“Our brains evolved to assess trade-offs best in the face of immediate, physical needs and threats. Should I run from that predator? Absolutely. Unfortunately, we still have these same brains. That’s why the camel crickets in my crawl space make me flip my shit, but giving my kids’ data to Disney World feels perfectly acceptable.”

How I Spent My Time

I completed the alpha prototype which is a milestone. I can now begin user testing in earnest.

The live prototype can be viewed via the prototype page. Similarly, video walkthroughs of the prototype are now available for each scenario via their respective page in the scenarios section.

What’s Working

Backing off on the fidelity of the alpha prototype, specifically the content. I wish I would’ve been faster with a lower fidelity—more “impressionistic”—throughout the production of the alpha. Hopefully, the attention to content details will save me time in the final prototype.

What’s Not Working

Adding unplanned scenarios isn’t helping the timeline. I’m now ~3 weeks behind where I wanted to be.

Substantial Changes

Added a new scenario to the prototype.
