I've started a newsletter One of my favourite things to do while working at ReedPop was getting to send our weekly all-hands "product update" emails.

I've started a gentle newsletter about web development -- performance, process and culture, and associated topics. It’s informal, infrequent, and (hopefully) useful. Subscribe if you're into that sort of thing.

Improving perceived load times with client-side preloading and view transitions Applying two separate -- and low effort! -- frontend technologies to your site can improve its perceived load times and give people a nicer experience.

I've been playing around with client-side prefetching and the CSS View Transitions API. Big fan of both!

Spent some time in the Newcastle branch of NQ64 this weekend. Absolutely love these spaces. Completed Time Crisis 2, completed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, played some DDR, and had a round of Golden Tee Golf. Four hours whizzed by. We need one in Brighton!

Super Switch would have been a great historical nod to the best console ever

Had to do this once with the Wii - we were calling it the Revolution for quite a while!

Did a seven mile walk in the snow last night to collect/rescue my daughter after the snow closed the roads between her school and our home. A memorable evening, weirdly fun and beautiful walking across the downs!
