As of today, I’m embarking on a challenging new journey: the creation of a platform for digital content curators & serendipitists. LINXPY is the culmination of decades of exploration, thought-provoking discussions, and behind-the-scenes experimentation. linxpy.com/

“Maybe we’re due for an information architecture renaissance” ~ vickyteinaki.com/blog/a-plea… HT Jacqui Olkin

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice! Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity." @Pergament_F @normaegraham1 @fugitiveink @AliceB01973554 @robert_lyman @prof_warfield @GilesMacDonogh @GilesMilton1 @guywalters @ABRGLL @April_1970s @LL_running_girl

Feeling lucky with this great week ahead: Supporting, coaching and guiding DataSci & InfoSys (international) master students in multiple humanity-entered design workshops AND attending the 2023 edition of my favourite international IA and UX conference: #EuroIA in Amsterdam.

"Some people may not believe this because the #UX world is now 3,000 times bigger than when I started 40 years ago. (Not 3,000% bigger, but bigger by a factor of 3,000, growing from about 1,000 UX professionals worldwide to almost 3 million.)" uxtigers.com/post/ux-angst
