UX Designers post a lot about layout tools and whiteboard tools but we never talk about the most important design tool of all - the big stick we use to stir shit up

vonkirschnell.haus Your handsome scribes are next writing a special on Scrapbooking. Coloured items of all shapes and sizes. Yarns spun with split pins and sewn-in hidden compartments inconceivable to the common mind. True graphic design weaved into the art of telling Tall Tales. Stay tuned.

Having a breakdown in the General channel
Slack screenshot that reads:

konnaire: We used to have to go to a special place in the house to use The Computer, where they'd sit upon grand MDF shrines to Going Online. We have given The Computer to too many morons and it shows.
You just woke up. It's 2000. The last 25 years were a dream. Your family says you were talking in your sleep about 'Al' again, and that they're gonna start calling you Rick Deckard if you keep it up. You walk to The Computer - wasn't this smaller? Couldn't it fit in your hand? - and boot it up. The dial-up tone sends shivers down your spine. You load up the WWW Virtual Library to find resources on a new RPG. A Web Master called Mr Pickles begins with 'Welcome, traveller. Or dare I say - friend?' You exhale.

There is an image of an early 2000s computer with CRT monitor atop an MDF computer table with printer, speakers, and CDs

As my partner starts a new job at the weekends I've borrowed her van and sodded off to find lighthouses and chippy teas. Life is good when you're necking curry sauce within eyeshot of at least 3 lighthouses.

'It's actually not been so bad this winter' he says, ignoring the now permanent tremor from his left hand. He looks beyond the almost translucent skin – resembling that of a newborn fish – to his wristwatch. 'Yes, 17:46. It really hasn't been that bad'

I have an itch that only restoring a classic 2-door Range Rover can scratch. I have been sitting on this since I was a teenager. I fear I shall make a horrendous financial decision in the coming year.

Woke up in the middle of Dartmoor, and joined the Mountain Rescue team for a night hike with local ghost stories (all of which seemed to occur within 100ft of our camp spot)

Lying to myself by saying this table is for dining when the reality is it's for late-night scheming and the upkeep of several scrapbooks.
