I swear half my workday is just waiting for this to finish, getting frustrated, and then reloading.

Design stuff. Dog dad to Yuzu. Plays a lot of video games.
There is a famous quote about design from former Jaguar and Tata motors head, Ralf Speth: “If you think good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design.” Nowhere is this more true than in healthcare. www.hardproblems.com/articles/hid...
The hidden costs of bad design
In fields like public health, education, and climate action, poor design is undermining success.

This is Fenrir. He has not yet been successful in cuddling with the cat. But thinks if he goes slow enough she might not notice. 13/10 (IG: fenrirfanclub)
Building a gaming PC in the year of our lord 2026 and whew, glad I have some RAM in an old machine I can salvage.
We were trying to figure out how old my partner’s phone was so I asked Siri, “When did the iPhone 15 come out?” *thirty second wait* “You can find all information about Apple products on Apple.com” 💀

Just found out that Om Malik passed away. :( He's the reason my blog first took off and I owe a big part of my career trajectory to him. Whenever we'd meet up in NYC he was always so kind and helpful. I still remember the day he RT'd my post and my phone spent an hour vibrating off the table.
Not much better than the sound of my dog smacking his lips contentedly while he falls asleep.
So jealous of the lawyer who had this walk into their office..
Commissioned @lifeinpixelz.bsky.social to make a Dina, the Soul Steeper pixel illo for my Magic: the Gathering site I've been working on. She crushed it.
Bought a tray of uni this weekend on a lark. Made uni pasta tonight and uh holy smokes.
Each morning, I spend 45 min searching for design and product jobs at orgs that actually make the world a bit better. E.g., today I saw that Genomics England is hiring a senior service designer. I think we already have one of the best job boards for designers: www.hardproblems.com/jobs

I love how AMC trailers are now 1. Trailers 2. Ad for Amazon 3. More trailers 4. AMC ad telling you you’re at a movie 5. AMC ad reminding you that you’re at a movie 6. 5-sec cut of Nicole Kidman reminding you you’re at the movies 7. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE 8. Did you know you’re at the movies
With the Google search enshittification, definitely suggest Kagi, if you're looking for something new. Been paying for them for a long time now and it is so worth it. Have never needed to go back to Google or any other search engine and the experience is clean and respectful.
I don’t mean to brag, but my dental hygienist told me I have “great hygiene.” I think this means I’m excused from ever going to the dentist again.
Hii! There's the line-up of Slay The Spire 2 characters! The Defect is finally here! Those sprites may change in the future, but I'm satisfied for now. #pixelart #slaythespire2 #sts2 #art #fanart #slaythespire @megacrit.com
Three times today, someone has started sharing design work with me by saying, "You're not going to like this..." It's nice to be known.
