I saw a waymo drive past as I came out of Gospel Oak station yesterday afternoon
A fox laying down on a bush in our garden looking straight at the camera with the wispy branches of an acer tree in the foreground
Hereβs a fox napping in our garden here in Walthamstow #FoxOfTheDay
Iβve had this Bellroy one with two diff iPhones bellroy.com/products/ven... and I like the ruggedness/bulk of it. Friends tease me about the lanyard thing but it is useful!
Yeah it caught me out for a while and then I had to go around dropping that in. Nice how well it works though. Happy new year!
Yeah you see it all over the place. The fix is to not use `height 100%` but to use the newish dvh (dynamic view height) which changes based on browser chrome so `height: 100dvh`
Hereβs it in action on a basket overlay, the overlay changes when the chrome pops in and out on scroll
Currently divesting myself from Vercel. I replatformed gif.land over the weekend. It was Next.js on Vercel and itβs now Astro and Cloudflare. I put a little note up on my blog about the transition jonheslop.com/posts/2025/d...
It was my first time building anything with Astro, itβs really nice!
A photograph of me clutching an envelope and paper on my balcony. The paper is a risograph printed and posted by Robin Sloan. You can see the start of the title, it reads βReality hasβ
Some wonderful mail has arrived from @robinsloan.com!

Iβve managed 4 weeks of week notes β jonheslop.com/posts/2025/1...
Probably speaking too soon, but I might be finally be getting into the rhythm of it gif.land/rudd-work.gif
The day Tweetbot died was the day I stopped using Twitter - looking forward to this
All the ones pulled up on the border with Tottenham outside the ferry π
Nah itβs good. I want to know if Severance universe Dieter Rams is OK with his designs being used by a clearly unethical company and if he will come out as anti severing
The meme of Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, sitting in front of his TV excitedly pointing at it.
Watched ep 7 of Severance last night and this was me every time the VitsΕ shelves or chair came on screen
This weeks week notes - been a glorious weekend of sunshine and shellfish foraging here in West Wales

Biffy Clyroβs 2002 single β57β is Simon Neilβs love song to Heinz tomato sauce
Iβve posted week notes for the first time in a year: jonheslop.com/posts/2025/8...
I talk about zwift, sunshine and gif.land
Iβve been reading a lot more RSS lately and wanted to get back into the habit of posting more often myself
This is really nice, been using all morning and it works really well
A few times a year I will have a day where I listen to:
β’ Underoath - Only Chasing Safety
β’ The Used - The Used
β’ Funeral for a Friend - Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation
And I _still_ love it (I am 37 years old)
Inspired by @ethanmarcotte.com, Iβve made a silly new website called gif.land β an online home for all my favourite GIFs. Itβs glued together with Cloudflare R2, a @tur.so SQLite DB and next.js. Iβve blogged about it too: jonheslop.com/posts/2025/gif-land
Well good. Also have not heard Beirut in a long time. Which reminded me I used to love this vid youtu.be/R781LDKOVJE which is 17 years old π
I think this is the closest approximation bsky.app/profile/flas... (coming soon) thereβs also this pixelfed.org Iβve not tried either.
I do really like retro.app though! Itβs not really like instagram but its a nice way to share photos with friends
Ahaha canβt believe we havenβt talked about this
I love twiglets but they are also totally mental. So dry, so twig like. Imagine offering them to someone who didnβt know the concept nor grown up with them.
International Supermarket is where itβs at for veg
This is amazing

Proper good list β

It turned out, my dad was staying up at night addicted to Descent. I eventually found out. They thought I would get obsessed but I didnβt get it.
