Last meeting today of the D&D group and I am finally going to take a long break after this one. A lot of lessons learned with this campaign and groups (yes groups) of players. Time to start writing from all the notes I found from when I started at age 9 until about 2015 when I last played/DMed.

The amount of times I want to yell this after seeing someone post that they wash chicken…

It’s the weekend. Go enjoy it. You earned it.

New character name ideas for D&D as I enjoy some quiet time: • Any species, monk class. Fleetwood Monk • Tabaxi Bard. Jef Leppard • Dragonborn, any class. Ozzy Dragonborn • Lizardfolk, any class. Lizard Skynyrd • Lich Necromancer. Billy I. Lich

When is Chrome going to allow the user to mute individual tabs instead of the entire site? Asking for a friend.

Chatbots, when designed poorly and with intent, can be a deceptive pattern. Take this example, www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult... This is why LLMs can’t be trusted and the development behind it needs to be watched carefully. LLMs aren’t your friend. Literally.

The new Patreon home page is a classic example of scroll-jacking and I despise how orgs do that. This example in particular. It is absolutely abysmal.

Lots to unpack here. If you can't keep your small children out of harm's way, then you don't need to be a parent. Period. If you don't have a child in the game, you don't need to be there. At all. (Allegedly, the woman may not have had a child in the game) You don't put your hands on someone else

Trying to think clearly about whether or not infinite scrolling is, or can be labelled as Obstruction. I lean towards "yes" due to the impact it has on users w/motor skill or cognitive issues. Infinite scrolling is a curse on the web and should be thrown in the garbage as it was never a good idea.

Ponzu chicken and rice with bok choy and mushrooms slaps.

Susan Collins must be concerned by now.

Looking at the timeline today and thinking why is everyone stunned, imagine if we threw Nixon, Clinton, or even Andrew Johnson in prison, and how much whining I see when we have voted in the same deadbeat, ancient, monolithic politicians who don’t do shit election after election has me exhausted.

Following done. That’s a nice number. 🤣

Happy birthday @marktechson.com!

This year (and the next three) could have been an email.

RIP Chef. One of the best to ever do it.

If your user research is not including research on how deceptive patterns and anti-patterns work and how you can not engage in the creation of them and ways to avoid using them, then you're not doing your research right.

I saw this paragraph in an article on Obstruction in design. "Obstruction is a design process that aims to highlight something (in our case, a text, a logo or a tagline) by partly hiding it." Don't do this. Just don't.

Getting the work underway... looking at you overlays. #Accessibility
