Well, the new season of Queer Eye had me in tears from the off!
I know one thing. I walk a whole lot faster without a dog there to hold me up.
It's that time of the week. Brew your beverage of choice, grab a snack, and take a pew.
This week:
- The rant I deleted (but kind of didn't)
- How I approach my work
- Random thoughts on recruiters and album lists
- Great music

A Jack Russel on a beach with windy ears.
Just for the hell of it, here’s my dog Murdo on his favourite beach, ears flying in the wind.

Been talking about the future of content design with @niacampbell.bsky.social and @adrianortega.bsky.social…

Do you ever wish that you could hear a song for the first time again?
Currently sitting in a cafe and Dreams by Fleetwood Mac is playing, I love it, but equally I’ve heard it too many times….and it makes me a wee bit sad to be a little bored of it!
Had the pleasure of doing a talk with @calvinlau.bsky.social for #ContentClub earlier this week.
We talked about spreading content design skills across our team, to enable Calvin to focus on the areas where his expertise can deliver the most value.
Episode 3 of #TheLastofUs is some of the best telly ever.
