Where am I?
I am based in Northumberland, close to Hadrian’s Wall. You can find upcoming conference travel on Notist.
Current focus
My role at Google as content lead for Chrome Web Developer Relations, working on web.dev and developer.chrome.com.
Running up massive hills and avoiding cows.
Creating a garden from the blank canvas of my new house, and doing various ill-advised DIY tasks.
Being generally annoying to my three cats.
On the Atmosphere
Find my latest posts on Bluesky, Grain, or Sifa.
I agree but a PR was closed that would have made it so, issue is here if you want to comment on it github.com/GoogleChrome...
I live in an amazing place. It's worth the run up a giant hill and a wade through sharp reeds for this view.
@offprint.app I have a newsletter on Ghost and would like to import my back issues into offprint, I saw that Atmosphere Community did this so hoping I can save a lot of copy and paste!
Yeah I've just upgraded from the Pixel 9 Pro, they are really nice cameras (which is the most important phone feature for me!)

Introducing panto to non-Brits is an absolute joy. Not the big professional ones, a small touring production. Or even better an example of the absolute chaos that goes down in village halls across the nation in January.
If they are baffled by the concept of a grotto your next move should be to produce a panto.
You can try to get round it by publishing short takes on bigger pieces, in the hope they act as a hook. The majority though just consume the key points without context and nuance and that doesn't tend to take the conversation in a positive direction.
