I have more ideas than I will ever build. For years that felt like a personal failing. Now it just feels like a supply problem, and I have finally found the machinery to deal with it. Here is the honest version. I know basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and lately

The Grievance I’ve developed a new, highly specific superpower. I can look directly at a screen and completely, deliberately unfocus my eyes the millisecond a banner ad drops down. Let’s be brutally honest: modern digital advertising is an absolute disaster. When I open an app and a full-

I recently fell down a research hole involving a 1986 TRRL (Transport and Road Research Laboratory) report from Tomorrow's World (remember that? = you're old.), and honestly, I haven't been the same since. We often think of tech progress as a straight line, but looking

The new UK government digital ID scheme has sparked fierce debate. Critics warn of a surveillance state. But in truth, your personal data is already stored digitally at banks, government services, and private organisations every time you submit scans of passports, utility bills or bank statements.

YouTubers such as DJ Cummerbund, ThereIRuinedIt, Bill McClintock, Frog Leap Studios (Leo Moracchioli) and more, show what a human ear can do. They hear tiny harmonic or rhythmic links and force two songs to talk. The result is a mashup or cover that keeps a human pulse: timing choices, ironic

Instead of fixing eyes, it sends signals straight to the brain’s visual cortex through a flexible mesh of hair-thin electrodes. Imagine a tablet-sized implant under your skull, connected by threads thinner than a human hair. Each thread carries electrical pulses that light up specific spots in your

Apple’s WWDC 2025 keynote introduced Liquid Glass, a new design system spanning all its platforms. It promises consistency and adaptability, with translucent elements that shift dynamically under user interaction. I've been playing with transparency and blur for a little while and the announcement had me exploring why
