An in-progress project looking to create a CSS reset that creates modern defaults, rather than just focusing on standardising behaviour across browsers or removing irritating legacy features in …

It's become something of a tradition in our university friend group to get together for an early-summer party and watch the Grand National horse race, ostensibly because a couple of the group have …

The GOV.UK UX and design team are fascinating. Every time I've had to use the website I've found it a breeze, which is an enormous achievement on their behalf. Better yet, they're incredibly …

A simple tweak that simplifies the common approach to "lists that don't look like lists" with HTML/CSS and sidesteps any semantic/accessibility concerns. …

Ashur has voiced something I've been doing for years: feed readers may be efficient, but that efficiency robs websites of their individuality. I've long had sites that I subscribe to but …

It is Christmas Eve and the penultimate week of the New 52 challenge! There's a nice symmetry to that, which, of course, is why I picked today to write a post... and nothing to do with it being the …

Remy has some good arguments for why TypeScript can be just as much of an issue as it is a benefit. I've personally got a love/hate relationship with the abstraction, so it's always good to have some …

Fourth on the list is a simple article from Martian Craft outlining "The Importance of Routine". The post is aimed at remote works and is far from news to me, but it is a well-written example of how …

In third place is a collection of 'achievement' stickers doing the rounds of the blogosphere right now. Originally designed by Jeremy Nguyen, published on The New Yorker and personally discovered via …

Seth has put together what he calls …

Seth reckons there are three ways to track whether people are working …

An overview of the state of media queries and accessible overrides (page zoom, text zoom, min/max font size settings etc.), seeking to determine which of em, rem, or px is the best option. Turns out …

100 words a day, for 100 days. That's the challenge that Jeremy Keith has just completed, inspiring my own …

Surely I'm not alone in wanting YouTube playlist …

Today contained dull, "adult" stuff regarding accounts and filing. Not very inspiring, but a good excuse to test Spotify's latest feature: Discover …

Yesterday's 100 words almost didn't happen. I wasn't too busy, disinterested or forgetful; I had a database …

My new PC is up and running and starting to be "just right" (we'll get to further details later, I promise), so one of the big "new" things I've got for the new year is a subscription to Adobe CC - …

Toshl is one of those weird little apps that, on paper, appear extremely useful but which I've never quite clicked with. On at least three separate occasions over the past year I've signed up for a …

So I've owned a set of Logitech z4 2.1 desk speakers for about five years now, ever since a good friend of mine effectively gave them to me because they couldn't fit in his car. They remain one of …

Last month I wrote up a post detailing the films I'd seen in March. When I initially started blogging again last year I had hoped that mini-reviews and similar content would become a mainstay, …

Just stumbled onto a recent analysis of the current generation, top end iMac (2016) and an equivalent cost (~$4,000) custom built PC, pitched head-to-head in a selection of Lightroom tasks such as …

Have you ever heard of Marc van Roosmalen? No, I hadn't either - although that is slightly less surprising for you, unless you also have a degree with a heavy focus on primatology. So who is this …

CSS? Fonts? Italics? Sidebars? What witchcraft is this? Is this not theAdhocracy, the home of plain HTML and nothing more (despite the clear problems associated with that)? Well: yes! But at …

Today's lunch started no differently to any other. Grab some food, open Internet Explorer (I know, it's not by choice...) and fire up theOldReader to chip away at the ever mounting pile in my inbox. …

Looking back over what I've previously written about Last.fm is a little, well, shameful. Since as long ago as July 2015 I've been noting how the service has a large void: analog music. I love having …
