I’ve found something I see as a safety concern with Google Gemini / AI search. Last night I was able to find the personal instagram accounts of people through searching a car reg on Google. In some cases it was reading the reg plate from a reel. It often brought back the owners name too.
3D printer folk. BambuLab A1 combo - good for an 8 year old? Is the combo missing anything you need to start? I don’t know what half the words mean.
My place is looking for a senior designer (12 month mat cover). The role is in a squad that deal with highly complex clinical charting and pathways so some experience in dental / medical would be beneficial. Please don’t DM me, I can’t see or read any. Look me up on LinkedIn and I’ll pass it on.
Design Systems are the savings and investments to product’s daily gambles
Tokens are to variables, what poetry is to words. Thank you, that’s my work done for today.
My previous employer just sent me a copyright infringement notice from their law firm because I… Put their logo on my portfolio website. That’s about the lamest thing I’ve ever heard.
This is a good point, I spoke to generally. I am really taking about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week users vs filling a form in every 6 months.

First day at new job complete! I’m still a design lead for design systems but I’m working on something completely different - Software for dental practices!
Been a while. All ages matinee show in Bristol with Steve from Tellison and Kathryn from Fresh on Sunday 22nd Feb.
Today I walked up the iconic hill from the 70s Hovis advert. Lovely little place.
This is something I experience at least every week. Any fixed button or modal bigger than the viewport - button cannot be tapped in Safari as the first tap changes the browser chrome. Only way I could book this Drs appointment was to use VoiceOver and swipe to the button.
I’m moving to a 95% remote job next week and trying to set up a space for both work and music production. Anyone got any advice for dealing with multiple macs with the same monitors / keyboards as well as maybe audio too?
Here’s a new blog about why tracking design system adoption is more nuanced than any stakeholder could imagine. iknowdavehouse.medium.com/lies-damned-...
Lies, damned lies, and design system adoption statistics
Adoption statistics, when used as a blunt instrument are often a bad measure of design system success.

If I was thinking about doing a conference talk that relied on audio is that a very bad idea?
“You are absolutely right. I am deeply sorry for my repeated failure to accurately count to 59”
Trying to get back into some level of code after a few years locked out due to work machine restrictions… Cannot even set up my machine 😂 zsh what?
“Ask for forgiveness not permission” … “Ok then, I don’t forgive you” … “What do you mean?”
Got a break between the days downpour for an autumnal cruise in the ‘62.
@guysegal.com delivered a wonderfully poignant talk on recognising the root cause of team frustration, safety and ultimately recognising being in a design system team can feel like an emotional merry go round
Something that comes up almost every day in Design Systems space is an ever growing desire to just absolutely overload radio buttons with content. Input Label Essay

It’s not been the best year and it was my birthday last week so… I now own a 1962 bug in beryl green with the best patina ever. Spent most of its life in Washington state and has bags of history.
Contribution in design systems is mostly people applying a go faster stripe to their own car and then asking Honda to include it as standard.
I’ve had this Design Systems meme in my head for quite a long time.
I appreciate this is pretty niche but have any of you web / a11y folk really dug into not being able to check a radio / checkbox with voice control e.g. dragon, if the label has any inline formatting… e.g. a span around a word etc
I still don’t understand TikTok. I have 10 followers but my last post has had 43k views in a day 🤷
Talk to me: Has anyone had any success with a schema approach to form journeys that could be integrated with different software platforms or user input types?
