I wish more clients knew this. Awards are such a racket!
Has nobody in our industry connected the dots yet between having to pay for award entries and the same groups of people winning them every year?

The Christmas tree is still up. My flatmate @helloiamrob advocates keeping it up for "increased whimsy" during this lockdown. He's mad, right?

To be fair, the Enderman angel does seem pretty representative of the current mood.

This kind of bad practice is unfortunately still common in both agencies and tech startups. Often gets praised as "hustle" too. New people joining our industry deserve better.

It's time to upgrade my Mac. The SE/30 on the left has served me very well over the years, but the small monochrome screen is starting to limit my productivity. And the new ones come with a DVD player, a new PowerPC G4 and a built-in Ethernet and modem!

Every time I order something online from a high street shop it’s a reminder of why Amazon is so successful.

This should be obvious, but publicly dragging a competitor's name through the mud is not a good marketing strategy.
