Nine years ago today the UK voted to leave the EU. Since then our economy has shrunk, our creative industries have been damaged and our freedoms curtailed. Now is the time to be having mature conversations about rejoining the EU and repairing the damage done by Brexit.

Should you get tasked with designing a #PPT deck, install the super handy and free #PowerPoint Toolbar – it places all the design tools right up in the toolbar. It's by Slidor, a french company cursed to walk the earth designing in PowerPoint for sins unknown www.slidor.agency/toolbar-powe...

The relentless discourse about #ai agents coming for our web dev jobs has finally progressed us to the acceptance stage. So, we experimented with vibe-coding a #Nuxt 4 PWA using #Cursor, and blogged about the experience here www.blackspike.com/blog/vibe-co... TLDR we're doomed, but not just yet.

we have spent the weekend vibe-coding for the first time to see what all the fuss was about. we built a flashcard pwa for learning greek alphabet/numbers using @nuxt.com v4, @vuejs.org and @tailwindcss.com. we used cursor (also for the first time) and eleven labs to generate the audio.

Solar power. A new / old picture. Made in the sea in #Brighton while waiting for starlings to arrive. Forgotten about until last week, printed this morning, sold this afternoon. Seems like an efficient way to do things. brightonphotography.com/brighton-sea-swimming

I tried to take a new timelapse video on another funicular earlier, but I'd accidently set it to slo-mo rather than timelapse, thus creating history's most tedious video. I'll just share the previous one again, it's essentially the same anyway #timelapse #istanbul
