Hello Manchester! Looking forwards to speaking at Motion North tonight! See you there! www.motionnorth.uk https://www.motionnorth.uk/
Well poisoned, @heydon! ☺️https://heydonworks.com/article/poisoning-well/
Myself and Gary Hustwit are thrilled to learn Nothing Can Ever Be The Same — the real-time generative work based on the archive of Brian Eno which first premiered at the 2023 Venice Music Biennale has been shortlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize! Huge thanks to the jury for shortlisting our work.
@jasonsantamaria is back at blogging and I’m delighted to hear he decided to give @getkirby a try. 👏
Welcome back and have fun, Jason! 🤗

Shaz is great. Everyone hire Shaz. He also has impeccable dress sense too. Fact. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
I’m currently working on a project where the devs obviously had no idea about how to implement responsive images correctly. It’s a wild mix of faulty media, srcset, sizes, and size(?) attributes on img and source tags that really feels like guesswork. (This is now a 10-year-old technology, btw…)
What's the best article (or video, @kevinpowell? 😁) about responsive images you know?
My favs:
@mdn – https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Responsive_images
@eeeps – https://ericportis.com/posts/2014/srcset-sizes/
@grigs –

Sending out more of these today. Limited edition, signed and numbered. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Isn’t it astonishing that after all those decades of global trade, there still isn’t a safety mechanism in place that protects the world economy – and our collective wealth – from the damaging effects of one country electing an erratic, ignorant idiot for president?
Smart Interface Design Patterns
• Vitaly Friedman
Your vs. My? UX Writing Guidelines
When you design an interface, which pronouns do you usually use to address your users? Do you write “My account” or “Your account”? “My drafts” or “Your drafts” — or only “Drafts”? And does it actually matter?
In this newsletter, we’ll shine some light on the different meani...
@kevinpowell And regarding the tab order/source order issue: did you see @rachelandrew‘s super interesting talk at @css__cafe, Kevin?
That might answer a few of your questions – and potentially also bring up new ones, for another podcast episode, maybe? 😉
@kevinpowell I fully (!) agree that it makes sense to name properties in a more familiar way, e.g. `item-wrap` instead of `item-cross` superceding `flex-wrap`. Tim Berners-Lee knew this as well when he created HTML: a lot of elements were already familiar to people using SGML. Make it as frictionless as possible for people to adopt new things, because, as @adactio would say, humans are allergic to change.
Loved this episode of @kevinpowell‘s podcast in which he thinks out loud about a new unified approach to #CSS layout that is currently emerging.

Actually, I took that photo a few days ago. That’s how that tree looks today… 🤯🌸
The OP-Z is going to feature pretty heavily in the Beyond Tellerrand titles, so I built a surround for it in LEGO so I can mount the GoPro onto it for live shenanigans!
