This Sept join us at Open UX for a REALLY exciting chat about #futuresdesign: designing in complex regulated environments + turning policy ideas into design, with Fionn Tynan O'Mahony 🙌 #uxdesign #uxui

At the ‘Retrofit, Obviously!’ conference today in London. The emergency briefing’s part around the economic opportunities was the most energising argument I’ve heard in a long time.

Read this thread if you're interested in land-use issues related to farming and solar photovoltaics.

Thread on solar vs. farmland debate: 1/n Enviro writer Bill McKibben: "“If you care about the future of agriculture on this planet,” he added, ​“you should be focused on driving down carbon emissions so we will still be able to grow things.”" www.canarymedia.com/.../lowell-v....

Hi clean energy friends. This October I'll be at... ** How can we use good technology to scale the green energy sector? ** ☀️🍃 It's free, it's hybrid online/in-London and has some great speakers (even if I say so myself!). Maybe see you there? #cleanenergy #communityenergy #tech

One more bump for Friday's great and FREE talk with Fionn! #designfutures, #uxdesign, #systemsdesign 🎯

Just a few weeks to go! Join us at our next design meetup to talk #designfutures, #uxdesign, #systemsdesign and more, with Studio AndThen's Fionn! 🧙🌞

Easily the tiniest, most rewarding change I’ve made to get off US tech is installing Vivaldi AND THEN updating my phone’s default browser settings. 🍎 I can’t yet bring myself to cut Chrome completely, but now random, unimportant links I click open in an ethical browser! 💙 vivaldi.com

Moving off Google part 2 (and a nice mental hump to get over): deleting all my files on Google Drive and uploading them to Proton ✅ Next stop, the emails 😬😬😬

Interesting! We get asked about Gantt charts for Nook - typically when a “case” is a potential project (eg when cases relate to assessing potential sites for solar generations). One to check out methinks!

Love the vibe of this keyboard #accessibility. Also, support your local library!! ✊

This has to be my new favourite argument to people who fret about taxing the hyper rich! 🥳

Since when did the iPhone Chrome app have sponsored ads in the Discover feed? Did I miss that?? 😱 11 ads in there since yesterday. What?

So… did you see that ludicrous display last night?

#civictech is ✊✊✊

Weaning myself off Google services…

Just wrapped up a very fun game of #CommunityEnergy Data Dilemmas! Thank you to all our adventurous #LondonDataWeek players. 🍌🎲🥳 I’m going to port this into a standalone game/workshop activity for anyone making tech products. Hit me up if you’re interested!

On Thursday I’m hosting THIS game-based workshop for London Data Week: Community Energy Data Dilemmas! 🥳😳 It’s sold out but if you’d like another chance to take part (maybe you work in this field / want an inspirational team activity) DM me. It’d be amazing to run it again. #communityenergy

Hello fellow Friday folk. Come join me at July’s #LondonDataWeek event: Community Energy Data Dilemmas! 🎉 Come for creative fun, doomsday scenarios and tech discussion aplenty! luma.com/lgswwidv #communityenergy #data #productdesign

It doesn’t make things better today. But #OmarElAkkad is one of the few people brave enough to talk sense about the current abhorrent world situation #Gaza Essential reading - searing account of how we have got here

At the Connected Places Summit today. Lots of talk about AI, SMEs and data infrastructure. Should be interesting!

Next week I’ll be chatting to awesome designer Fran Cook about what it means to be a freelance #ux designer PLUS what it’s like to start a collective / studio. Come hang with us on Thursday ☺️ #uxuidesign #uxdesign

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius: “There will be no military participation.. We have a situation which we did not provoke.. This war started without any consultations.. What does Trump expect from a handful of European frigates in Strait of Hormuz that the mighty US Navy can't manage alone?"

Excuse me for reposting this thread but, frankly, it took me a while to write and I quite like my little rant 🥸☺️ #genAI #AI #uxdesign

A really good thread! Thank you! I should use this with our clients 😅 🧵

My US Big Tech iPhone keeps trying to autocorrect “sociocracy” to “sociopath”. Figures 😅

I'm really rooting for this 👉 TechFreedom, a short course for social purpose orgs who want to understand their tech risks and DO SOMETHING about it. Importantly you leave with a plan for reducing your dependency on US Big Tech 🙌🙌🙌 techfreedom.eu via @dougbelshaw.com @tomcw.xyz #digitalsovereignty

Have you heard me banging on about tech sovereignty, adaptability, big tech and resiliency? About how your tech is an organisational cultural choice? If not, how? If you have...well, would you like some more? tomcw.xyz/why-we-creat...
