These window stickers do make it a little more tolerable to drive though. 😄

Awesome shot man! I didn’t even have my camera. I got a shan iPhone photo of it coming up over the sea, and then it went behind the clouds for hours haha!

I’m endlessly torn between trying to stay online and active in my industry, and hiding, disconnected from the world in the wilderness. On that note, I’ve spent the past week in rural Spain taking pictures of wildlife. Here’s my favourite, of a Golden Eagle in Adamuz. ❤️

Does anybody know how to turn off the new pulse effect in the messages app on #iOS26. It’s really doing my head in, but I can’t find a way to disable it in any of the usual places.

Wow. Not a fan of Starling Banks redesign. I’d be doing “git reset --hard” on that, right away! #design

Lovely fresh Sunday morning with a pop up hide and a camera. Hello Little Owl!

Yesterday, I was introduced at @frontendnorth.bsky.social by the legend @letorey.co.uk. We joked about how I love to do wildlife photography, but I never really do anything with the photos. So here’s my favourite picture I’ve taken in 2025!

Made it to #FrontEndNorth. Already won some Lego. Today is going great!

Why have they vertically centred the dot on the new gov.uk logo? The whole point of it being aligned to the baseline is it’s a dot in a web address? It’s Gov dot UK… Not Gov bullet UK! Awful.

Next month is Frontend North in Sheffield.

I’ll be joining an amazing lineup with my talk “if it’s not user centred, it’s not accessible”. #Accessibility should be positioned as a user need, not a non-functional requirement!

Tickets are £75, including the social at the National Videogame Museum!

Saw these photos posted by @jhey.dev. A hilarious reminder of why we always start with content!

When we start with design and add the content later, we often write content that fits, not content people need!

Or, in this case, it gets printed full of “Lorem Ipsum” 😂

I find a lot of people, even 'accessibility specialists' are unfamiliar with most of the WCAG AAA criteria. A lot of internal tools and checklists I've reviewed don't even have any of them listed. There's an entire subset of really good accessibility guidance that literally never gets read.

UX Fails 101… Providing an example, then rejecting an input that matches the example. If you show spaces, accept spaces!

Finally quit the other place. Removed the icon from my blog. Good riddance!
