So picked up a couple of new Switch games this week.
They all looked interesting and I look forward to playing them. 🎮

So it’s a beautiful day out. Me and the kids are all outside enjoying this nice weather.
Then I see that the Boxboy! + Boxgirl! demo is out!
Switch in the garden it is! ❤️
So today I woke up at the hospital. I was rushed in last night after chest pains.
I feel fine now, but this was not the day I planned.
Liverpool 2 - Chelsea 0!
I’ve watched the goal by Mohamed Salah over and over. Surely a contender for goal of the year. ⚽️
For a while we’ve been working on solving problem A. During user research it became clear that our solution was a good one, but it was not a problem they had.
It improved existing functionality, but they would rather like us to solve problem B. 🤔
User research is important!
Time for a two hour discussion on Star Wars Episode IX teaser trailer thanks to The Incomparable.

A teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode IX has been released.
And it’s great.
Time to bring out some🍿and go frame-by-frame. As you do.
Independent Web
When I read Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman it felt life-altering. It totally changed my view on web development. (As I believe it has done for many developers.)
I got back to work fired up with ideas of how we could create better software using semantic html. And we did.
15 years later I’m still passionate about creating great accessible software for the web. But I’m surprised I still have to convince other developers that we have to use semantic html.
In Nothing Fails Like Success Zeldman talks about the complicated relationship between money and tech on the web.
And asks the question if IndieWeb can save us?
I ❤️ the movement, and hope to use Micro.blog for a very long time.
And hopefully piece by piece we can create the parts needed to never hear words like “let’s just put up a Facebook page” again.
Time for Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

Time to get home

Spring is here
Reading The 9 Rules of Design Research by Erika Hall, I was reminded of her great book Just Enough Research.
Just like the article, it’s a great introduction to design research.
I never imagined that I would be asked to paint nails on a near daily basis.
I watched the first episode of The OA last night.
I have to say I’m intrigued. The first episode definitely got me exited for more.
Yesterday came the teaser. Today we get the video premiere for Rammstein - Deutschland … in 55 minutes.
watchOS 5.2 has been released. It brings the ECG app to Europe.
Time to update.
Looks like the wait for more music from Rammstein is coming to an end. 🤘
Come this fall I suspect I will subscribe to Apple Arcade. If I don’t want it, my kids definitely will.
I got this 15 years ago. A great machine with great games.
I still enjoy playing on this from time to time. But recently it’s been my kids who use it the most. And I find that even more enjoyable. 🕹
