I’m organising a new event that’s all about side quests - side projects, teaching yourself things, explorations into dev/tech shit…

When I am on linkedin, I always wonder why every post is so spaced out. Perhaps the sentences are like a net, hoping to catch some engagement

Jony Ive, the most overrated designer in history, is collabing with AI, the most overrated technology in history. Things are about to get so mid.

A fun little side quest to show you how applying styles to alt text can really elevate your user interface. piccalil.li/blog/you-can...

i’ve seen a lot of calls for aid from palestinians on bluesky lately, and i gotta feel like The Right Thing To Do is just help, without condition, nor hand-wringing doubt. well, but what if i'm wrong about that? henry.codes/writing/well...

Call me old fashioned, but the ShadowRealms API sounds like something web developers shouldn't be fucking with

It is once again time to mention @wicky.nillia.ms’s date picker ‘Cally’, you’ll never have to deal with picking dates ever again

Seems like someone is spamming people from a domain that has a shady redirect to my website. Charming. I've contacted the domain registrar, but if you get an email that isn't from @robbowen.digital but points to my website, then it isn't me 😩

new little post up on the personal site™️ about how there can and should be joy in alt text :) bryn.codes/writing/the-...

Currently waiting at hospital after my mum took a fall and hurt her leg. Hopefully it's just bruising, but checking anyway. She lives in the countryside and didn't have her phone on her, so questions: Does apple watch fall detection work as advertised and is it still reliant on carrying your phone?

I wrote up my experience of attending @heypresents.com, and how it changed something deeply within me.

Alright, we're actually doing this open working thing. We're going to work on projects, for real clients who are set up to make people's lives tangibly better. We can only do that if it works financially though because we've got mortgages etc. Your support will make this happen.

We’re trying a rather radical new approach at Piccalilli by doing real world projects — for real clients — in the open. This gives us a context to provide genuine high quality, real world education for free at the point of entry.

I felt that it was sad that a company with a $12.5 billion valuation in the year 2025 announced a visual website builder product last week that does not build accessible websites. I wrote about it here. terminal.ahumanfuture.co/posts/2025-0...

A David Lynch quote for every creative person who may need it today. It resonated with me when I came across it reading it in Lynch on Lynch.

Clouds like bruises crack open Sunday stillness. Black coffee and petrichor

Was listening to the new ep by The Wonder Years and saw their singer did guest vocals for a band I'd never heard of, called Beauty School. Turns out they're from Leeds and the track is a banger

As someone who has been making internet things for a large part of it, I very much enjoyed this history lesson. Visual coding has come a long way, but Figma sites just isn't it

During my livestream yesterday, I talked about Figma Sites for a little bit. I've broken it off into a short, stand-alone video. I don't normally like bashing a company, but when a company of Figma's size makes a product this bad, I think it's important to call them out on it. youtu.be/ZsFIvULxkHI
