I believe the big bang happens repeatedly, like a heartbeat. I'm another one of those bass-playing (https://nathanielflick.bandcamp.com/album/dusk) UX Engineers (nathanielflick.com) who believes in accessibility and inclusion for all.

I can recommend these. I'm perennially amazed that so many of my more (ahem) vintage friends go to gigs without earplugs. You might not use them every time, but you really want the option.
On a friendly note, it's difficult times, workwise. If you were ever thinking about getting some really nice earplugs for that gig you've got tickets for, I'd love you to consider mine. They're very good, I just quite suck at *checks* spending money on advertising.

These are the best value earplugs you can find in Aotearoa! 'Earplugs' is not the right word here - strictly speaking, they're attenuators...

What's up, @bsky.app, is an entirely pointless user interface change that just takes up screen space.

To all the news orgs and people in government saying things are looking up, at best we've hit bottom. At best.

@bsky.app why have a What’s up field if I already have the blue pencil button?

Dammit.

Well said! It's a duck's paradise.
Nice weather for ducks.

Make sure your website's copyright year automatically updates. Saw one example where a client site still said 2025 and the design company's site said 2024. *facepalm*

This weather in NZ is wild, but also not unexpected. Climate change in action.

State of UX in 2026
UX faced instability from layoffs, hiring freezes, and AI hype; now, the field is stabilizing, but differentiation and business impact are vital.

The ROI of Cohesion
When you build a design system, people eventually ask the same question: “So… what’s the ROI?”

If you need me I'm here digging up insurance quotes like it's a full-time job. :)
January 16, 2026 at 12:28 AM
Insurance. Why does everyone use a slightly different form?
January 16, 2026 at 12:20 AM
I'm embarking on my design consultancy business this year! Exciting but lots to learn. Anyone else I know been through this process?

I've got accounting and GST mostly sorted and am getting insurance quotes for indemnity. Anything else I should consider?
