Tried my hand at an Austin Kleon style collage in between Teams calls this morning. Quite fun. 🎨

So engrossed in my book I dropped coffee on the page 📚

One of the best uses for the HomePod mini on my desk… making hands free phone calls especially when I know I will be on hold.

I’ve always tried to have a style guide page somewhere on my own websites, but this one takes it to another level. Excellent stuff.

This. RSS is not a notification system, it’s a delivery system.

New coffee from Plot coffee roasters. ☕️

Such a shame what happened to the brand design of the fashion world.

Fascinating read about the redesign of Wikipedia and the role that prototypes played in it.

The irony of Chat GTP asking me to verify I’m a human 😂

Finished reading: Foundation & Empire by Isaac Asimov 📚

My iPhone has taken to having phantom touches and doing things by itself. It appears it might be time to replace my XS…

Exploring the IBM Design Language is really rather beautiful…

I’m just gonna get this off my chest here.

I don’t think VR is the next big thing and I don’t think it will be the success everyone seems to be saying it will be.

Found myself installing Evernote to play with again yesterday. The one thing I’ve always liked about it is how easy it is to get stuff into.

Decided to carry out an experiment. One todo app for work and a different one for my personal stuff. Todoist for work as it integrates better with Microsoft 365 and Things for all my personal stuff. Let’s see how it goes.

Instruction from the doctor: Lose weight your cholesterol is too high. Nothing like a statement like that to make you feel worse about yourself.

A terrible thing has happened. I’ve run out of coffee beans and there’s no time to go buy some before my first meeting of the day…

Currently reading: The Innovators by Walter Isaacson 📚🎧

Absolutely love this. I’ll be saving this to return to many times. Go and read Lessons of Design.

May finally have got it working… sometimes it takes a vent post to make you reset and look for a different way.

No matter what I do, I can never get tags to work in Jekyll. I’ve followed so many tutorials to try and get tag pages to work, but the plugins never do.
