#RIOT CODE GRRRL MANIFESTO #####(based on the original RIOT GRRRL MANIFESTO)

BECAUSE us girls crave apps and games and websites that speak to US that WE feel included in and can understand in our own ways.

BECAUSE we wanna make it easier for girls to see/hear each other's work so that we can share strategies and criticize-applaud each other.

BECAUSE we must take over the means of production in order to create our own revolution.

BECAUSE viewing our work as being connected to our girlfriends-politics-real lives is essential if we are gonna figure out how we are doing impacts, reflects, perpetuates, or DISRUPTS the status quo.

Design Hacking — Mi chapa del UX Spain 2015

Hola, mundo

Soy Ale Muñoz. Nací en Sevilla, aunque ahora vivo con mi mujer y mi hija en Madrid, donde trabajo para una empresa holandesa, con un equipo repartido por toda Europa, haciendo software que se usa en todos los rincones del mundo.

Me gusta diseñar, cocinar, y sentarme plácidamente a poner la mente en blanco sin hacer absolutamente nada.

Llevo muchos años ayudando a diseñadores y diseñadoras a trabajar menos, fabricando herramientas para automatizar tareas, definiendo procesos de trabajo, o gestionando proyectos de diseño. Si alguna vez habéis trabajado conmigo es posible que os haya contado algún truco para hacer algo más rápido

OK. So I wrote some article about predictive policing. And it had lots of links, and it turns out sometimes editors see your links and are like ¯_(ツ)_/¯ to keeping those links when they publish the article. This is probably in part my own fault because I should have included those links as footnotes, and because working in print vs working online is Different, etc etc--the point is I feel really rotten that lots of really good reporting wasn't given due credit. Putting this list together does not totally fix it but will hopefully help people interested in the topic.

Also: there is a part at the end of this gist that explains my mixed feelings about the piece in general. The citations are probably more important, but if you want to watch me tableflip a little scroll down.

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?

Projects I did in 2014

This year I was a little less prolific than last year (40-ish projects compared to 75-ish projects). But for the most part I did fewer throwaway projects. Oh also one of my 2014 projects is a book I wrote that was a year-long project that took up a lot of my free time in 2014. Also not on this list are some talks that I gave and all that kind of stuff, most notably my How I Won the Lottery talk from XOXO 2014.

Anyway here is the list of things I made:

Clicker Maker. Generating endless "Cookie Clicker" style games.
Farewell Letter Generator. Say goodbye to your coworkers in style.
Corpora. A collection of small corpuses of
