@pineynz Would Ifill be a contender for the #1 job, given his domestic success?

Chris Greenacre set to takeover (again) as WPX interim head coach. The players also need a hype-man as assistant; someone to lift the energy in the dressing room, speak passionately from experience, tell some stories, motivate and elevate the players. Come on down Paul Ifill.

@jonathontoon “Excuse me, does this come in black?”

Never have I visited a Kmart as much as I have since becoming a parent. The 'Anko' mafia's pull is strong.

@r_yanwalker First and last icons feel like they will be interactive, so I’d explore variations of the middle personally

Struggling with a UI challenge If you were working through a process and you chose to skip a step because it wasn't neccesary What icon best shows that it had been skipped?

Ok I can't help myself. IMO: It's helpful we're discussing the exciting possibilities of what this next generation of tools will offer us, and how we should expand how we think about our roles as designers. But it's harmful when we go about it with the same "prove me wrong", "RIP X" divisive energy that social media loves so much, instead of encouraging level-headed curious discussion. It's giving "crypto is here, goodbye traditional financial system", or "mobile is here, if you're still designing for desktop you're doing it wrong" — we can do SO much better than this attention seeking bs. Let's not divide by proselytizing the "only right way to do design". We grow by expanding, not contracting. Learning, not dictating. Yes, there is a shift happening. We can build our ideas easier than ever before like engineers. We can research markets and make sense of large piles of complex information/insights like PMs. In the long run I think it'll be less about roles anyway and more about parts of a process — these new skills should bring us closer together in recognizing we're all just makers; we're here to build wonderful things that solve real problems for people. So please let's remember designing is more than just drawing rectangles. It's more than a single point in time, a singular person/role, or a single tool. It's more just how things look. It's more than blocks of code, or a prototype. It's a plan for making things better. An intentional process for solving real problems. A way of visualizing what's possible and making it happen. That this takes repeating in 2025 reflects on some level a failure on our part as a design industry. I personally believe that no matter how quickly you can create a working prototype or even a real product in the future, so long as you're building ideas in a team, you will benefit from a shared collaborative space to review and discuss your teams work. A place to explore ideas visually, debate them, and evolve them. A place to make decisions. And sometimes that place might a zoom call or a hallway conversation. Sometimes a messaging tool. Sometimes a digital whiteboard or a slide deck. Sometimes it might happen over a prototype of the thing, or sometimes, increasingly so I hope, it might happen over the thing itself, and ideally discussing with not just our fellow makers, but those using the things we make. These spaces all have a place, and a purpose, at different points in time. Let's keep designing together. Let's keep trying new tools that help us do that. Let's think for ourselves. And most of all, let's touch all the grass we can while we can.

@Ryans_Rovers @WgtnPhoenixFC Ha yeah that tripped me too. Copy paste mixup from the previous Longo email

From today's @WgtnPhoenixFC email 🌟 Exclusive Sneak Peek: Nix skipper re-signs for 2024-25 season Wait, does this mean Colakovski is our Captain?

@Jacob01Aus @pineynz I’ve also tried to make contact on a few occasions too. No response from @fc_auckland yet

@pineynz Any idea what bay is the away bay piney? Doesn’t say on the Ticketmaster and can’t get in contact with Auckland 😂

Hearing ticket sales are going gangbusters for Auckland FC’s opening match. Sellout incoming! How good?

@holliesgotmoxie @ConvertKit @charliprangley Mahi to be proud of Hollie!!

@ConvertKit PS. Wanna see me & @charliprangley talk about the process of creating this illustration system? You can watch Charli's video all about it here! youtube.com/watch?v=D6isEi…

Now everyone has seen some of the incredible @ConvertKit brand & glimpses of the illustrations in @nathanbarry's snazzy pics, it's almost time to say bye to the current illustration system 😭 I've hand-drawn, vectorized & created multiple colourways of 150+ illos conservatively!

