Thanks for everything you've done to help build S&E to what it is today! I've got my entire group going to all all three, even Squirrels are coming to Discover to get a feel for an event like this πŸ‘

I'm going to get back on this over the weekend. It's almost ready to go live, just need to change the auth from app password to sign in with @bsky.app.

We're a fully remote team at Sorryβ„’, which I love.

But there's something that happens when we're actually in the same room that async just can't replicate. My CEO was in town this week and a few days of that energy carries you for months.

Remote is the future. But presence still matters.

It's Friday! Been quiet on here as I've been busy with website bits! One of the exciting things I launched this week was a new app design for Scout Pages πŸ‘‡

Different weekend… went to paint your own pottery with friends. I chose this skateboard and used freckle paints. Not the straightest lines (iykyk) but pleased! Picking up on Wednesday after being in the kiln.

How's your Friday going?

Just shipped my first recipes to AT Protocol πŸš€ Building BlueRecipes - a recipe platform where you own your data. Lives on your PDS, not some company's server.

Early days but it works. Ship fast, own forever. πŸ§‘β€πŸ³

Why waste time building your own landing page and shoving a form on to collect people wanting to try? Check out WaitShip πŸ‘‡

πŸ‘‹ morning luna. going to paint your own pottery tomorrow with friends as it was our Christmas presents to each other - something different we've not done before! Sunday, planning to have a lazy day and work on a new little project. what about you?

no worries, wasn't hinting to jump the queue - drafting up posts anyway so gives me time to polish those 😁

Oh wow, excited for @offprint.app πŸš€ Super clean landing page @aka.dad - can't wait to get my hands on for my new blog!

🧭 I needed a new AirTag for my keys (use one for my backpack/suitcase) so grabbed the new Gen 2 on launch day. Got this cute little knit loop from mophie too!

🐢 It's official! On the 2nd of March, I will officially be a puppy socialiser for Dogs for Good... and have my own puppy to train! She will be with me for 18 months, and is a lab/retriever cross πŸ₯°

Me too, sadly not over in Vegas though πŸ˜‚ I would rather be there than here in England with this freezing weather!

In other news today … I had my home visit with Dogs for Good to finalise becoming a puppy socialiser! Several weeks time I’ll have a puppy bouncing around the house 🐢

First day of CES, as always Aqara making heads turn! Few of my favs:

πŸšͺ Smart Lock U400 - Killer feature? UWB! Unlocks as soon as you are 6 feet away! It’s Apple Home key supported too!

♨️ W200 thermostat - 4-inch touchscreen & supports Apple’s Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance feature

Happy New Year πŸ₯³ It's been a while since I last posted here. I took a two-week trip to the Caribbean, then Christmas and New Year. I'm back now, focus in 2026 is use @bsky.app a lot more as my main social account πŸ’ͺ

I used the 30 day get out clause, stood my ground and moved. I’ve gone with honest, the auto switching between providers giving me 5G pretty much everywhere is just the icing on the cake!

Creating an "agents.md" file but for social media content. Definitely an interesting one I've been tasked with but the aim is to use AI to help us use existing content and help shape up a 4-6 week schedule.

So, I failed this over the weekend. I was so motivated at the beginning, I then got to Saturday night and got burnt out. I also think there are more worthwhile platforms out there that have built incredibly engagement so adding another pre-launch tool doesn't make sense.

There are a few but either bombarded with so many products it's difficult to get any traction though them; long waiting times to be approved; and complicated UI. Tease Launch is curated weekly and the design kept simple πŸ’ͺ
