Am sure this is what all my friends and family think I get up to at work... http://t.co/WYIBZqMIvM

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Tomb Raider and Myst - with Tomb Raider it was the scene I played in the dark when the first sign is the intermittent ripple of water indicating a massive monster is on the way and I had a huge feeling of impending doom 😂. Myst was just beautiful and I loved the puzzle solving.

@nisten @CharlesPattson @bbssppllvv I imagine the #frosted svg filter does a lot of heavy lifting which is likely a massive chunk of code in itself. Then there is possibly also extra css animation which adjusts behaviour based on scroll events and viewport position.

@Resmach55 @RichardDawkins Material reality hasn't evolved & the human species still reproduce through large & small gametes (males produce the small ones & females produce the large ones). No human has ever produced both where both function. There is no third sex and humans cannot change sex.

@MarilynHarding @unsplash Thanks for the thanks 😀

@HuinGuillaume Great story-telling. The long-form videos are killing it on YouTube when they have authenticity and great story-telling. This hits it all and with great cinematography too. Beautifully shot, fab editing, great story and quietly links the brand throughout.

@autodevot I'm not sure he would know as it would never have got past initial ideas and mockups. How did this get through all the focus groups etc? Who did they speak to? It looks like it's designed by AI rather than actual graphic designers who know about actual visual communication.

@webflow Having an absolute nightmare trying to delete & downgrade account. Would absolutely not recommend you due to how difficult it is to cancel. You've charged us another full year despite requesting complete deletion of account and all websites well before renewal date.

@Stepwalker @unsplash Thank you for the mention 🙏🙂 - can't believe it's been viewed 42 million times and downloaded almost half a million times! 🤯 It was my way of thanking the @unsplash community as I use their images so much myself.

If you’re in need of a smile, I’d like to remind you that one word for your intestines in the 14th century (first recorded in a translation of the Bible) was ‘arseropes’.

@Treacle_A 12/13 babysitting for local BFBS radio presenter and remember watching Jailhouse Rock, Breakfast Club, Class and St Elmo’s Fire many times over and eating boxes of Maltesers. Got paid 20DM (was living in Germany) Still in touch with family

@Treacle_A Hopefully they can do some hybrid working with plenty of home study as well as in-college teaching. That really worked well for my youngest. It was harder to secure the working from home post covid but she had a really good tutor & teachers who were supportive and helped a lot.

@livingthewordt1 @unsplash Thank you for the credit 🙏🙂

@joelondon76 @Eurostar @SimonCalder Really hope she recovered and that your lovely father in law was ok too. So awful for them :(

@BloggerBar @unsplash Thank you for the credit 😊

@seanpisano @andybudd That’s v sad. I like now how tools like figma and webflow are bridging some of the gaps between design and front end coding making handing over to dev more seamless. It helps designers to construct with structural code in mind.

We realised recently that some of our clients had no idea that we offer design services as well so KhooDesign is joining KhooSeller (ecommerce sites) and KhooCommerce (Amazon Vendor EDI and PO/ASN Management).

@immaggi @babybeginner I donated milk to a local hospital for premature babies at one point but haven’t known of anyone actually nursing someone else’s baby. Possibly happens more in developing countries where water contamination makes formula dangerous.

[emma simpson @ESDesignisms]

@GuduleMartens @thames_pilgrim @babybeginner Exactly! I drank no alcohol, no coffee, no tea, didn’t take any meds at all not even paracetamol and didn’t even use body lotion containing certain things which would transfer to the milk. I did that for five to six years! I had chicken pox at one point but remained unmedicated.
