I bought my gf tickets to 30 Seconds to Mars for her birthday but they’re digital only so I had to make my own

I don’t know much about photography or photo editing, but I took this at the weekend and edited it in Lightroom and I’m pretty happy with the result 😌 #Photography #Lightroom

Picked these up from a charity shop earlier. I don’t know anything about comics but they seem to be first in their series and the covers looked cool so thought I’d give them a go 🤷‍♂️ #ComicBooks

Had a dream that if you used the Apple Magic Trackpad, your cursor became a little hand like the one from The Addams Family and if you were presenting something, the hand became life size, and when you touched a finger on the trackpad, that finger on the cursor would point at what you were presenting

It also made little scurrying and footstep noises if you swiped around the trackpad quickly

Not sure if this will reach the right people but I just wanted to give a shoutout to the folks working on design documentation. I'm still fairly new to the world of design systems but I'm learning so much just by looking through others' examples 🤗

It’s 8pm on a Friday night, I’m in my pyjamas, got a hot chocolate, watching Prehistoric Planet and reorganising my notes app 🤓 this is how you do your 30s right?

Is there a dribbble but for UI copy?

Twitter changes API pricing, tweetbot shut down, I leave twitter

Reddit changes API pricing, Apollo shuts down (?), I leave Reddit (?)

Just a few more API price changes and I’ll be free from the living nightmare that is social media 😌😌😌😌

Curried cauliflower, mango mayo and pomegranate vegan croissant 🤤 (I did not make this myself but bought it from my local cafe because I feel obliged to try every new vegan item they create)
