Mobile Trends at Mobile Twin Cities

This week it was awesome to speak at Mobile Twin Cities on the topic of “Mobile Trends.”

We mixed up the format a bit. I presented trend information and examples on the topics of Mobile Adoption, Technology Innovation, IoT and Smarthomes, Algorithms and Culture, and Privacy, Ethics and Safety.

At the end of each section, three super smart developers from Buzzfeed — Paul Marino, Sebastian Celis, and Dan Tann — talked about their insights and implications of developing for these platforms.

We had a fantastic conversation and involved everyone in the room. We could have talked all night!

Big thanks to Buzzfeed General Manager Phil Wilson for his stellar organization and insight in pulling together this panel!

You can get notified about upcoming Mobile Twin Cities events by joining their Meetup group. Highly recommended!!

And you’re interested in chatting about this subject and looking through the research I’ve pulled together, hit me up!

My pants are on BuzzFeed

Backstory: My kids had a snow day from school and I said “let’s make something go viral!” And we did! 

Those pants got picked up by BuzzFeed, IFL Science, BoredPanda, Distractify, Someecards, 22 Words, the front page of Imgur, and news pubs in Canada, Ireland, India, Spain, Japan, and Serbia!! 

Two kids think it’s hilarious. One is embarrassed 😂



Here’s the original!

I was last highighted in BuzzFeed for a tweet I made about Taylor Swift in 2007 that aged pretty well after 10 years!

What People Said About Taylor Swift 10 Years Ago Is Making Me Laugh

This is all pretty sad. Lol.
