Gave a new talk today at #SmashingConf about ‘typographic curiosities’—in performance, responsiveness, and expression. Loved the response so far so wanted to share the slides and resources: noti.st/jpamental/3A...

Spent time with Ellen before she had to go to NYC, went for a 162km ride, and rebuilt a carburetor. Solid ‘dad stuff’ work today.

It’s up! Video of my talk about curiosity and its role in design that I shared for the first time at #btconf
As I was travelling yesterday, here is the next video of #btconf Düsseldorf today. It is @jpamental.bsky.social and his "Curious Findings". An exploration of curiosity – and its role in design. youtu.be/s3YOE0RXpN0

“Curiosity thrives in the space between expected and unexpected, between map and territory” - @joanwestenberg.com - love this (and will def be incorporating this in my talk on curiosity and its role in design the next time I give it!) see also: need to talk to @ethanmarcotte.com about curiosity too

You know what coffee shop? I don’t want to be nagged about whether or not I liked my experience of buying a coffee via email literally every time I buy a coffee. Or maybe just ‘never’. Your barista will know because I tip them for their lovely attention to their craft.

What an epic week! @beyondtellerrand.com was incredible (as expected), but add to that so many new friends and capped off with an all-day adventure to Acern and beyond with these two excellent gents. Ended the day with 163km/500m/6:55 and almost half of it unpaved! #cycling
What a day to end the #btconf week. Went on a tour with @jpamental.bsky.social who brought his bike and Hans. Have been exhausted before, but now even more 😂

Curiosity isn’t just a trait—it’s a practice. Ask why. Then ask again. That’s where creativity begins.
