Obligatory shot of a page professing to be about UX totally ruining the UX. https://ibb.co/Mk34N7s Suffice to say I didn’t bother reading the article.

Just think of your phone like a plastic card. It's listening for the request from an NFT reader, at which point it beams out your 'card number', and that is that. This took me a while to grok. I couldn't understand how A

Ha! I bet I've seen you in there. Yeah we were in our 30s, absolutely loved it. This was from 2007-2010~ish. I can't believe Robot survived. Yoshi's done well there.

I used to live above a Japanese bar in the centre of Melbourne, Australia. It was a busy street in a busy part of town. (Robot, for the locals.) Of course this place was sold, both to renters and buyers, as ‘hip’, it was ‘the inner-city lif

Well, kinda! But not really. I'm living this right now. I just switched laptops with my partner as she's doing a bunch of video editing. So she got my Pro and I'm using her Air. (I know, I'm an amazing boyfriend.) So yea

You can, but as someone who is currently juggling external SSDs to try to get a video project finished, I can tell you that you don’t want to. Hence me yesterday looking at the 4TB upgrade price on the M3 MBP. Hoooooooly cow. I mean I’ll al

Any Australians here who were there for Melbourne’s ‘dirty electro’ scene through the 00s-10s? I feel very privileged to have lived my 30s through that time. Public Office in West Melbourne. The Lounge! Oh my god the Lounge on Swanston. E55

I just got in to serious video editing with DaVinci Resolve. The core product — a fully featured video editor including SFX (Fusion), colour correction (Color), and sound editing (Fairlight) — costs… …$0. It’s entirely free. There’s a pai

And fizzy pop! I dare say every town had one. In Sunderland we had Sykes. They’d come round once a week; you left your old bottles out front and they’d be swapped out for new. I always loved dandelion & burdock. https://www.s

That’s not what I said. Tools enable success. Better tools make the job easier. They make the result better. But having bad tools isn’t a reason to give up. It’s frustrating. But you just have to get on with it.

I’m not being snarky, but have you ever worked for a company the size of, say, HP? The tools are the tools. There’s nothing me or my boss or theirs can do about it. They just don’t care. But I care, because if nothing else it’s my reputat

I’ve been in the same situation. With two laptops you lose the ability to, say, send email directly to your task system. It’s really easy to say ‘don’t use your personal stuff at work’, but when work is some locked-down behemoth whose view
