The Inimitable Tiff

The online adventures of Tiff Fehr (@tiffehr), a UX engineerette at The New York Times. Feel free to peruse my somewhat popular geek-themed Tumblr, too, if that's your thing.

More personally than the above or below, I document notable adventures (much later than when they actually happen): Oktoberfest '04, Guatemala '08, Europe '10, Wisconsin '10, Middle East '11*. (* in progress)

Oh, THAT Kind of Video

The other day I was getting a haircut. Making small talk (it was a $15 haircut) she asks…

Barber: So are you going back to work after this?

Me: Sort of. I work from home.

Barber: Oh, that’s cool. What do you do?

Me: Me and my wife make videos, in our basement. Well, I should say that we get paid to make videos.

Barber: <interested look>

Me: We have a little studio at home and we make short videos for businesses.

Barber: Oh, THAT kind of videos. I hear ya.<knowing nod of subversive respect>

Me: No, no, no. Not THAT kind I swear. Our videos are instructional.

Barber: <raises eyebrows>

Me: I mean, our videos explain complex ideas in a simple way, using a whiteboard and paper.

Barber: <clearly less interested by the lack of perversion> Oh. So what are we doing with your hair today?
