]]> Don Norman: The Design of Everyday Things https://www.musings.ch/2022/05/22/don-norman-the-design-of-everyday-things/ Sun, 22 May 2022 10:00:23 +0000 https://www.musings.ch/?p=1012 Another one of those books I had on my kindle for… forever. I started it once, but seemingly got distracted, which had me start from the beginning again.

Great book, well written, lots of fun examples, and good coverage of fundamentals. Recommended.

]]> on equity https://www.musings.ch/2020/06/11/on-equity/ Thu, 11 Jun 2020 06:46:18 +0000 https://www.musings.ch/?p=583 Continue reading on equity]]> The one thing I miss in all those conversations around equity: To provide equity, you have to shed some of your privileges. Actively give power. It’s tougher, it requires more than just listening, it requires action.

It is, however, the only way to bring true equity.

(and if you feel you’re the most tolerant, inclusive individual already, it’s even more important that you actively take part in the redistribution of power and privileges – don’t think individuals from suppressed demographics have to do the heavy lifting)
