With Apple and Microsoft's greed pushing millions of laptops towards landfill, I keep as many as I can alive with Linux. Already rescued about a dozen (most went to local schools) and have a Lenovo and 2017 Macbook Pro to do next.

Switching a client from Google Maps to OpenStreetMap was pretty straightforward. Using Advanced Custom Fields and Leaflet.js to add markers and no API keys required either.

Rediscovered 'Jura' while looking for a free Eurostile type font - it's on v3 now with improvements including a bolder face. Some nice Opentype features if you use the Github version instead of Google Fonts version

Reasons why you MUST own your business platform in 2025. As the X-odus to Bluesky is showing, we can't rely on Big Tech platforms to reach our audiences.

Inspirational words from Saul Bass. Sometimes we can craft things for their own sake, even while working on client projects
#design #quote #inspiration
"I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don't give a damn whether the client understands that that's worth anything, or that the client thinks it's worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It's worth it to me. It's the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares." Saul Bass

Our choice of brands we support or boycott matters.
Coca-Cola, the world's top plastic polluter (and owner of Costa coffee) has completely dropped its 2022 goal of achieving a 25% reusable packaging target by 2030.

Just spotted that WooCommerce now includes 'Brands' functionality, previously available only via a plugin or coding a custom post type. Glad to see this as it's useful for Google Shopping etc.

Sick of Facebook's shit? Here's some info on how to delete your account.
If you can't quit yet (family, business page admin etc), you can still improve privacy by deleting the apps & using it in sandboxed web browser.

Precious Plastic are a community based, open source plastic recycling movement that's had a huge impact. Plastic waste is insane with so much getting buried or burned. Working out how to get involved with this project myself!
