Welcome to the new folks. Hello from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
I mostly write about and share stuff about the web (design, dev, UX, managing, open source, software).
I’ll also post and share about politics and news in Canada.
I’m a lefty: both my writing hand and my politics.

Does anyone know if there's a way to report an error to Apple Music? There's some rando band using the same artist name as the Australian, EMI recording artist, Olympia, with their new rather mid album plonked onto her Apple Music profile. I was excited she might have dropped a new album but nope.

Am I not the only person who reads text on their devices at the very top of the screen and scroll the text into my eyeline? Why to designers and site owners insist on polluting the top of the screen to ads (esp. those fucking videos) that show up out of nowhere to shadow effects that blur text?

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.
