Thanks #WebDevConf for letting me talk about creativity, art, and computers. here's my slides and all of the links talks.hiddedevries.nl/jA4a36/creat...

Bit of a last-minute journey to Bristol this evening after realising that I _really_ didn’t fancy a 5am start tomorrow, but now settled in my hotel + ready for a good night’s sleep before @webdevconf.com tomorrow. See you there?

They really need to make an alert that you can still read once you've made it stop screaming.

We’ve got SO MUCH accessibility stuff to get angry about But it wears you down so much constantly facing barriers, we feel broken. Even the tiny barriers build up Like I haven’t even shared the shitshow of our trip to Wembley a few weeks ago

New day, fresh cup of coffee, and… I’m not sure why I didn’t just `position-area: end span-start;`, but never mind. At least I got to learn about safe/unsafe positioning along the way—thanks Bramus!

OK, so masonry-type designs may be a little bit old-fashioned these days, but CSS grid lanes looks like it could be an awesome tool for making digital art #cssday

From the news this morning, it seems an apt time to note—once again—that a million seconds is 11½ days, a billion seconds is 31.7 years, and a trillion seconds is 31.7 _millennia_. Just in case certain news stories need putting into perspective right now…

“…be […] the person in the room who isn’t tired yet. Because the one thing the business model of apathy cannot survive is a roomful of people who refuse to be tired on cue.” (not sure why I didn’t share this when it was released, but now is also good #prideMonth )

#voted (I’ll admit that I’m worried about the outcomes + effects of this election cycle, but… gotta do my bit, and so should you. However intolerable you may find the various parties, I guarantee apathy will be even worse. Go vote!)

If you’re going out to vote today… Make your choice based on what would benefit the most vulnerable person you know. You might be fine, but not everyone is

Well, this is just adorable: I wonder if my client will let me sneak it into the current project… www.pigenpalace.com/dogspinner/

I have made it to Dec 6th before being Wham-ed. How’s everyone else doing?

Anyone in the UK getting extremely slow resolution from @quad9dns.bsky.social at the moment? Currently seeing queries taking up to 3.5s, with more than a few timeouts for good measure :/

Creative folk who’ve ditched the Adobe stack: what’re your favourite Photoshop replacements? I’ve been trying to love the Affinity suite for about a year; Designer and Publisher are fine, but while Photo has some nice touches, I just… don’t love it. I’m curious as to what other folk are using.

Heading back home after three days cosplaying an extrovert at a trade show with/for a client. It’s been incredibly tiring but a lot of fun. Got a laundry list of things I/we want to do as a result, but first I need to lay down and not move for at least 12 hours.

had to try CSS filter + SVG glass displacement on webcam input – crank saturation for cheap gold ✨

havin' a play with: backdrop-filter: url(#glass); Gecko/Webkit 🙏

… I’m going to have to add this to my next project as an Easter egg, aren’t I?

Study on London 20 mph limits shows: - collisions ⬇️ 35% - casualties ⬇️ 36% - fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34% - child casualties ⬇️ 46% - child deaths ⬇️ 75% - walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28% etsc.eu/20mph-limits...

For the record:

Any #cssday folk still in Amsterdam up for food/drinks/discussing the shape of the web this evening?

… dear gods of bsky: can we have post editing, please? I might possibly have gotten a little too used to it on masto, and it would save the amount of post-delete-repost cycles I go through 😆
