Shoutout to the unsung #UX genius who designed a control on our laundry’s washing machines that is both a mode selector dial and a button, thus saving important real estate on the front panel.

As a bonus, if you press the button/dial just SLIGHTLY off-center, it reads it as a dial-turn and switches to a different mode from the one you had selected before starting the washer.

So if you just inadvertently washed your wool clothing on Hot, remember to thank an engineer today.

This rather distinguished individual was in a cat cafe on West Port, Edinburgh, Scotland.

"I came across your background recently and was genuinely impressed by the deptch [sic] of experience you've built in the digital space. Your profile reflects a strong mix of leadership, performance insight, and strategic thinking.”

Recruiter boilerplate: plumbing new depths of vacuity every day.

The question in my mind is, how do you feel when you read something like this as an opening? Do you want to read on? Or do you just instantly consign it to Junk?

GoDaddy is such a horror.

I stopped using them years ago when they became increasingly creepy.

Lately, however, they have spontaneously decided to send me monthly emails.

You can't opt out of the emails.

So I tried to delete my account.

They popped up a message to say I can't delete my account unless I delete all the products/services first.

I have no products/services with them.

Their help pages advertises 24/7 chat support.

There is no button to open a chat.

And so it continues …

This is just to say

I have eaten
the contaminated shrimp
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for some kind of fucked-up science experiment
Forgive me
they were delicious
so luminescent
and so radioactive
