I had my heart attack in 2019, and Nitin Sawhney created a beautiful piece documenting his experience of a heart attack. I wasn't expecting that last night, and the first and third movements were so close to how I felt. Unfortunately I only got paracetamol in the ambulance 😂

I discovered at lunchtime that nobody has yet written a review of Nitin Sawhney's Heart Suite. So I popped something on my blog: davidcoveney.com/301288/a-revie…

I was doing a bit of baked beans research (long story) and came across this car, a modified Wolseley Crayford Hornet Convertible. It's, erm, interesting. Apparently Heinz gave away 57 of these. But thankfully they didn't come quite like this. Photo by andreboeni on Flickr.

The team has done an absolutely amazing job Design Week to pull this together - we asked 25 designers for one big idea each for the coming year. designweek.co.uk/category/25-id…

Interesting...

I know I'm a liberal. It turns out that the philosophy that underlies my approach to the world is known as Meliorism. Pragmatic, try to understand the data, and keep making steady progress towards a better future. Not too pessimistic nor optimistic. Just crack on.

I know AI gets a lot of stick for being dumb, and it really is... but for certain types of problem it's ace. e.g. quickly tagging content, or writing alt-text and meta descriptions for our DESIGN THINKING! Comic strips. Just incredibly productive and a time saver.

That's me done for 2024. The support inboxes are empty, the servers are ticking along, and I'm healthy and kicking. I did a bit of a blog. davidcoveney.com/301369/2024-a-…

I don't really pay much attention to very rich people, but lately I've started to wonder if they're collectively under a lot of stress or something. Oh well. Never mind.

Great campaign, but the comments reveal the levels of stupidity in a lot of the people on this mess of a platform. They're not reading even the link preview which gives a hint as to why sanitary bins can be useful for men.

It's why we're able to run and manage everything ourselves and run secondary repo. I always knew there was a single point of failure and I really don't like single points of failure. Probably hits our profit margins, but hey... I like to sleep!

The responses under this tells you all you need to know about the state of this cursed website.

Why I distrust cloud systems, like to test everything off the cloud, and reason that you need to work carefully and closely with developers that you know well. It's so easy to end up with life changing bills and techbros now need to get profits back on their platforms...

I'm still a bit of a Nokia fanboy, so this coming up on Design Week gave me a little lift this week. designweek.co.uk/four-nokia-des…

I wrote a thing about about WordPress and forks. Some musings, really. And why my firm isn't in a mad rush to jump to one, regardless of all the drama. But the reasons may not be what you think... davidcoveney.com/301429/will-th…

I'm breaking my Twitter vow of silence in order to give this important story a boost.

So MAGA are all saying Pope Leo is a woke Pope and they don't like him. Yet he was voted for entirely by men. Men who have a lot of opinions about women's reproductive rights. And that's a hive of wokeness? Yeah right.
