop at SVC next week: eventbrite.com/e/object-orien…. This should be a great take on complex system design at scale.

Ever since I saw Andy Fitzgerald speak at IAC - Information Architecture Conference #IAC25 about content management, I knew I wanted to have a deeper IA conversation with him. If you're fascinated by the distinction between carbon-based and silicon-based beings, do not miss this interview!

Many CMSes offer only ad hoc (if any) support for standards-compliant taxonomy management. This seemed like a miss to me, so I created a SKOS-compliant taxonomy management plugin for my fav, Santiy.io: sanity.io/plugins/taxono… Feedback (& pull requests) welcome!

Getting excited for my panel with Andy Fitzgerald, Val Swisher & Jesiah McCann at Structured Content next week! You can still register (if you want to attend locally but can't swing the cost, hit me up). structuredcontent.live/program/improv…
