One of the side effects of working on the Fairfax CMS’s edit screen for almost 18 months is I can’t help but think of data entry as I read the news. For some reason, a lot of images on the dev site were from Hamilton the Musical. I still see this too.

I’ve been sitting on a redesign forever & now tempted to get the functionality down and fukkit do it live for the theme.

Finally finished Playdead’s Inside on iOS and now I’m tempted to buy a console. The wise thing to do would be to play some similar games first.

I’m really bored shitless of Book of Morman think pieces marveling how kind it is to religion but failing to mention the jokes punch down; the POC are gullible & one dimensional; and the hurrah moment is white guys saving the day for the silly Africans.

From afar it’s easy to find the US’s gun obsession kind of bizarre & definitely foreign… until I remember my nieces are doing active shooter drills while their representatives effectively fine Delta for discontinuing their NRA discount. #MarchForOurLives

I’ve been thinking a lot about Found/Tonight and how perfect The Story of Tonight and You Will Be Found are for @AMarch4OurLives. My US friends and the students leading it should be proud of their influence. I wish they didn’t need to be.

This month’s Hamildrop is also a Hansendrop and how am I meant to sleep now?! (Europe & America, just you wait) https://youtu.be/4s9Td2ZAyT8

Right, Joe, I’ve always been right.

So you’re telling me you’ve always been a CSS pedant?

@AirbnbHelp asks: after finding out bedroom blinds are not required & neither is listing their presence or absence, would I recommend their service?

Honestly, I’d have to say I’d recommend against it.

Turns out my irrational fear I’d get used to hotel swipe cards and lock myself out within hours of getting home was rational after all. Genius.
