You may remember that before Christmas I won a stupid turkey size meatball from IKEA. This was both very funny in the moment but then a crushing realisation of the reality of it. Anyway after being in my parent's freezer for a while, we finally cooked it the other weekend.

Interop 2025 is out, the cross-browser project to track and prioritise new developments on the web. Particularly delighted as Anchor Positioning is on there, which is something I submitted the proposal for! 🎉 web.dev/blog/interop...

Bit of a creepy moment on ITV's FA Cup coverage just now as they decided to just point their cameras zooming very close through the windows of student housing?

Flicked past one of the 'At the BBC' music compilation shows, with this 1992 performance from Jon Secada in a faux Japanese garden in Wales, as a miniature railway goes past mid-performance. This is a great enhancement and they should get a mini railway installed in the Radio 1 Live Lounge.

Words I never thought I'd hear : "And that was Napalm Death on BBC Radio 3."

Mini Spoons update. It's taken 5 months, but my parents have found one of my favourite of the hidden hundred. On a lamp that's on a table in between each of their sofas. It's been next to them this whole time.

This morning, I am mostly trying not to be awkwardly in the background of TikToks from the England netball team. This is something that I normally achieve most days at work without any effort, but today is a risk I have to concern myself with.

Saw the Tim Burton exhibition at the Design Museum but my main highlight was some big photos taken on a "rare large format Polaroid camera", so I was amusing myself with the idea of how big that camera must be And the answer is that is massive, it's fantastic en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroi...

Overheard last night, a man on the phone making a futile attempt to meet up with someone: "The bank, I'm outside the big bank at canary wharf"

Wow I can't believe that the Nintendo Switch 2, where every detail leaked, looks like a Nintendo Switch but with some upgrades that match what was leaked. Sure looks good to me, bit more power, fun upgrades, lovely stuff.

The Facebook DEI 180 switch tells us a key lesson. Zuckerberg was either lying to you about what he believed last year or he’s lying to you today. By either measure he’s a liar. The rest of work shouldn't run to copy him. open.substack.com/pub/makework...

Well I guess after they lost like £120m last year they had to make some cuts. Wait, explain that borrowing to me, huh, interesting Commiserations to those affected.

I have come up with a new comedy character, Newsapp Push-Notification, who runs up to strangers on the street and interrupt what they're doing to yell at in their faces "PRINCE WILLIAM WISHES KATE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or "LAURA KUENSSBERG ASKS WHAT NIGEL FARAGE'S INTERVENTIONS REALLY MEAN" then leaves

I can’t get over how cartoonishly evil this is putting in your fucking “hate speech” policy that a particular kind of hate speech against a particular group of people is explicitly allowed - and therefore encouraged - is the kind of shit that should be done from a volcano lair with a shark moat
