I've started a gentle newsletter about web development -- performance, process and culture, and associated topics. It’s informal, infrequent, and (hopefully) useful. Subscribe if you're into that sort of thing.

One of my favourite things to do while working at ReedPop was getting to send our weekly all-hands "product update" emails.

I've been playing around with client-side prefetching and the CSS View Transitions API. Big fan of both!

Improving perceived load times with client-side preloading and view transitions
Applying two separate -- and low effort! -- frontend technologies to your site can improve its perceived load times and give people a nicer experience.

Spent some time in the Newcastle branch of NQ64 this weekend. Absolutely love these spaces. Completed Time Crisis 2, completed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, played some DDR, and had a round of Golden Tee Golf. Four hours whizzed by. We need one in Brighton!

Did a seven mile walk in the snow last night to collect/rescue my daughter after the snow closed the roads between her school and our home. A memorable evening, weirdly fun and beautiful walking across the downs!

I've added a "Randomise!" button to my generative art along with a calculation of the number of unique variations that can be generated for each piece. Enjoy.
