I just updated IA Presenter; it's so nice to see and read the demo presentations.

This really stands out:
"every time you speak, you need to have something to say."

The focus of better presentation not better software. Nice work @reichenstein

Do you know what annoys me? Designers using text that's not quite black. If it's almost black, make it black, please. It just makes everyone's life easier.

ShopPay has a neat little thing to send you a code to prefill your details.

But I just spent 10 mins looking for the code in my email account only to realise they sent it as SMS.

Would you:
Move house
Get married
Run a marathon
Start a new job
Have a baby
Get a puppy
Write a book
Study for a PhD
All at the same time?

If not, why would you expect wholesale organisational change to succeed?

Start small, make it work, then do the next thing.
