Intense two weeks- UX Conversion Camp, Manchester next Thursday.

Day 2 for me, day 3 for the conference (I nearly called it a festival then) and I was fully switched into learning mode. After the afore mentioned 'Full English' breakfast (sans black pudding) I used the UX chair lift…

I was having a bit of a special dada and daughter moment with Annie. Just her and I were snuggled up on my bed. I had a camera within reach, so I grabbed in and took a few close up snaps - nothing special or new. I…
Oldest trick in the comic bookI fell for one of the classic marketing ploys today. Free stuff. More precisely, the ol' "bread at the back of the store" technique. An old friend was running the show at Destination Venus today - Harrogate's graphic…
