The little ones. The thoughts and comments which are low friction and created in a heartbeat as they occur.

“But the angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Yeshua, who was executed on the stake. He is not here, because he has been raised — just as he said! Come and look at the place where he lay.”

In my work I have to generate a lot of fake data to populate designs, most of the time these have to look like real schools with student data that’s realistic. I used to use Harry Potter characters, but I’ve started to build my own fictional school with houses and key characters. It’s quite fun.

Today’s coffee is the last dose of an experimental lot from Colombia. It’s co-fermented with peach and smells amazing. ☕️

I really hate Outlook. It’s such a cludgy application, nothing quite works properly and what should be easy (adding a calendar of UK holiday dates) is down right impossible to find.

This article about The design game has changed and I don’t know where I fit anymore has resonated with me more than I expected it too.

Design isn’t just about designing anymore. It’s about playing the online game, building an audience, and becoming a content machine. It feels less about the work and more about marketing yourself.

This is the aspect I’ve always struggled with. There’s always been an element of this, but in recent years it seems to have grown more and more important. Ultimately I want to create things that help people, don’t have loads of corporate tape around them, and are fun to use.

My hay fever seems to be hitting particularly hard this year. My eyes are so gritty and heavy, it’s been a long time since it’s had this effect on me.

I’ve been reading Getting Things Done recently, considering that I’ve been aware of the system for 20 years this is the first time I’ve read the book. I wish I’d read it sooner rather than just relying on acquired knowledge from various blogs.

I’m starting to come to the conclusion that what I really want is a Mac in an iPad form factor. Or smush the two together so I have the best of both worlds.
