Griffin was rockin’ the changing room at REI. Jenn and I have really lucked out with an amazingly happy child. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Tales from Poor User Experiences
Here is a tale of poor user experience in two iPhone screenshots. I clicked “It’s Okay.” My first reaction was, “Well, fuck you! It’s not my fault you’re sorry!
