Ladies and gentlemen, at long last, I finally get to share with you one of my biggest projects to date. I can finally announce that, for the past 2 years, I have been working on total blind accessibility for Forza Motorsport. This has been an epic journey.
Today was a double barreled lesson in humility. I left my glasses at home which means 1) I'm essentially useless at work, and 2) I now realize my eyes are more bags and wrinkles than eyes. This whole "age is just a number" thing is BS.

Can. Not. Wait. More love for support heroes! Congrats to Adam and the research team.
We've been working hard with OW's hero Design Team to make our research tailor-made to their needs. Lifeweaver is the second Hero we've been able to inject with user feedback (Kiriko was our first); great to see where the Team landed with him!

This weekend I read Cal Newport's "A World Without Email."
Here's what I learned.
Go work with John. Besides being good at what he does, he could decide tomorrow to be a user research leader and do it better than most of us. That's rare to find.
