No images. No JavaScript. No SASS.
Fully turn-off-and-on-able!

here's a thread about my new game project. i'll be dancing around the coolest bits because I want to save that for the big reveal, which isn't going to happen for a while because I'm waiting to make sure it is 100% coming out before announcing.
it isn't set in the Hypnospace universe
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading!
I wish I‘d had the time in February to recommend more in my article, but in lieu of that, I can *highly* recommend checking out *anything* by Mitch Murder. It’s more so synthwave than vapourwave, but it’s so colourful and rich and beautiful. He never misses.
Here's the consultation i mentioned at #sotb26 I'm not kidding when I told you that the regularlors love to hear from developers rather than lobbyists. Doesn't need to be a structured doc. You can be anonymous. They simply want hear to your view. brucelawson.co.uk/2026/on-appl...
2 days to go until #SotB26!

Many developers misinterpret what the DevTools performance test results tell them. My video below explains how Chrome implements network throttling and how it impacts your data.
Neither the bandwidth nor the latency implementation match what you'd see on a real slow network.

Only one month until State of the Browser, and I will once again be organising, but this year I’ll be there in-person! 🥳
Looking forward to amazing talks, meeting old pals, and making new ones. Less than 15 in-person tickets left. Hope to see you there!

please do! I feel like you'd give yourself such an interesting journey that I selfishly want to read really badly! 😬
Are you a fan of #grunge? Tell me what to listen to this month!
I’m dedicating each month this year to spending some time exploring and listening to music from genres outside my usual rotations, with one genre per month.

Temporal is the Date system we always wanted in JavaScript. It's extremely close to being available so Mat Marquis thought it would be a good idea to explain exactly what is better about this new JavaScript date system.

Why was the squid laughing?
Because it had ten tickles!
The roof of my apartment has a leak, and building management could not be more reluctant to actually fix it.
Anyway, I've spent the last eight hours mopping up under leaking walls, piling towels against skirting boards, and doing laundry.
*Awesome* Friday! 🤙
This is AMAZING!
Absolutely *love* the animation scenes, the light/dark colour schemes (and colour choices) are gorgeous, and I *must* say that the level of attention to detail to go so far as to customise even the illustrations to match the colour scheme is just chef’s kiss! 👨🍳👌
🌞 Colour Scheming 🌝
Published a new article on the ol’ blog. In this one, I talk about how I manage colour schemes on my website, walking through how to build a hierarchy of how colour schemes can be applied while respecting visitors’ colour scheme preferences.

I *loved* Silo. One of the best shows I've watched in a good while. I also watched Fallout around the same time, which was definitely interesting to compare. Can't wait for both shows' 2nd series!
The 3rd weak note* is now published!
