  1. How Designers Can Get More Comfortable with Data | “One day soon, a client with a core product that relies on innovative AI software will come knocking on your studio door. Or you may be brought in on the ground floor of an early-stage start-up that believes it has killer data. Maybe you will join a mature start-up that is seeking to extract more nuance and value from their large amount of existing data. Or you might work with a behemoth that needs to leverage data to rediscover a competitive edge. Whatever the circumstances, they will need your help in figuring out how users can interact with their data in a meaningful way. How do you determine what’s just noise versus what’s essential, what to work on and get out the door first?”
  2. HOW TO MAKE A ONE-PAGE ZINE | “Many people believe print is dead.

This is a quick guide on how to make a zine with one sheet of 8.5 by 11 paper.”
  3. Design Thinking vs. Visual Thinking | “Now, most people who work in business strategy, innovation, or problem-solving can tell you that design thinking and visual thinking are not the same, but not everyone can easily articulate the difference.”

The priceless artifact is under glass, kept safe by alarms, and watched by security guards. Last year, it was stolen. But there was no daring heist, no Mission Impossible-esque dangling from the ceiling — the bust never moved from its place in the museum.”

The surprising results suggest that going hard may not be the best option for long-term brain health.”
  9. The macabre truth of gun control in the US is that toddlers kill more people than terrorists do | “Last week, a Florida gun rights activist was shot in the back by her four-year-old son. How much longer will we keep participating in the collective lie that deadly weapons keep us safe?”
