#JamesOwenDesign20 My #Nixon Rotolog that I shared earlier today. The first time I met Ratio founder Mark Hellweg in 2012 I was wearing this watch and we immediately vibed over it as he had one too! It was a symbol of quality design and materials which would ultimately become a hallmark of Ratio.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

With about 10 years of corporate and consulting experience under my belt I thought I was more than ready to start my own design consulting business 20 years ago. I learned new skills and raised my game at each new job and from each new employer that I had worked for up to 2006.

This is an excellent and innovative idea. www.designboom.com/technology/w...

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

turns out the guy was a Syrian immigrant named Ahmed al Ahmed who got his Australian citizenship in 2022 www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

my elderly mother-in-law is starting to have trouble with her iPhone; more specifically the UI/UX. It goes well beyond turning down transparency. Changes in where buttons, search boxes are placed, in addition to certain “automatic sorting” becomes disorienting especially when fonts are made bigger.
