(Also it has a dark mode, for all of you folks running a system/browser that supports automated dark modes.)

The logo is a lovely piece of handcrafted SVG experimentation, which is something I've not done a huge amount of.

The hard part was actually getting the wave mask just right. In fact, it was so hard I made a generator to do it for me. placeholder.rocks/wavy.html

Web devs! My Steven Universe themed placeholder image service has an actual website now. Hurray! placeholder.rocks/

An inflated number 3 just drifted slowly past the office window and I was the only person who noticed.

Baby you're the only thing in this whole world that's good and pure and right.

UK politics, Brexit, the DUP 

The DUPs Brexit position visualised.

I updated my Steven Universe themed placeholder image site, placeholder.rocks, with some season two images.

Now I just need to add the other three seasons, shorts, and actually build the website.

Oh, so that's why I keep receiving random letter Js in emails. Cuz Microsoft hasn't heard of Unicode.

AirPods come in frickin' useful when I'm at work.

I get prodded to quickly answer questions a lot, so being able to pop one out and have it automatically stop whatever music/video I have on is pretty useful; and having it automatically resume when I pop it back in even moreso.

For some reason I’m imagining people on Star Trek using the ship’s computer like it’s an Amazon Echo.

“You have three minutes, Commander, not a second more.”
“Computer, set a timer for three minutes.”
“Three minutes. Starting now.”

My political toots that got crossposted over to birdsite has seemingly sparked some wild debate between people I don't know whatsoever and I'm perfectly happy to just stay on Mastodon and not get involved whatsoever. 🙃️

I wish Siri Shortcuts supported making specific Bluetooth actions other than just turning it on and off. I mean, connecting to my earphones takes 3 taps, but I do it so much that reducing that to 1 or 0 would still be worth it.

And now we've managed to reproduce it on someone else's computer; so this is definitely not some glitch with me, this is actually something Google is doing.

Here's a video of me changing the value of a cookie in Chrome's Incognito Mode, causing the site to redact search results.

And reproduced in Firefox too. (Note: This didn't originally happen in Chrome or Firefox, I've instead found what information Google is reading to send back redacted results.)
