Today I am 43 and I got some banging new studio monitors for my b’day! I’ve wanted to make my little musical corner more ‘serious’ for ages and I’m stoked these KRK Classic 5’s help with that!
Making sticky pork belly slices; cooked in ginger ale, then clarted in a reduction made with maple syrup, lime juice, ketchup, ginger, chilli and garlic.

Weekly Roundup #015

Oh hai there! Happy Friday to you all, hope you're good. Aardman work is keeping me busy as always but I'm very excited to say that I've got a bunch of silly things keeping me very entertained in my own time! Jumping around with
New weekly round-up blog is live on me site! Grab a cuppa and have a read: https://blog.jam-factory.com/weekly-roundup-015/
Going to be talking about curiosity and it's role in design later today at evolvedrupal.com - made a few adjustments since @beyondtellerrand.com and excited to see how folks react https://www.evolvedrupal.com
I'm really getting excited on the idea of making a hardback art book to celebrate 25 years of making work under the name of Jamfactory. Crowdfunding is currently feeling like the best route for me, as I can combine my love of projects with 'extra' bits like badges, stickers, prints and more!

Working on a few rough ideas for the redesign of my personal site (– this time for real! 😂) and I think I might be up to something here … 🤔🎛️
I have no idea how to make such knobs accessible, though … 🤔 Maybe range sliders as fallbacks under the hood?
Also, just look at those numerals by @koeberlin 😍
What I’d give to be in Josh Johnson’s head rn 😁🍿
Alright, so … #CSS!

SIDE PROJECT ALERT! A lil' cheeky teaser for a super fun passion project I'm cooking up with my friend and master of the methodical, Jack Hayward... more soon!
If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔
It makes me really happy to see that already more than 1.5k people watched my talk from last month’s @btconf on YouTube! 🥳🙏 I take it as a sign that it was useful to many of you and that real-world, independent conferences are still valuable and relevant – just like the long tail of YouTube when it comes to the visibility and impact of conferences. I’m so glad I can contribute to @marcthiele’s wonderful event and to the community this way! 💚
New side project incoming!! Me and my buddy Jack are combining our skills of design + fabrication + love of buttons… stay tuned for more!!
