Found out a good family friend passed away yesterday - I’m hoping she has found some peace.
I’m laying on my couch because my back is hurting. I find myself kinda wanting an iPad. #targetaudience
My MacBook pro is spending the night at the apple store to get a new optical drive. I’m computerless for a day!

I’ve heard it so many times: “I can’t sketch a stick-figure to save my life.”
Some people are afraid of showing their drawing to others. They think they’ll be ridiculed if their sketch looks like it was drawn by a five-year old.
In truth, it doesn’t matter if you are good at sketching. The less formal the sketch, the better. In fact, avoid the urge to use a pencil as it leaves...
#uxcampdc - so what’s the deal? No powerpoint or is it allowed? The rules are conflicting btw the main site and the registration page.
