1 Oct, 2014. You know that thing where you need to find a special character and have to go searching ugly Unicode table websites that haven’t been updated for 15 years? I made notonyourkeyboard.com. Unfortunately it sucks a bit on mobile as copying content is so clunky – on desktop with Flash it’s just one click to copy the character.

18 Mar, 2015. I needed to use a the sms: link protocol the other day and as it’s a rare bit of HTML I thought I’d record what I found.

Last night I read Langdon Winner’s 1980 essay “Do artifacts have politics? That Engels sees as oppressive, more so than the politics of the factory owners. Winner summarises:. It’s pretty clear that the internet and web have caused society to adopt. Increasingly complicated technical systems as its material basis. So does that come hand in hand with. It’s an i...
