That’s why you always need a bit of “DB wiggle room” 😉
My favourite table at the minute is the ‘LED’ mod of Creature From The Black Lagoon. It scratches all my glowey neon itches and looks perfect in my den!!
Off to Freiburg for @smashingconf! 🚄🤩🎉 See you soon! 🤗
It’s still a bit buggy and some things aren’t working properly, I suppose. And I also can’t wait to improve it and add more stuff to it now…
But hey: it’s alive!

Earlier this year, someone bought me some gorgeous bath bombs from Lush, and having decided to by myself some more, I've discovered that in January they renamed three of their bath bombs to "Diversity", "Equity", and "Inclusion", in protest against Trump's Executive Order.
More virtual pinball fun! Got the table running well in 4K with all the bells & whistles at a stable 60FPS/HZ! Now starting to think about a custom cabinet build with the help of my good friend Jack!

There aren’t many albums that actually *the whole family* enjoys and everyone is humming along on a Saturday morning.
The New Abnormal by The Strokes is one of them. 🥁🎸😙🎶
@matuzo By the way: will @zachleat be at @smashingconf next week, too? 🖼️😁

Sounds like a challenge to me. Ready everyone?
Someone has just made my day by calling me "one of the accessibility OG" 😂
Great progress on the virtual pinball project tonight! New PSU and GPU installed thanks to the kind skills and patience of @jamieandlion.bsky.social (Get well soon mate!) and now VPX is running super well with no button lag at all! Also installed a VESA mount on the telly to angle it 5 degrees too!

8-y/o: “Not the part with the large machine! That’s cool.“
(She’s talking about the Large Haydon Collider, of course. 😊)
Alright, so … websites! ✨
In other news, we will see Augustin Hadelich live in Berlin next year – playing the Sibelius violin concerto. One of the most amazing pieces of music performed by one of the best violin players ever. In row 4. I can't wait! And my son, who is the actual violinist in the family, is thrilled to bits, of course! 🤩
