Chronologically

1. Happy World Emoji Day

   Happy World Emoji Day… oh wait because the date on the calendar emoji is 17th July… HA! 😀🌍📆

2. I deleted my Facebook account

   I finally reached a milestone of Big Tech Exorcism™ today. Reading about Fuckerberg’s gigawatt effort to accelerate climate collapse gave me the final shove to delete my Facebook account. This house is clean!

   

3. I really enjoyed reading Eric’s musings on the topic of quality.

4. The Ballad of Wallis Island

   🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍀 Five bags of popcorn and a four leaf clover to remind ourselves to make the most of what we have when we’re lucky enough to have it.

5. Jason Mesut on Shaping Design, Giving Back, and Being an Ex-DJ

   In this very first episode of the UX Fika podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Jason Mesut – a creative coach, a strategic consultant, a community connector, and a shaper of designers.

6. Cennydd Bowles on Prototyping the Future, Ethics in Design, and Lessons from Chess

   In this episode of the UX Fika podcast, I talk to Cennydd Bowles, technology ethicist, author of Future Ethics, and recently a Fulbright Scholar. Cennydd advises companies like Google, Mozilla, and the BBC on how to build more responsible, ethical, and inclusive technologies – and in this conversation, which just like the rest of season 1 is from 2021, we unpack how and why that work is more urgent than ever.

7. Cynefin at 21 with Dave Snowden

   In this episode Being Human, we have a return visit of one of our most popular guests, Dave Snowden. Dave is by far my favourite Welsh National Treasure. He’s a philosopher-cum-management thinker and developer of the Cynefin framework, a decision making framework that has transformed the way people work and think from the military generals to software developers to humble business coaches like me.

8. Pushed over The Edge

   Spare a thought for those living in a multiverse where every piece of memory storage device comes pre-installed with a copy of U2’s album ‘Songs of Innocence’.

9. Cycles: 20250422-20250615

   Cycles: my new, no-pressure weeknotes. June zoomed.

10. Still glowing after Content Rising

    I’m still glowing after a day of inspirational talks about the power of storytelling to address climate action. It was a wonderful day reconnecting with a cause I feel passionate about and refilling my cup with hope and energy. Thank you Tamsin, Charlie and all the speakers and attendees.
