Find it really weird when you’re in a restaurant and they ask you if you have any allergies, to which you reply “yes” and list them. Then they say, “they’re not on my allergy list” and shrug, then go away, as if that means they don’t exist and nothing can be done 🤨

Let's make AI jealous. Write what Al can't touch. Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies. Try moving your hands. It's fine if your mind remains a jumble. Ideas scattered across the paper. Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

Me and @jess.darn.es have infiltrated London for her birthday 🕵️‍♀️ The coffee shops never saw it coming 😈

He ain’t wrong…😑🧀🍞

i always enjoy a sensible chuckle at the sight gag of the peasant round being $5.80

Said tune (“Totem” by Tycho) youtu.be/WO8Jhxupwr4?...

Something that I do love about working from home is the ability to do an impromptu dance to an absolute TUNE while writing ✍🏻🎵🎧🪩 and no-one but your intrigued (and slightly concerned) husband is there to judge 😅

This week’s mantra I love from a PT friend: “I don’t want to look pretty, I want to look vaguely threatening…” 💪🏻💋🏋🏻‍♀️

It’s weird, but I found working on a plane - in a crowded middle seat - of all places a really good place to work 😅🤨 there are no distractions (for my brain, at least - there are tons all around). You can stick some noise cancelling headphones on and just plough on through…

just in case you’re curious what the scene is like RIGHT NOW at the war ravaged ICE building here in portland. chilling

Had such a good time at the #BristolCoffeeFestival with @jess.darn.es . Got to catch up with @studioromeo.co.uk, @daleanthony.com, @rhysjp.bsky.social, @robbowen.digital, @evadage.co.uk and @surma.dev. Pretty certain I'll be going again next year ☕️

☕️👀🙌🏻

It’s not just “can a screen reader access this screen?” It’s “can any user complete the full experience without needing adaptation or assistance?”

Love how this clip from Jon Richardson so succinctly sums up having an #AuDHD brain… www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxXI4...

Netflix's Adolescence highlights the danger of social media content on young people's minds. There needs to be an equivalent show highlighting the dangers of newspaper content on the minds of the elderly

Back on our BS at Costco 😅 (cc @daviddarnes)

657: David Darnes on Web Components and Design Systems David Darnes joins us to talk about his work on the Nord design system, writing web components, working with embeds and web components, thoughts on building a progress bar or notification component, keeping design systems and design tools in…

Our one year old said our older daughter’s name at dinner earlier. We were all like 🫨

Love it when Siri plays ‘Louise Essentials’ for me when the littles want to listen to Bluey 👍🏻 you’d think it’d learn with the frequency of things you search for. Same with Maps - it should look at your locality and your previous search history, surely 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thermos of coffee for me & @jess.darn.es while the girls sleep in the car 💅🏻☕️

Sunshine and coffee making me feel very happy and quite hyper this afternoon! Here for sunnier days after all this awful British gloom.

If you’re in Bristol (UK) and need any coffee/bakery/food recommendations, HMU! We’re spoilt for choice for many options here, but there are some that are top notch and I’m willing to share 😉

The level of geekiness in this household is overwhelming at times 😅

My #DesignEngineer article has gotten way more attention than I was expecting. Thanks to those who have checked it out, and especially to those who chipped in their two cents on the matter

We consider user testing to be an integral part of our project build process, as it assists in gaining valuable feedback from real users. It allows us to pivot and make changes prior to going live and is an invaluable technique that saves us time and budget. theideabureau.co/resources/th...

People struggling to pay energy bills whilst companies make record profits. Sewage in our waters whilst water company CEOs & shareholders make billions. People skipping meals whilst Labour Government refuse wealth taxes or to invest in our country. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Keep getting the emergency signal noise on our phones due to the storm on the way. It’s freaking me out! My neurodivergent brain is thinking “this is the sound it makes just before the bad shit goes down in disaster movies.” Keep expecting the worst any minute 😰😅

Breaking stupid rules that others give to you makes you feel alive and reminds you that you have autonomy over your own life and I 1000% recommend doing it on a regular basis

If anyone has any suggestions of web-based writing solutions (e.g. like Google Docs, but not like the trash heap that it’s become!), I’d love to hear them. Tried Scrivener for fiction writing, which is lovely, but no cloud-based options, which sucks. More just for document/blog post writing.

We’ve been to Costco

When working with clients, they sometimes approach us without having defined exactly what they’d like to achieve when working together. The best way to do so is to write a brief that shares details of your goals. theideabureau.co/resources/ho...

Hey 👋 My name is, my name is, my name is...Slim Shay...Nah actually it's just Rob, sorry to ruin that party I'm unknown but if you're curious I currently reside in the #Frontend using #WebComponents in #Angular. My side hustles are #Coffee, #Bikes, #Hikes, #Gaming and #Plants

It's good to have fun side projects to do with friends, even just to hang out and chat. Myself and @rknight.me finally got round to recording season 2 of our Fast & Furious #podcast, "We Got Family". First episode is up and it's Fast Five:

u ever restart a song half way through because u realised u didn’t listen hard enough

Good morning. The agency I worked at where I did most of my React Native work has all but completely disappeared. The only way to keep your body of work alive is to have your own website 👍🏻

Very pleased and a little nervous to announce that I got to write a bumper post for CSS-tricks! css-tricks.com/come-to-the-... #CSS #darkMode #lightMode #contrast #accessibility

🚀 Good morning, everyone. I made a game called Mundango, it's about noticing the small things in life. mundango.daverupert.com

Hey you, yes you, I've got a question for you… What the f••k is a Design System? designsystems.wtf

Anyone for some ‘Street Cheese’? 🧀
