Notes

What better way to break in my new Rega Planar 3 than with Kelly Lee Owens self-titled LP.

2021 marks 25 years since the first Mission Impossible film and coincidentally when Tom Cruise’s “Dorian Gray painting” was finally completed. 🍿

Farewell Adobe Flash (although it will always be Macromedia Flash to me). For a lot of digital designers out there it taught us so much about the importance of animation, movement and the sheer amount of diverse interaction you could create. Such an important piece of kit.

Excited to finally be able to talk about this: Introducing Twilio Frontline now in private beta.

UK reality TV: Too much squashing, not enough quashing.

So much to think about and unpack after watching Extinction: The Facts.

Really enjoying using LiebeHeide on a personal project. This wonderful handwritten font also reminds me I need to finish another little experiment of converting my own handwriting to an OpenType format.

Spending a lot of my recovery time reading about how to build a concrete base for a shed. A wasted childhood not paying attention to my dad is really starting to show!

Day 2 of gallbladder removal recovery. Not much sleep and feeling particularly sore. Note to self: take painkillers before bedtime.

The first few lines I find when reading up about general anaesthetic — "It's not clear exactly how it works...". Human nature in a sentence right there.

Got the go-ahead to use Basier — a gem of a sans serif — on a new brand and site design 👌🏼

If this works then this post will have come from IA Writer to my personal site 🤞🏼

The latest hack on Twitter has got me thinking again about the Indie Web community and the strong mission they’re taking with owning your content and syndicating it where you want it. Exploring more into this...

Introducing this little goblin in to our lives — Lottie the 2 month old Cockapoo 🐶.

This nostalgic Channel 4 piece on the 'New Media' really hits home and reminded me why I got in to digital in the first place.

In an attempt to own as much of my digital content as possible, I'm putting together a micropub 'Notes' section to document just that — notes. I'm giving micro.blog a go to stream this. It's looking promising!
