iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Brett Magill @brettmagill.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

A lot of my colleagues and peers were a bit weirded out when we launched blogs this year. (something about being old fashioned?) So, should YOU start a blog in 2026? brettmagill.bearblog.dev/should-you-s...

I feel it's a major positive that so few of my overly caffeinated industry is on Bluesky yet. Not because I want more of us here, but because it feels nicer. #SocialMedia #Marketing

Figuring some things out at the moment.📚 Moving cities and then countries doesn't help. Remembering that one should go easy on one's self too. Take care today my friends. 🖖

Off to la office. Could I just work from home, yes, but why have an office and pay for it's rent when you could work in it, someone's gotta do it. 😂🤦 Don't mind me, having a rebellious brain on today. 🙏

I unironically love color banding so, so much.

Doom 64 scene of a tower in an expansive cavern arena.

A zoom-in on the tower. As it fades into the shadow above, the gradient coloring splits up into distinct color bands.

While up to now #Village might seem to me as the least #ResidentEvil of the REs, saying it isn't a great game would be lying. Castle D was absolutely beautiful, but the game design of the Dollhouse is simply superb. Let's see if we find our way out, now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

screenshots of the startmap I built for qbj3 or Quake Brutalist Jam III some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques

a dreary sky, a lonely grey concrete tower in the center. there are chambers on the base that a person can enter with stairs leading up to them

a brutalist concrete lobby, with nice carpet, furniture, and plants hanging from suspended planters. the lighting is warm and welcoming

a cavernous gallery room, with a high ceiling and artificial sun panels pouring warm diffused light into the room. there is a statue of a floating octahedron in the center. plants and vines hang down from the walls. the room branches off into other chambers.

view of a tall, oddly shaped hallway. carpet down the whole length. on the left there is seating, a cabinet, and a large painting of some abstract rock formation.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

I didn't start out as an Account Manager, or wanting the job if we're being honest. But, I realized I could use this branch to challenge myself, and improve my craft. Here's how to be a good Account Manager: brettmagill.bearblog.dev/how-to-be-a-... #Advertising #PerformanceMedia

They do say that moving is in the top 3 most stressful things in life, the other two being death and divorce. #FunFact: the 4th most stressful thing in life is driving in Dubai.

So... You know when you post a thing and it "tastes bad " after posting. I really don't want to be using this platform like I did when I actually used twitter for my personal stuff. I suppose that's why I enjoy my @hyacsho.bsky.social account..there's a fun point.

It's been coming up recently in the feeds, I feel compelled to share my thoughts about X. I left X, because my friends left X, the platform started charging for stuff that should be free, the UX became bloated and spammy, and even when I blocked accounts, I'd get their content. X is broken.

I need to get a letter, form my landlord, to tell Building Management, to give me a letter, to give a letter to Security, to let me move out this month. When people talk about "it just works" in Dubai, this is not what they're talking about.

This week and year started with a win. I started a blog with my friend @bloggsymalone.bsky.social . It's like making your bed first thing in the morning right, started this year with a win. I also attempted solitude at the beach.
