The rule of drainpipes. If you're a photographer, you may have heard of it 🤣

Enjoy your weekend, people ☕️☀️

Always found Mastodon the least toxic social media platform.

That seems to have changed over the last few weeks. Lots of hate and anger here now 😢

Be kind. If you don’t like something, you can block or mute any account. Engaging in arguments simply makes the place feel like X/Twitter. And we all know how that turned out…

Three datasets, three stories — and a myriad of ways to unpack them. WordPress's market share decline is real, but the explanations dominating the conversation are simplistic. We decided to take a look.

I co-wrote a piece with Tom Greenwood asking a question neither of us could put down: are we still designing websites for humans?

Tom took the strategic view. I stayed in the code. Somewhere between the two, a snake started eating its own tail, and one afternoon of work turned out to matter more than we expected.

I love noticing little moments of symmetry as I travel on the London Underground network. I spotted this perfect alignment at Whitechapel station.

474 – Exploring the AI generation gap: why young people seem skeptical about AI

The conversation focused on generational attitudes towards AI, with a particular emphasis on skepticism among young people, how younger generations ideologically distrust big tech and perceive AI as "cheating," especially in creative fields like art and music. We also explored concerns about job displacement, changes in workplace efficiency, and the impact of AI on creative industries. Towa

Apologies I haven't been sharing much in the way of photos lately. My brain has been dunked in acid wash for the last few weeks while I plod through a couple of very large projects.

Having exhausted myself by digging myself into a ditch, has been hard to find the energy to try digging out again. I have been out to shoot a few photos, but then lacking the energy to edit them once I'm home. Sometimes we just need a break from the camera.

Anyhoo, here's a pigeon. The most successful species to adorn our city streets.

The State of WordPress Themes — An Analysis of 14,800 WordPress.org Themes (June 2026)
"One of the most-asked questions in WordPress 2026 is whether block themes — the architecture WordPress’s core team has championed since the Full Site Editing project began in late 2021 — have actually been adopted. The directory gives a remarkably clear answer: theme authors moved. Users didn’t."

Photography friends 👋🏻

Any experience/feedback on K&F Concept gear? I'm potentially looking at getting an ND filter and tripod from them.

They seem quite reasonably priced, and I'm on a tight budget, but I don't want them to end up being shit 💩

It will be for black and white long exposure work 📷

Or if you have any other recommendations, I'd be most grateful 🙏🏻
