Best practices serve a purpose. Building sites in a standard way presents users with a format they're familiar with and lets them know what to expect. However, after decades of being an exploratory wilderness -- where you'd never know what you'd find traveling from link to link -- the Internet has settled into a comfortable homogeneity. The increase in ease of use has come at the cost of excitement, curiosity, and delight. Let's see what we can do to shake things up. I'll be talking about: - What it means to be avant-garde in regards to the web - How the mental models users have of the internet are formed, and thus can be explored and changed - When is the right time to try something unusual - Why you still need to make sites accessible even when you're building outside the box - Where to find inspiration for weirder web patterns]]>

0 Croptops in Boardrooms: Viewing youth, expression, and achievement through gender /slideshow/croptops-in-boardrooms-viewing-youth-expression-and-achievement-through-gender/52405708 chelseamaxwellcroptops-150904015934-lva1-app6891
The image of the boy genius in his hoodie is iconic in tech. But what does the girl genius wear? Youth is worshiped in this field, but being very smart and very young as a women in technology is much different than being a young, successful man. I’ll start by examining the different appearance expectations of young men and women in technology, including how women are penalized for not fitting a narrow mold (or: Is no makeup or too much makeup going to make people stare more?). Next, I’ll move into how the media representation (and perpetuation) of the Tech Boy Genius trope establishes a cultural touchstone, while the female equivalent is far, far rarer. Finally, we’ll look at how this cultural trope lets employers, recruiters, and investors safely view youth as a positive trait in men, while being more apprehensive about it in women (or: a list of people who’ve told you to pay your dues).]]>

A lot of what we know about user experience comes from the fields of cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience. However, often this information ends up coming over as pop psychology, instead of through actual research. Here I discuss 5 myths that I've heard a lot in the UX community, and how they stand up to science.]]>
