It’s not very often my overly critical brain will let me think, I’ve worked on this and it’s fucking awesome. Managed it today!

I need a hot key that automatically types: Thanks, Michael It’s not the act of typing that is the problem, it’s typing my own name reliably!

Speed running a cover is taking up a lot of my brain space. It’s kinda tiring. Need to keep on it though

2026 really hates us. I’ve got things I should be doing but the news about Chad Gilbert has just knocked the wind out of me. Fuck cancer in every single way possible.

Thank you to all at The Bunkhouse, Swansea. You were amazing on a rainy Sunday night. It was an honour to share a stage with Elm Tree Circle, Handle This, and SadCastles. Next up for us is the small matter of recording our debut EP. Let’s do it! 💪 📸 Josh BT #LithiumKicks

It’s dawned on me that getting my left elbow tattooed on the weekend was the last of the major/useable space gaps on my arms. It’s been 5 years of trying, but I’m actually feeling close to my arms being finished. What a feeling!

This was great. The reality of getting up for work today is hard.

Wrestling has been really good to me this weekend. I'm really happy about that.

I made this and I'm really proud of it

Things that absolutely weren't on my 2026 bingo card was discovering Paris Jackson's (Michael daughter) music. It sounding like Phoebe Bridger with bits of the Cure thrown in and it being one of my records of the year.

New lightroom update. Unsurprisingly, things that used to happen instantly, now require thinking time.

Unsurprisingly I will be playing this....what with my face being on the poster.

How does Refused's The Shape of punk to Come still sound like it was made in the future? The album is literally 28 years old!

A friend asked me to try and fix something on his website. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, this is why people hate wordpress. They have a nightmare of a backend with 1000s of options and no clarity to make some changes. This shit offends me and everything I've done as a developer.

Billy West took a photo of my tattoo and now it's in his Twitter. This is super cool.

About to go to comic con Wales, there is more guidance about weapons on their site than their is about bags and water bottles.

Working with 4k videos and proxy files is way harder than I remember. Maybe I should stick to shooting in HD for anything for the web in future.

I have meat in the oven that needs to be turned in 50 minutes and I need a run. These are not things I've combined before

Had an idea for a video for the band. Thought it might be quick and easy. I started at 10pm it's now 1.15am. I've done 14 seconds.

When I was younger, the loss of hero like Lou Koller from Sick of it All would have felt awful because of the impact he made on our community. I shared a stage with him once and it's a core memory for me. Now in my 40s all I can think about is the gap he will leave in his family and friends lives.

Playing camera op and director....wait...no, that's what I was.

The sound of a Lego model hitting a conservatory roof and exploding should be an alarm clock sound available to everyone. I've slept through a flood, in a field, in a tent, on an air bed. But this woke me up like a shot!

It's just barely 7am and I'm already too hot and I've still got to go to London.

The Martian is showing in Cineworld tonight, I really want to see it again, but it wouldn't count towards my movie total for the year. The internal debates of a nerd!

I am not a fan of any event that makes Cardiff central train station a nightmare to navigate.

Someone is replying to my emails using an AI chat bot. I want to reply and say, "if you don't want to read and reply to me, I don't want to help you."

On a train, sit next to the 4 lads with 30 cans of madri between them or the 2 old dears with 3 bottles of moet? Such a British problem.

Michael Partridge @defydesigns.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Mega proud of being in this and making this. I usually hate the idea of a first gig being recorded, it will likely be the worst one you play. But if this is the lowest point for us...I look forward to more!

I think I've got that point in every person who tries to enjoy photography has at some point....lightroom rage. Crashed 4 times in 15 minutes.
