Hi and welcome to my new followers. I make websites, fun stuff with code, books (sometimes with code!) and site specific installations. Happy to have you along for the journey. I'm going to try to document my thinking and process more than I did on Twitter (😷). This is an accountability post...
Through Witnessing. Threading the critiquing, making, teaching of design edited by Nida Abdullah, Chris Lee and Xiny Li. Exploring ways to decolonise the design curriculum through interviews and dialogues with those currently trying to do it. Really good!

I got so pissed off with that little prick I emailed Notion and they turned off ai for my workspace. The little bastard is still there though! Now operating as a doorway to turn ai back on. AAAAAARRRGGH

In Search of Berlin, John Kampfner (dust jacket lost somewhere). A beautiful, meandering book about the city, its history, people and psyche. Thoroughly recommend for my fellow Berlin fans

Could be a good addition to rip-it-and-split-it!

--get-random-dino arg ftw

I figured out that by swapping cover art for pictures of dinosaurs and sharks means I can play anything I damn well please in the car and my kids love it. “Can we have the stegosaurus song?” Which is a bit of obscure chuggy techno I ripped off vinyl

I wonder how many more layers of “yes we’re deliberately ruining your lives” everyone will need shovelling on top of their heads by the worst fucks on the planet before they understand it? Tune in today for more endless horrors that fail to hit home…

Another one is making a quicklink to a specific web project folder and telling it to open in your preferred editor. Really handy for projects you're working on a lot

Plus there are a few snippets mostly for terminal stuff I can never remember and always find myself looking up.

So nothing close to a power user yet but it's a start

So far they're pretty niche! A couple where they open a particular site (discogs) but then focus on the search bar straight away. One where it opens quicktime and opens up the screen recording options. One sets a focus mode and opens 'Self Control' (blocks a list of sites that distract me).

I’m slowly moving into second gear with @raycast.com - setting up some nice shortcuts/scripts. Getting rid of the muscle memory of doing stuff the hard way is not easy to shift though

Oh cool, after an update my Adobe apps now hijack my screen and won’t let me switch to anything else. I can’t even uninstall them. Enshittification right before my eyes. @adobe.com why do you suck so badly?

hands on research, Harma Staal, Miriam Rasch, Jojanneke Gijsen. This reinforces the importance of getting your hands dirty (physically and metaphorically), making, prototyping and doing

Yes my motivation is similar, along with actually remembering more of what I read which my adhd brain is not that great at

Inspired by (ripping off) @maxleonard.bsky.social here’s a thread of books I’m reading this year (it will probably total what Max reads in a week).

First up: Why history matters to graphic design by Clémence Imbert. A reexamination of why the history of the field is still relevant to students.

Do you want to know about the typo in the thumbnail?

In an afternoon! Although most of my records are dj 12s with a couple tracks on each side not full albums. A quick squiz at your collection and it's very LP heavy! Most of the LPs I've got I can find on Soulseek (don't tell the feds)

Another tip if you're ripping more than a couple records, Pastebot's sequential copy/paste is perfect for this. Copying all the data off of Discogs and into the json file took a couple minutes for the 14 records I ripped yesterday

I shudder to think how much time I've spent ripping records and manually entering all the metadata before figuring this out. Probably over 2 weeks. Urgh. Must. Look. Forward...
January 23, 2026 at 11:41 AM
Dredge! I've figured out a nice little automation with a python script. You output a single audio file, make a metadata.json for all the records you ripped, highlight each track in audacity and export those markers to a text file. Run the script and it outputs folders for each record

A site I worked on last year but forgot to share. A lightweight custom Wordpress theme for Publics, a leading cultural institution in Helsinki. Nothing fancy going on so it’s nice and snappy. I worked with Valerio Di Lucente from (erstwhile) Studio Julia which was an honour
