Digital Media: Things That Have Let Me Down

Annik and Kahlee inspired me to do this.  We fail and we learn. We need to learn to fail fast. Stop touting all your successes and show me your failures. Show me what you learnt. We always have top 10 lists.

Show me the sixty-shitty lists.

Comment & Add yours.

19. Telstra: Your enormous (10ft?) protype phone in the hall on level 4 to demonstrate UX — how much did that cost you?
