Also: there are only a few tickets left for what might just be Europe’s finest conference on design, creativity, and the Web. ✨ Trust me: this one’s genuinely special. The kind of event that will change you and your perspectives. 🖤
A week from now, I’ll be in Düsseldorf for @btconf 🎉🤗
Can’t wait to be back in the audience – who will join me there? 👋

Oh boy, the Marathon soundtrack is RAD! I'm still yet to play the game, but loving all the art, animation and now the music, so good! If you like ambient-ey, drone-ey, glitch-ey, big beat-ey electronic stuff, then this is for you!

14-year-old today: “The option of me becoming a classic coder, one who writes everything by hand, probably doesn't exist anymore, does it? Too bad, it was actually fun.”

Your AI-generated videos of the Moon sure look impressive. But nothing compares to the real Artemis II footage – they’re almost there 😯:
It's been quite the weekend... the oven stopped working, the new exercise bike turned up, there are now Basil and Thyme seeds in the hydroponics thingy in the kitchen, PerlBod excavated several layers of his tShirt drawer, Sunday lunch with family (including the aforementioned Yorkshire apple pie with Wensleydale cheese), and a good chunk of my next conference talk (for All Day Hey!) is in much better shape than it was a few days ago! Oh, and the sun's out 😎
Today I was introduced to the traditional Yorkshire apple pie made with Wensleydale cheese. Oh. My. Goodness. I need to lie down and not eat again until Thursday 😊 😋
That moment when the idea for a talk just clicks into place and you know you're going to have fun with it ❇️
