Three series in and I’ve just realised that Charlie in The Morning Show is also Josef in Creep picard-facepalm.gif

waiting for the "internet connection person" to come to the house today … looking forward to that sweet, sweet 6–9Mbps download speed. 😭

Overnight, the Online Safety Act has claimed its first victim. Imgur.com is no longer serving for UK based users. This means millions of embedded images on community forums and social networks like Reddit don't resolve for UK users anymore. A VPN is required to use these bits of the internet now.

after two weeks of standing / pivoting on a stool at my desk I’ve given up and ordered a new office chair.

the old house and garden … done.

Who ya’ gonna call?

If only they said “Imagine a single card for your Tesco club card, your boots points, your blockbuster membership, your 10th free coffee card, your passport, your driving licence, your NI number” It’d get less pushback.

the slow cooker is on.

Yes! Get in!

dagnabbit, ‘twas in London last weekend too. It’s only on for another week theartsshelf.com/2025/07/22/b...

these friends have made it to the home office.

who's got a handy read something on the internet (soti) > save it > pull it into an 11ty page > publish page to the world workflow (before I start posting all the interesting links I've found this week)

Brit Card … more like Shit Card, amirite.

I think I've finally found a use for the <picture> element.

All about the Mindful Design course. Will it make you good at design? Will it make you a better developer? Will we cover AI? Am I your real dad? Find out all that, and more… youtu.be/kRhI-gNII_c?...

a mid-century lounge chair would really tie my office space together.

I am curious about how you treat cursor: pointer in your work: 1. Anything interactive gets cursor: pointer 2. Only use cursor:pointer for hyperlinks or link-like behaviours 3. Something else entirely Seen a bunch of different approaches across the web. What we thinking lads?

Hello you! I'm nearing the end of my current contract so I'm looking to start the next adventure soon (mid-October onwards). Could it be working with you? Do you need a solid front-end developer or a Design Systems specialist? Let's chat! [email protected] 🙏🖤

I’ve made a free template for component variants and it’s now up in the Penpot Hub. Import the file to see how simple and complex components can utilise variants (including using design tokens!) penpot.app/penpothub/li... #Penpot #OpenSource

it's 2025 …

We have a launch date for JavaScript for Everyone. October 14th! We're biased, of course, but let us tell ya, this is a *good* course and we can't wait for you to see it. piccalil.li/javascript-f...

I've talked to many teams struggling with #CSS – still, after trying the branded answers: utilities! obscure-naming_conventions! frameworks! You don't need all that. Learn to work with the language. Need help? Schedule a call, or bring me in to tailor a plan: oddbird.dev/services/arc...

of course I've managed to find the only squeaky floorboard in the house being directly where I stand at my desk.

how do you know it's a Nine Inch Nails track? that hi-hat.

I'm assuming it's the open figma tab that is crashing Chrome Canary if left unattended for a short period of time

If you speak Dutch and English and are in NL, my friend and collaborator Roderick Gadellaa's company is hiring a senior frontend engineer. Honestly this sounds like an incredible gig: decorrespondent.homerun.co/senior-front...

as we moved house I decided to stick my “ergonomic” (more hassle and heavy than it was worth) office chair in the local auction. Happy to say, first day in the new home office I enjoyed boogie’ing along to some music as I worked on standing desk stool. Four years after buying a standing desk 🤣

What's this … another movie (has a proper) website, are they back‽ This one is for the upcoming Shelby Oaks … whathappenedtorileybrennan.com but if you go to this other site ... whathappenedtorileybrennan.com/n01r you'll need this password. lookingforpara7

was pinging around ideas on various ways of how to explain intrinsic web design "trust the flow" put it on a t-shirt!

finding myself referring to this old gold from Nathan Ford alistapart.com/article/cont... 7s, it was about the 7s.

Gonna do a lil Q&A video about the course. If you're wondering what the fuck it's all about and have some specific questions, ask away, and I will answer them in front of a camera in a transparent attempt to market the course at people who have not yet bought the course.

went “all in” at Blacklock (city) last night. The chops did not disappoint 🤤 theblacklock.com/restaurants/...

@benbrignell.com I am wearing a red carnation

So many flags #AzerbaijanGP

Off to the city of London to catch up with some friends from the states, and a day (or half day) at the F1 arcade tomorrow to watch the race.

I found another window with more tabs to share … another day.

It's Friday, time for another round of 'clearing of the open tabs'

With Mindful Design, you’re not only going to really learn how the brain works and how to design an equitable, genuinely helpful experience for users. You’re also going to learn how to apply that by learning practical, transferable design skills that will elevate your work beyond recognition.

I may not win any awards but I’ve got this lovely little box of swag from the fine folks @zerheight 🙏🖤

trying to export 6 SVGs from figma (each with different gradients) and getting (essentially) the same SVG.

the same component, across three different browsers engines … three different heights, three different vertical alignments, three different sizes of spacing. make it make sense.

#a11y friends… has anyone had any pushback on the 'reel component' (from Every Layout, for example) where it 'fails': 1.4.10 Reflow (Level AA) – Content must adapt to screen size without loss of functionality every-layout.dev/layouts/reel/ or, similar cu.harrycresswell.com/compositions...

does Netlify's customer support for account suspension work or no.

whoop! Finally sorted an internet connection for the new house … between 6 and 9 mbps deep folly (open reach are due to install fibre at some point (hopefully soon)).

I got one! #OnlyConnect
