Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

I'm so tired of being expected to read things that no one has bothered to write.

I've wanted to make this for quite some time; a WebGPU sand simulator using compute shaders and persistent states (none of the messy WebGL texture workarounds). it turned out to be surprisingly solid (even if there *are* some funny limitations like sand sitting on water).

The best bit of #allDayHey was catching up with old friends But a close second was seeing my little pixel platformer come to life on the *massive* screen. My little in-game avatar was almost the same height as real me! A dream for live coding too - font-size: HUGE

Such an honour to speak at the last ever #AllDayHey. What a lovely collection of humans. Thanks to @joshnesbitt.dev and @philhawksworth.dev for closing this era out so beautifully. (and thanks to @joshtumath.uk for the nice photos, it was so fun to see my silly little game on such a big screen!)

Current AI custom prompt: Answer with complete detailed, specific answers. Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender, for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.

Brody aproooooooved 🐕 Hope you're all excited for your doggy biscuits. See you there!

Social feels so splintered and toxic nowadays so I'm excited to have a little corner of discord to hang out with the GSAP crew in! Community was pivotal for me while I was learning, shout out @codepen.io and @codebar.io. Hopefully this provides the support some other folks need.

I will continue to build awesome things with 11ty but I shan't be calling 11ty build awesome.

He takes specific song requests too. Evanescence - Bring Me To Life is his favourite. He's quite picky but loves a strong female vocal.

“If AI really is replacing software development with bot-slop and existential dread, somebody forgot to tell the web folks. State of the Browser 2026 was a celebration of code, craft, open standards, collaboration and transparency – and not a ralph loop in sight.” dylanbeattie.net/2026/02/28/s...

Feeling incredibly nourished and thankful after #SotB26. I needed that.

I haven't posted in a while. Largely due to AI fatigue, and friends splintering off to different social networks. But some folks at #SotB26 mentioned they miss Brody, and that just won't do.

Following @kitation.co.uk’s talk at #SotB26 today, we’ve decided that browsers need a “prefers-reduced-spiders“ setting.

As a [ grown adult working in tech ] I need my messaging app to [ obliterate the water supply of a small town ] so that I can [ chuckle about being an armadillo ]

So happy to have this out there. I've dreamt of a new home for the GSAP demos for so long. I can't wait to get cracking with some more uploads, framework collections and integrated tutorials for more complex techniques. 🤘

My man 💪

Smasher of a conference, as always! Thanks to everyone who made the last week so special. Live coding on stage is always nerve-racking, but I couldn't have asked for better audience! Also - hosting a workshop in a medieval throne room was a first. @smashingconf.com

"Mega Velocity!"

AI isn't "increasing efficiency" if other people end up having to parse, fact check and correct your work.

Interviewer: and how do you explain this gap in your resume? Me: (trying to explain my time trapped in the faerie realms but a geas prevents me from speaking of it, so I'm forced to just spout gibberish instead) I was growth-hacking my personal brand to leverage my core competencies

This industry gives me a headache sometimes.

Can't wait!

I need to rig up an actual spray bottle that nabs me when I look at slack after 10pm.

It's been a while since I've been to a meetup. Loving this. Found out about one too - "London Pattern Club was established with the aim of exploring algorithmic creative practices – such as creative coding, knitting and weaving – through affordable talks and workshops." patternclub.org/london

Cosy creative coding day with the C3S crew in Hackney. Vibes vibes vibes

Why waste time slurming your nebius soperators when you could be doing this instead.

I'm in. See you there 💚

Talking about seeing the good side of things: I just watched the latest @syntax.fm's episode with @cassiecodes.bsky.social from GSAP, I've been smiling for 57 minutes non stop as it just revived so many good feelings from my work at Bannerboy. This is what a great tool can do too.

Being a woman on the internet is so weird man. There's an debate on a youtube video I made about whether I'm - 1) Beautiful 2) Plastic?! ... Just a human trying to teach people and do her job? Sometimes I think Blindboy has it right, gonna wear a bag over my head and be done with it all.

I've spoken ill of apple's magic mouse in the past. But I think the only thing that's kept me from burnout over the last three weeks has been my mouse battery running out. I rescind my judgement. Human focused design.

Someone just messaged to ask me a question about GSAP licensing and finished the query with "PS: I think you are cute :) hehe sorry I had to say it." Cute? I'm not a puppy. I'm a 35 year old woman who you've contacted in a professional capacity. Bloody hell get a grip lads.

Good morning to all the browsers except Safari. 🫶

Abolish April Fool’s day. Society has moved past the need for April Fool’s day

I'm throwing another @smashingmag workshop this year. 💚 I've done SVG focused workshops in the past, but in this one we're going to be focused on UI and microinteractions. Motion principles, tips & tricks and tons of time to play! smashingconf.com/freiburg-202...

Me watching people post entire feature length movies that they have studio ghiblid with AI.

Are you liking Bluesky, but thinking “gee, I wish there was more shark science and conservation on my feed?” I have the solution to your problem right here! 🌎🧪🦑🐠🦈 go.bsky.app/Q1x1gJB

Fun little trip to Amsterdam! 💚

Work: 8 hours Sleeping: 8 hours Disassociating after looking at the news: 20 hours Can someone who's good with organisation help me with this? I can't seem to find the time.

Someone watched one of my GSAP videos and sent me such a nice heartfelt message about it that it made me cry. What a nice way to start the day.

OMG @cassiecodes.bsky.social! My gsap-video-export tool got a mention on the state of JS survey for 2024. 🥰 github.com/workeffortwa...

Huge new 2.0.0 update to gsap-video-export including: * Support for using it as an ESM module, so you can use it as part of a production pipeline. * An alternative method for advancing frames, allowing you to capture silky smooth animations outside of the GSAP timeline. github.com/workeffortwa...

Incredibly awkward day to have to email americans with work related things.

well fuck.

Can we still say cisgender over here?

I have tons to do today so if anyone needs me I will be here. Sitting at my desk. Doing nothing. Until 11pm when the panic kicks in.