@fc_auckland @BarbarousesLove Hey there! I noticed these bays aren’t on sale yet. Any idea when this will be confirmed? Thank you 🙏

@BarbarousesLove We will announce it soon, going to be sections 1 and 2.

🚨Single match tickets are live NOW 🚨 Get your tickets for our FIRST EVER A-League season! Our first EVER game on October 19th and both derby’s against the Wellington Phoenix on December 7th & Feb 22nd can be purchased now. Why wait? See you there. ticketmaster.co.nz/auckland-fc-ti…

@KiwiMally @aleaguemen @juanmata8 @wswanderersfc @eToroAU 💯

@aleaguemen @juanmata8 @wswanderersfc @eToroAU Can’t believe the negative comments over this. Do people really expect us to sign players fresh from the epl? Over the MLS and Middle East? This is great for the league, building hype, more eyes on it. A club has chosen to pay for him. Nothing to lose here. Up the A-league.

Welcome to the A-Leagues, @juanmata8 🤯🇪🇸✍ @wswanderersfc confirm the arrival of the former Chelsea & Manchester United star in the biggest coup in their history. WOW. Full details: tinyurl.com/ywww2937 @eToroAU

We're hiring a Senior Design Manager to join our AI team at @Atlassian . This role will report to me and join our Search and Conversation team to help our customers find, learn, and act—using the power of AI.

@Ryans_Rovers He was a solid player in the midfield. Hurt by his import status - could have seen him play a few more games if he’d been a local.

@a4design Iirc he played as a #10 in the state leagues, so ofc Ricki played him further back

Alex Smith Originally signed by Gold Coast United but cut in pre-season to make room for Maceo Rigters. Miron recommended him to Ricki & he was signed originally as an injury replacement for Pavlovic. Played 41 games over 2 seasons, scoring once. Current the Roar's ALW coach.

@patrick478 @Domestar @skystadium ‘Storm’ probably carries more aggressive connotations. But yes running on respectfully in an outpouring of emotion as soon as the final whistle goes..

@a4design @Domestar @skystadium Club photo on the ground means no need to storm it, we just go down respectfully immediately at the final whistle if we pull it off 😍😍

5 reasons to get to the game @skystadium this Saturday: 1. The Premiers Plate is on the line (and yes it will be there) 2. Kids Go Free 3. Club Photo on ground 4. Pre sales are excellent - get there early 5. The team deserve it! Another special day in club history!

@patrick478 @Ryans_Rovers @WgtnPhoenixFC @AnytimeFitness Even two isn’t going to be enough to stop my fingernails being devoured

@Ryans_Rovers @WgtnPhoenixFC @AnytimeFitness Two early goals and then sit back and resolutely defend before scoring a third with 20 minutes to go would do wonders for the heart rate.

Hello! 👋 Where are you watching the match from tonight Nix fans? 🤔

@patrick478 Unexpectedly poor form here! Disappointing for sure

A rare misstep from S̶i̶m̶e̶o̶n̶ ̶B̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ the Wellington Phoenix men's team to not be celebrating Pride Round by wearing the pride kit this year, and especially by justifying it by saying they raised money for a (completely unrelated) charity last season.

@patrick478 Good areas from you here!

@NZPhotomac @LFC @WgtnPhoenixFC Pretty great time to be supporting both these clubs!

Worn with pride this morning @LFC @WgtnPhoenixFC #YNWA #COYN

This is what makes me excited to support this side. So good @WgtnPhoenixFC @WgtnPhoenixAcad 👏 👏 👏

@Ryans_Rovers @mrsmiis Was impressed by his assist but also his leadership to demand the ball in that moment and face up and play it so quickly.

@mrsmiis The pass to set up Kosta is what he used to dish up for Sotirio. He is really good in this deep play making role.

Alex Rufer's best season in a yellow shirt so far. What a guy. Seems rejuvenated playing in a role that suits his strengths perfectly. Long passing/the switch has been faultless this season and his ability to play out of trouble is much refined. #WELvWSW
