Marissa Mayer on the "Google tested 50 different shades of blue" story at #uist2022:

Google Search and Gmail were using two different shades of blue: Google Search a royal blue and Gmail's being a more aqua blue. Larry+Sergey hated the inconsistency and told the two orgs to pick one. But Search and Gmail were at loggerheads. So Marissa suggested that they just test them both, as well all the hex codes in between, to decide.

It was a political move, not a design one.

Gah, I did not know that Ted Chiang was the keynote speaker for #uist2022!! That is so cool 🤩

Apparently people are asking - so yes, I am looking for PhD students for this year at UW CSE! Probably not more than 1 or 2 people since our lab has grown but I'm always interested in folks who are excited by the idea of designing and building new kinds of social computing systems! Especially in this day and age *gestures around*, there's SO MUCH to do! Learn more about our lab at https://social.cs.washington.edu/

👉 This week at #UIST2022, we demonstrated our new technique for interacting with visualization overlays via continuous hand tracking in live webcam video, which got an honorable mention award for best paper. 🎖

our new #uist2022 paper on DiffScriber -- a system that enables blind and sighted presentation authors to more easily work together when iterating on slides by describing visual changes from one iteration to the next, w/ @yihaopeng @jsonwu Amy Pavel

feeling some fomo already about #uist2022, especially because Gierad is doing my fav drive from the bay to bend via Lassen (my fav national park!)… but, had 10 wonderful days in Greece for #assets2022, see y'all on Mastadon :) … say hi to @yihaopeng and @jsonwu if you're at UIST!

Feeling some FOMO about missing #UIST2022 especially since it's somewhat nearby in Oregon. But then I see the weather forecast 🥶
