A Designer’s Introduction to Lean Startup

Posted: April 7th, 2013 | Filed under: Lean, UX, Video | No Comments »

Earlier this year, I gave a 10-minute talk at Interaction ’13 to introduce designers, specifically interaction designers, to the key concepts behind Lean Startup. The conference organizers recently posted the video from the session, so I’m sharing it with you here.

My Talk From Ignite Lean Startup: Replacing Requirements with Hypotheses

Posted: December 13th, 2011 | Filed under: UX, Video | 1 Comment »

Here is a video of my 5-minute Ignite talk, delivered last month at Ignite: Lean Startup II.

Thanks to the event organizers, especially Ryan MacCarrigan and the NYC Lean Startup Meetup for having me and for hosting such a great event.

And by the way,  if you’ve never been to an Ignite event, you should go. The format is a blast–5 minutes, 20 slides, slides advance automatically every 15 seconds. Lots of nerve-wracking fun. And at Ryan’s events anyway, lots of booze to lubricate the crowd.

I just found this set of images from the winter of 2008-2009. Snowy nights have become so rare in NY. It’s special now when we get a night like this one.

Remembering Bo

I was sad to hear yesterday that Bo died. Bo, the wonderful cocker-pit who belonged to my friend Jamie was one of a kind.

On Memorial Day weekend in 2006 (I think), we met Jamie and his future wife Anja at a Friendly’s near Turner’s Falls Mass. As Bo sat outside, we watched everyone walk past our window and check her out. Here’s a video of the procession.
