Bluesky friends, very sadly (for me) I need to sell my beloved Wilma. She’s a 1988 T25 VW Campervan, complete with checkerboard floor and fold out bed, recently serviced and MOT’d. If you or anyone you know is interested please let me know - would love her to go to someone nice 🧡

AI hack. I do push ups while the agent is thinking. I am now ready for a career change to Gladiator.

I’ve found something I see as a safety concern with Google Gemini / AI search. Last night I was able to find the personal instagram accounts of people through searching a car reg on Google. In some cases it was reading the reg plate from a reel. It often brought back the owners name too.

3D printer folk. BambuLab A1 combo - good for an 8 year old? Is the combo missing anything you need to start? I don’t know what half the words mean.

My place is looking for a senior designer (12 month mat cover). The role is in a squad that deal with highly complex clinical charting and pathways so some experience in dental / medical would be beneficial. Please don’t DM me, I can’t see or read any. Look me up on LinkedIn and I’ll pass it on.

I’m moving to a 95% remote job next week and trying to set up a space for both work and music production. Anyone got any advice for dealing with multiple macs with the same monitors / keyboards as well as maybe audio too?

@guysegal.com delivered a wonderfully poignant talk on recognising the root cause of team frustration, safety and ultimately recognising being in a design system team can feel like an emotional merry go round

It’s not been the best year and it was my birthday last week so… I now own a 1962 bug in beryl green with the best patina ever. Spent most of its life in Washington state and has bags of history.

Contribution in design systems is mostly people applying a go faster stripe to their own car and then asking Honda to include it as standard.

I’ve had this Design Systems meme in my head for quite a long time.

A set of screen captures from the movie Wayne’s World. The stills are showing the title screen and Wayne and Garth’s excited genuine reaction when it was their own cable show vs the confusion and bewilderment when it was bought by a network and sponsored by Noah’s arcades. The text overlay reads “design systems 2015” and “design systems 2025” over each group of screen captures, suggesting that some of the essence of what made design systems good has been ruined by people that don’t understand them.

I appreciate this is pretty niche but have any of you web / a11y folk really dug into not being able to check a radio / checkbox with voice control e.g. dragon, if the label has any inline formatting… e.g. a span around a word etc

Would you say design / tech is at a peak ideological crossroad?

Another Liquid Glass accessibility take you didn’t ask for. Is it the death nail for aligned cross platform UI? Is it another example of accessible only through user settings - with those settings only taking effect on the applications native to that device.

For those of you that are unaware of my previous career as an unpopular musician. I put some stuff I found in the loft on my Bandcamp davehouse.bandcamp.com/merch Including this 2004 esque shirt.

Been working on my personal website in the middle of the night for a few days (when else?!). Very much WIP but coming together - Currently struggling with walking the line between CV / non-existent portfolio and a place to keep blogs (still medium links for now but determined to self publish)
