Why have I only just heard about this event?

The Last Quiet Thing Your possessions came alive. Now they won't stop talking.

This is beautiful. Don't think I'm wearing my "smart" watch to bed tonight.

Closed this off as I was mostly looking for recommendations. Have found some now. Thank you.

Is there anybody in my network who is a brand designer looking for a small job for a good friend of mine? It's for her new company she's setting up for contracting.

I do also have train tickets from Long Eaton (could also probably travel from Derby/Notts using these), and a hotel stay in the speaker Travelodge (although I don't think you can technically transfer this) for the night before and after.

Please if you know anyone who would want that too...

I'm having a really rough time right now, and I know seeing people would help, but I also know the travel and hotel stays and all of the elements combined would probably be worse for my health in the long run.

I'm burnt out rn and I need to rest 😮‍💨

I don't know if there's a way I can gift or transfer my ticket to someone who may need or want it?

I don't want an empty seat there, so if that's possible, please let me know and I'd be happy to transfer my ticket to the event.

I really really don't want to, but I don't think I have the mental energy at the moment to travel to London this weekend for @londonwebstandards.org State of the Browser.

I'm regretful, because I really want to see all the talks and spend time with some good people, but for my own health it's best.

I mean in terms of visuals and written content to accompany.

I don't want essays of content, but would like to have it detailed enough.

Designer pals, I'd like to update my website with some nice portfolio work.

Any advice on what I should put on there?

I'd like to focus on web design projects, including UX and UI.

I want to say these are leftover... but they're actually NEW chocolates someone brought into the office. They also brought in Lindor chocs too but I feel like they're year round delights.

It feels illegal to eat a Ferrero Rocher in February

Opening Ceremony Performance | 2026 Pokémon Europe International Championships YouTube video by The Official Pokémon YouTube channel

Oh man. I want to be thrilled about this but yeah... not right now. That's disappointing.

Sidenote, he played at the European Pokemon International Championships at the weekend while I was competing. It was really cool.

Always loved this entire album, but ...Meltdown has never been more relevant than right now.

Also if you stopped listening to Shikari after their first album I urge you to return – they're better than ever.

Music, yes.
Podcasts... absolutely not.

Me when I even consider building my own website.

I actually would love to deliver this as a full workshop one day, but I fear I might never get the time to make that a reality.

Also unsure if that's even a thing developers would want, or employers would pay for so...

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

On 9 January 2026 mine and my family's lives changed forever.
I tell the full story in this video: youtu.be/mNEPSWcOheY

If you want to support my family as well as our local community, consider sharing this post, or donating here: www.gofundme.com/f/we-lost-al...

Can't wait for this event! Lineup looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new ones.

The Epstein-ification of it all.

I haven't been in forever but it held a special place in my heart, and I'm not even a big train person.

Ooh is this the Railway Museum in York?
