When I see the terms 'transparency' or 'decentralized' on someone's website describing what they do, the first thing that comes to mind is how brainwashed everyone that works there must be by marketing smokescreens.
The iTunes Music Store launched on this day 21 years ago.
Who knew so many services businesses would be born for Apple on this day?
Happy birthday iTunes Music Store.
I’m the most delusional designer in the world & will make sure all of your delusional ideas about disrupting new markets & democratizing legacy industries are delusional ideas that are worth investing in because you know how to execute well w/design.
There’s no nice way to tell someone who simply isn’t very good at what they do that they’ve chosen the wrong career and that there is something else they were designed to do while they are still here on this planet.
Really excited to announce a new initiative of roses/foundation:
Design your delusions.
We design today's delusional ideas into tomorrow's indispensable reality.
Don't give up, we're here to help.
When you are committed to a timeless way of building and surrounded by others who are doing the same, there is no such thing as work/life balance.
Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life.
Pick your battles wisely.
There is no such thing as work/life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life.
One of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced is to have earned the trust of someone who considered me family and coveted my leadership, whose opinion mattered to me more than any other, only to lose that person to cancer.
If I were to die tomorrow, what would you wish you had asked me today about building Steve Jobs’ favorite design team?
If you try to do something about it, we’ll up the dosage or have you hospitalized.
The ability to support artists by buying their music online will outlive music streaming as the more important invention that took place during our lifetime.

Data/driven designers understand that everything is a news ecosystem for someone else’s data.
Experience designers (in most societies) are people who hold wrong beliefs, for believing that the experiences people are having in life can be improved upon.
…until I took the time to start writing about my leadership role between 1999 - 2005.
I never experienced the phenomenon of coming in contact with so many people working so hard to invalidate, debunk and guarantee that there would be no public takeaways from my learnings on the Apple Design Team…
This is why people who work in product design have so many mental health problems: because nobody says ‘thanks’ for things that just work the way you expect them to.
Don't be fooled, #web3 is not filled with people who understand or care about the craft of web application development. It's filled with people who want the DOJ to be able to tell Apple that logging into a service should start with your wallet so they can steal from you instead of Signing in privately using your Apple ID so you can keep your consumer protection.
The rush to rebrand the web to web3 was an underhanded effort by the crypto community who needed to rebrand their marketing efforts because of how shady crypto marketing tactics were but in the process of rebranding their efforts they took the focus away from the importance of things like use cases, scenario development and web application performance.
So one of the reasons my head is kind of big and I'm not a huge fan of all of the lemmings following around the #web3 trend is because I was responsible for pioneering the early web (2.0) from a static environment into an application like environment. Web 2.0 was the introduction of applications to a web that was static.
